GP made a point of talking about how overworked and aggrieved the cops tend to be, which is a talking point among thin blue line types; I didn't necessarily read anything into their statement other than maybe wondering about how true it is (IME cops more-or-less tend to be well compensated and work reasonable hours, due to strong unions and cultural priorities) -- but I can see where someone would read more into it.
Whether the cops are actually overworked or not doesn't matter. If the responding officers think themselves overworked, they will react negatively to being tested. What matters isn't reality but how they think of themselves.
