I hear people complaining all day long about how dangerous it is to be a police officer. Sorry it is a dangerous job, but if someone thinks it is too dangerous then get out of the profession...
Gunner
You have discussions all day long about how dangerous police work is?
Who are these "people," and why are sitting there, listening for lengthy amounts of time?
Oh, and if course, you share the same sentiment for the military services, right? All of which arent nearly as dangerous as say, Vietnam Era.
Go to O.Com and read all about how dangerous police work is. As for the military, same thing... remember folks it is all volunteer, no one is putting a gun to someone's head and forcing them into the military or into police work. The person themselves are making that decision.
Gunner
Then stop reading it if it bothers you so much. I don't understand complaining about it if you're reading it voluntarily?
It doesnt bother me. I could really care less... The only thing that is irritating is how some people want to ***** and moan and complain about how dangerous something is, that they voluntarily do... doesnt make sense to me...
Gunner
Bingo!
Well there is your problem right there...reading O.com. I only go to the "Indiana" page where we talk about topics unique to us. I REFUSE to read anything else from that site. Complain? Hell, a good cop embraces it. I work with lots of good cops.
GAWWWWDD DENNY!!!!!!!!Sorry Cory...it was me.
Now I have to bleach my damn eyes......
Man, you've got that right.

I think I'll go walk around now.
We could improve LEO safety greatly by ending the Drug War. Imagine all those black markets drying up. Gangs and cartels losing their income. No reason for cops to invade homes for plants and substances. Less gang turf war. Far less reason to escalate traffic tickets with hands-on searches. Less interactions with the public, period.
Every officer who cares about safety should be getting on the bandwagon to end prohibition.

I'm more suited to being an exotic dancer and underwear model but because of my lack of dancing skills and tiny junk I'm stuck with being a cop.
And you and the OP are the only two I see complaining in this thread. The JBTs didn't bring itup, you guys did.

I will be honest and say that the danger and excitement is part of what drew me to the job to begin with. I will not complain about the danger until the tools that I have been given to help mitigate the danger are taken away. I wholeheartedly agree with Denny's post above about knowing how to talk to people. I also work with a few folks who seem to be able to make resisters out of anyone and that sux when they show up on a run with me. What he says about getting people to thank you for arresting them is true, it happens to me frequently.
I was first on scene to a person shot a week or so ago and rendered aid to the victim as best I could until medics got there. The next night I arrested a guy in roughly the same neighborhood on a warrant and for driving while suspended. He recognized me from the night before and said thank you to me for helping his friend. There is no need to be a dick since what comes around goes around. Its plenty to have to worry about random asshats being dangerous to my safety that I dont need to start off by angering them right off the bat.

What are you basing your hostile comment on?Like you want to see any officer safe....good grief.
I offered a perfectly reasonable suggestion that I would gladly debate you on. The occupation is exposed to unnecessary dangers because of invasive laws and enforcement policies. Instead of becoming more militant I suggest the occupation become less invasive.
You can't say anything nice about law enforcement...it's abvious that you hate everyone of them to the core...it's not a big secret.
Does this add anything to the discussion here? Why wold you attack him? To be productive you could agree with him, disagree with him, or ignore him. This is the kind of crap that derails good threads.Like you want to see any officer safe....good grief.
