In today’s turbulent world, many people may wonder if the person with whom they work just might be the next psychopath to make news headlines.

This article diminishes the impact of one profession mentioned as they carry GUNS for a living.
That's right folks, police officers are more than likely to be mentally ill or mentally disturbed and they carry guns as well as interact with citizens making for a deadly combination. Many police officers are under the treatment of mental health professionals for varying psychological disorders and have been seen removing as many as four guns on there person before treatment at mental health facilities. Yes, you read that correctly! Some officers carry FOUR guns while on duty.
Now remember, there is no reasoning with someone that is mentally disturbed, especially when they desire to have power over other humans and carry an assortment of lethal weapons.
Protect yourself from them at all costs. As we have seen most recently locally and even more on a national scale, they are deadly and will commit murder at the slightest provocation or circumstance they can manipulate to be a supposed victim. (as in "I feared for my life")
Psychopaths may also have paranoia disorders. Be careful out there.
Do whatever you can to preserve your life in there presence.
Do not make eye contact.

its best to avoid them at all costs if one can.

Im surprised firefighters did not make the list. they must be under a different category.

I can believe a lot of "radio" people are psychopaths. Not talk show hosts but DJ's. You don't hear about DJ's too much anymore but years ago you did and they were an odd bunch. They seemed to have some kind of frustration going on maybe because they were attention seekers and wannabe celebrities who never made it to the big time.
They used to give themselves fake names for whatever reason as well.

I must be a freelance psychopath because I don't fall in aforementioned categories.
