Just look at the LA Sheriff's departmentDon't worry, the cartels will fill the ranks.
Roofing is a more dangerous job with far worse pay, benefits, and respect.They were sadly called to handle a domestic violence issue, and the idiot shot and wounded them both, both dying.
I personally don't know why anyone would do this job, it is what it is.
This is going to give the GOP ammo in 2024.
Eric Adams or Jumaane Williams, who are both Black men.
Why would it be GOP ammo when they did not support capital police?They were sadly called to handle a domestic violence issue, and the idiot shot and wounded them both, both dying.

https://www.hanningsacchetto.com/bl...than-construction-workers-or-police-officers/According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), a pizza delivery driver is at a higher risk of injury and death than a construction worker or police officer.
AMEN!I for one would like to take a moment to thank the true heros of our society, pizza delivery drivers:

It is a thin bread line out their between starvation and despair.

At some point I just became tired of police whining about how dangerous there job is. How they became oriented away from community and moved to empty the magazine just in case attitude.
Their job is dangerous. There are lots of jobs routinely dangerous and heroic.
ER staff average lifespan 58 years. Turns out nobody is perfect all of the time. https://hcn.health/hcn-trends-story/medical-specialties-ranked-by-life-expectancy/
I seem to remember fire fighters also having quite a bit of their life expectancy being reduced, something to do with breathing things that are not particularly healthy and running into structurally questionable buildings.
Then there are the smoke jumpers. Out here in CA their are highways and monuments dedicated to dead smoke jumpers. No way that is not a dangerous and heroic job.
Oh, and then there are the road workers. You know, the people who clean the crap off the free way. Those people. That is an incredibly dangerous job. The person who drives the truck with the long absorb the impact bumper is in an especially bad spot. Passenger vehicles keep getting heavier, and impacts are inevitable. That person is a hero of the first order. They know they are going to get hit. They know it might be nothing, or they might end up in the hospital, or they might end up dead. The person who drives the safety truck, on the highway cleanup crew, grade A hero.
At least they can't abuse their power anymore.Not to nitpick too much, but being dead doesn't mean they're useful. Kinda opposite actually.
When you have a precinct with with 50 officers and 30 of them are Nazis what you really have is a precinct with 50 Nazis. Until police unions are disbanded there are no good cops. Just shitty cops who maybe do good things once in a while.I don't see how attrition is going to help, because there is no guaranty that only bad cops leave. Good ones are just as likely. If they really do have so many bad police, they need to reform their recruiting policies.
Wow! Sounds like exactly the sort of people who should be going into a tense situation and waving a loaded firearm around, with a high potential of being shielded entirely from wrongdoing!No, but I lived in NYC for a decade, and I know how a lot of them are. They are emotional, etc.
Yeah. I'm of the opinion that police recruits need to go through a more rigorous selection process and receive far more extensive training - particularly for departments operating in urban environments. If that means we need to pay better for a more professional police force, then so be it.Wow! Sounds like exactly the sort of people who should be going into a tense situation and waving a loaded firearm around, with a high potential of being shielded entirely from wrongdoing!
They are emotional in that they are passionate....A criminal justice professor from years past said you have to give cops the benefit of the doubt sometimes because they face split-second decisions and the adrenaline rush comes out...Wow!

Just like the ER doc faces split second life and death decisions and gets blanket immunity ... oh wait, he doesn't!They are emotional in that they are passionate....A criminal justice professor from years past said you have to give cops the benefit of the doubt sometimes because they face split-second decisions and the adrenaline rush comes out...
Some criminal justice analysts feel Garner was resisting arrest and his obesity caused his sad ending.Yeah like choking a guy out for minutes for selling loosie cigarettes.
Just like the ER doc faces split second life and death decisions and gets blanket immunity ... oh wait, he doesn't!

That seems a bit unfair. Why does the police officer get immunity?
That makes no sense to me at all.
who decided that?Because people feel they risk their lives and they have a tough job, so they get the immunity.
This all makes sense now.In 1967, the United States Supreme Court introduced qualified immunity in Pierson v. Ray to protect police officers from financial liability after they arrested 15 clergy members for breaching the peace after they attempted to use a segregated waiting room at a bus station.
Why do you have to give cops that hate minorities any benefit of doubt?They are emotional in that they are passionate....A criminal justice professor from years past said you have to give cops the benefit of the doubt sometimes because they face split-second decisions and the adrenaline rush comes out...
Not all cops hate minorities, a lot of cops have done well in black communitiesWhy do you have to give cops that hate minorities any benefit of doubt?
I never said "all". Stop with the strawman.Not all cops hate minorities, a lot of cops have done well in black communities
Democrats are lucky Republicans are a shit show right now and someone like Haley isn't the frontrunner, because she'd be using the police-community problem to surge suburbanites to a GOP win.
ER docs work on important white people, cops murder black people.Just like the ER doc faces split second life and death decisions and gets blanket immunity ... oh wait, he doesn't!

I'm answering out of place, but right-wing authoritarians only care about authority figures that they support...a rightful authority figure.I never said "all". Stop with the strawman.
Cops are know to have made it known their distain for minorities should not be given the benefit of the doubt.
Cops who know about these "bad apples" and remain silent are part of the problem.
If the GOP are so pro-cop why did they fail to support the Capital Police?
True, they need to keep their biases off the jobI never said "all". Stop with the strawman.
