Re: Lack of knowledge may be reasonable
I totally agree with you - sharing anonymised stories between ourselves harms no-one and brightens many a day (even if only by causing someone to say "Thank God! It's not just my users!")
If you have friends who are policeman and come to be trusted enough by their colleagues that they will share work stories in front of you, you need two things:
A strong stomach, and a robust sense of humour.
That said I have spent evenings with two friends who are detectives in a large city police force that have been funnier than any stand-up routine I have ever seen. They have not only seen some very bizarre things, but manage to tell them in a way that makes them tear-inducingly funny....
