Police officers assume a moderate level of risk for which they are generally well compensated by those who work in the private sector.
    We are number 12 on that list and while most jobs you get hurt from accidents cops are getting shot and assaulted. Big difference. So frankly I don't care if you think its getting thin. And no cops are not generally well paid as you implied. The pay is not the point however for this topic. The person I responded too was calling cops spineless and that was out of line for what we the job requires us to do. Just walking out your door in the morning is not the same as making a high risk entry on some idiot holding hostages.

    As NC stated, let's start acting like adults. The CONTINUED pursuit of an argument, for what appears as just the sake of arguing, is getting really old, really fast.

    It's how kids act.

    Quit acting like kids.
