I agree 100%.I do a bit of work with cops and tons of work with firemen. I would NOT want to be a cop. It can be a scary, sketchy and difficult job (with scary, sketchy, violent people). They get a lot of really unfair perceptions and hasty generalizations just for being cops. Most firemen work their asses off as well and I can't think of a single negative assumption anyone makes about them. I think being out on the field as a cop and worrying about getting shot while approaching a car window, in a restaurant, every shift etc sure would phuk with my own head. No thanks.

Attitudes like this is why they get away with murder and every other crime most of the time.I do a bit of work with cops and tons of work with firemen. I would NOT want to be a cop.

stressful yes, dangerous, No going by statsThis.
The job is insanely dangerous and stressful.
Aye I was hoping that was the real story. Original post was a bit confusing.
Down in Abreojos we were eating in the only cantina in town and a bunch of Federales pulled up. They also sat down to eat and one of them, a young guy, pulled out his rifle and trained it on my buddies head. I just laughed it off and assured my friend the gun was not loaded but he was freaking out and we had to leave with our meals half eaten. The whole time the gun was aimed at my friend. Fun times!Back in the day, Mexico was the worst. Federles. You could be out in the middle of nowhere and a unmarked car would pull up. Search through all of your gear. You were toast.
With that said I think that they are abdicating their responsibilities in SF and LA while going for a money grab. Cops there will write you a jaywalking ticket with a straight face right next to a bunch of bums 69ing on top of a pile of trash with hypodermic needles hanging out of their asses (hyperbole).
Our state is only concerned with pandering to "victims"I'm guessing it's more they have zero support from the DA when it comes to the homeless / drug addicts.
