How did you guys miss this quote from the 16 y/o girl...

“I like shooting them,” Cathy said. “I like the sound they make. It gets me excited.”

I don't think so....pop culture has glorified the coroner from Quincy, ME to the CSI franchise (and Law and Order recently).

Heck CSI was/is one of the most popular shows on TV, and it's all about forensics, which is what a coroner is all about. So why wouldn't a kid want to do that?

Screw CSI! You can't forget about the hottest goth chic forensic scientists on t.v...Abby from NCIS. :drool:

The police explorer groups I've been familiar with focused on search and rescue, community service, and firearms safety. Not dark jumpsuit clad tactical assault teams.

This is an insightful comment given that the same can be said of the police departments these Explorer groups are attached to.

As the department culture goes, so goes that of the Explorer groups.

To the extent that our modern police are increasingly militarized, jack-booted, aloof, defensive, militarily uniformed and rapidly approaching a bunker, us-vs.-them mentality towards the citizenry they are supposed to serve & protect, it is no wonder that the associated Explorer groups adopt a similar demeanor (and attitude).

I am convinced that this show exists solely to flash Cote De Pablo's ass at least once an episode.

I mean, she HAS to know it is happening...
