You silly kids...
This sounds like a likely
perspective of young males who are still in the transitioning point from being "
boys" to becoming a "
man"....
Either still living at home with
mom (see "
momma's boy") and trying to figure out their place in life,
or possibly
surviving day to day, but not yet
responsible for anyone or anything of significance.
This is a very different perspective from us
old farts, whom have
responsibilities beyond taking out the garbage and mowing the yard.
Being responsible for others has a way a changing ones perspective... thus a very key difference between boys and men.
Later young
padawon, you too will grow through the post
pubesent years of
angst... and see life through the eyes of your
elders.

Reference the story of the 2 Bulls on the Hilltop)
No, I do not think that Police Officers are immortal or something super-natural....
to the contrary, like I stated before, they are people just like you and me.
BAMF & GP... yes, I still love you both in a very non-homo way
