        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?

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