The reforms needed for police has been for many years. How is it that this year, an election year it comes to a forefront? All of those years and decades in deep blue run cities with commission after commission set up by city governments and local black leaders like community activists and block captains with little results but paying these people lots of money and benefits got only the taxpayer snookered. Truthfully responsibility is double edged. The citizens need to do their part to. Because reforms will do nothing.Dumbest thing I've read in awhile. You do not live in anything resembling a cops life.Welcome to the world the rest of us have lived in Officer
They put their life on the line daily. They deal with criminals daily.
But you go ahead and keep living in your fantasy land.
A man died at work this week. He was not a cop. He was merely a man trying to earn a living for his family. Statistically speaking. There are at least a dozen different jobs that are far more dangerous than police. We do not grant them any special consideration. Coast Guardsmen go out in weather that has everyone else rushing to a safe harbor. We don’t shrug and say they have a tough job and whatever.
Fishermen die every year. Loggers die every year. We don’t let them tear up a bar and shrug saying whatever. You have to understand they have a tough job.
Soldiers are expected and required to behave a certain way. So are Marines, Sailors, and Air Force personnel. We have high standards of behavior for them. For far less money than cops get I might add. And nobody shrugs and says hey they have a tough job. You have to cut them some slack.
In fact. Military run Prisons are even more brutal than the civilian ones. Military members are expected to behave properly. If a military member does misbehave one of the charges is always conduct unbecoming. That sends the message that this is not tolerated.
Yet when we are discussing cops we have to take into consideration they have a top twenty dangerous job. Far safer than many others. But it doesn’t matter. It is the talking point. We have to respect the propaganda right?
If a logger goes home after a bad day and beats the wife. Nobody covers it up. His tough job doesn’t seem to matter now does it?
Firemen run into burning buildings to save people. We don’t cut them any slack because of their dangerous job. Unless you think that they are Pussies.
Only when we discuss cops is it dangerous job. When we point out others are in as much danger. Or more. And do not get slack for their professions we are told it is different.
OK. Tell me how it is different. Tell me how a soldier on the lines at a forward operating base in Afghanistan who is under threat and often attack every day is able to behave properly without resorting to crime but a cop isn’t?
Tell me how the Navy manages to maintain discipline when every single cruise will result in at least one dead sailor?
Tell me how the Marines Maintain such a high level of honor and integrity when they are the top of the spear constantly? When they are sent in where others fear to even consider going.
If you are honest. You will admit the excuses made for cops would not fly an inch in the Military. If you have any integrity you would admit that you are swallowing the propaganda hook line and sinker.
Nobody else gets that consideration do they?
