"Do I have an anger management problem? Well, let's be frank, anger expedites the healing process. Plus, it's an excellent teaching and learning tool. As the ages-old wisdom thoughtfully states, give a man a fire and he will be warm for the night, however, light the man on fire and he will be warm for the rest of his life.
I solemnly live by that profound philosophy. I teach by example, I train only those who can be trained. And then I start using the tasers to introduce a little variety into the situation.
It separates the men from the boys, the wheat from the chaff. In that yawning abyss of electricity, only the devoted, the ambitious, the talented succeed.
And then I fire beanbags at them. It keeps them guessing, you see.
Whatever reason is there to do that? Possibly none, but it's funny. And everyone needs to have more laughter in their lives.
Father decided I was spending too much in the drink, too much time slagging it up. Son, you need a proper education, he would say. Son, how about you manage our local constabulary? That proceeded marvelously. Then I had the misfortune to implicate another member of the aristocracy of wanton and lascivious embezzlement. Admittedly, it turns out I was doing it, but hey, you can't turn away a patsy and scapegoat if it's staring at you right in the eye.
I made a pretty penny, and all of it in offshore accounts for a rainy day, and the old goat is at the vets. Oh well, one must do with what one has.
Now, I'm across the pond, teaching these Americans the true art of policing with violence for maximum efficiency.
As befitting my stature and my status as a member of the landed nobility, I have been given the honour or drudgery, however you look at it, of managing a team of SWAT.
Being the overgrown flies they are, this has presented me with challenges, rewards and hilarity, as it should. I will document my progress.
Also, in America, I seem to be able to do magic."

All of the above should be spoken with received pronunciation, a curled lip, and a handlebar mustache.
