      When my sister in law isn’t a firefighter or ambulance attendant - really really - she’s a cop. Hero or bastard? How’s that fit in your wheel of judgement?

        Why are the same people doing 3 high pressure jobs? That’s not going to help with the individual’s stress. No wonder your cops make poor choices

          First responder jobs in the U.S. are often very low pay, sometimes no-pay (volunteer). It’s very common for first responders to have multiple jobs here, unfortunately.

        Ah, yes. This thing is horrible, maybe, but what about this other thing?

        What a great argument. If only there were some kind of term for it.

        The last person I want to be around during an emergency is a cop – on or off-duty

        My issue is cops killing innocent people everyday with no consequences. Shot an unarmed person, it’s ok. You can quit and move to a new department to do it again. Rape women in your custody, it’s ok, we will just make a law saying you can’t do that. Fuck all cops.

          nah, be like the Mississippi sheriff and execute your mistress because she got pregnant, then be upset that the FBI arrests half the fucking department on counts of assisting the sheriff in his coverup, considering the people who hate the FBI and why, one has to assume they are genuinely competent police

          The fuck all cops? Heck ya. The same people who say this run screaming for help to cops as soon as shit goes sideways. Makes me laugh.

        Rightwingers aren’t people, so it’s okay for police to shoot them :)
