>destined for great things
Cop here. Not being a dick but most likely you're not gonna do "great things" unless you become a detective or join a task force. That's not hard, but be ready for your patrol years to suck. LOTS of women become officers and expect to make detectives in their first year.
>dangerous part
Never forget the dangerous part, but do remember that not everyone is a scumfuck.
>be on the news for shooting a 16 year old
Well, you're gonna be a public official if you become a cop. You can get on the news or be gossipped about for all kinds of shit. You MAY encounter a 16 year old who decides he's a thug and grabs a gun during a traffic stop. He MIGHT not shoot you with it. He MIGHT be a Gen Z tablet goblin whose brain didn't develop an empathy center correctly and put a structurally superfluous new shithole in your lower belly. Whether or not you get in a gunfight is almost never your choice.

>stop child predators
Noble. But remember that you're probably not going to catch any molesters until they've already molested, and unfortunately there's a good chance that they'll do quite a bit of it before someone finally speaks up. It's still righteous to put them away, but remember you most likely won't catch them in the act

get your fitness up then. I went to a state trooper academy and got the fitness award that they have. Those scores are the bare minimum for the FBI, from my understanding.
