You are right, we are not super human, and we are just men and women. But......there is more difference than just a shield and the uniform. That's just ignorant. Lets compare work days sometime, SERIOUSLY, come on now.

Not what I meant, Glock Lover. Of course the risks inherent in your job are high, but they are part of your job. The risks of a vehicle accident with an ambulance are high also, but I can't expect to completely clear the roads to get where I'm going. I can only "ask" for the right-of-way with the lights and siren. My comment was addressed to the idea that all LEOs have a mastery over firearms the normal citizen cannot attain paired with the idea that one person is more important than another solely because of his/her job. The job may be more important; the person equally important but no more nor less.
No disrespect intended; sorry for the confusion.
Blessings,
