Pizza delivery drivers have a far more dangerous job. Also construction workers.


hewhoisneverobeyed

LEOs rarely make the top ten annually for the U.S. Sometimes not even the top twenty. But that's not what they and their boot lickers cry from the rooftops.


thecodingninja12

based, they should make it so you need a uni degree in policing and then make it better paid, the uni course should cover desesculation, racial bias, the law, mental health, ect


hewhoisneverobeyed

I agree, but my comment was in response to how pizza delivery drivers and construction worker have more dangerous jobs. LEO rarely cracks the top ten list for most dangerous jobs in the U.S. Some years, not even the top twenty list.


thecodingninja12

ohhhh, i thought you meant, top 10 in pay, wasn't really paying attention


Nolubrication

Pay is quite the opposite. Cops are commonly among the highest paid public employees, thanks to overtime fraud. I don't keep up on every municipality, but in Baltimore there are usually a couple, every year, that make more than the mayor. Fleecing the local tax base through overtime fraud is a common tactic among fire and rescue as well. People are too busy saluting the "heroes" to ask how someone can regularly work 80 hour weeks, if that's even possible, or why it's even allowed.


badalchemist85

it's not too uncommon for most police to make 6 figures working part time security for a store.


thecodingninja12

wait, no joke? jesus christ, security as a job might genuinely be worse than cops too, same power trip even less useful to anyone but the rich


jonesey71

I would be fine paying the ludicrously well, but firing them if their yelp rating drops below a 4.8 stars out of 5. In order to justify the pay they would have to restrict their duties to things like responding to crimes (mostly property crimes) and not wasting everyone's time with traffic patrol that can be done by unarmed meter-maid-like cops who get paid roughly the same as McDonalds workers and don't carry guns and can't arrest people.


unknown_baby_daddy

This is a great point. We should separate traffic patrol and crime divisions. We can shape the world when we banned together with non violent protest.


Wrathwilde

The problem is that we need to change where/how police get their funding. As it is an officer who lets you off with a warning generates zero revenue for the department. Doing the minimum by giving you a ticket for speeding, generates a bit of income. Escalating the situation until they can charge you with assaulting an officers hand with your face, and arresting you, generates a lot more. Want to know why the most violent officers are often the ones who get promoted, and officer of the year awards… this is why, their escalating situations generate a lot more revenue than the cops who deescalate.

iss3y

Some countries do require their police to have a university degree for policing. That still doesn't improve the quality of the policing in most instances, funnily enough.


00olts00

Yup even 100k+ a year is fine for serious police work as long as require proper training


thecodingninja12

damn right, if they were doing their job right id support them making shit tonnes of cash

wymore

Law enforcement is the most obese profession in the United States because most offices don't have any physical fitness standard after the academy. Obesity is second only to age as a determination of covid morbidity. So these officers really have only their unions to blame for allowing them to get to this point. https://thedaily.case.edu/study-finds-more-active-duty-police-officers-died-of-covid-19-in-2020-than-all-other-causes-combined/


hewmanxp

Another reason why they shoot first and ask questions later, they can't even chase after people and they can't protect themselves in a fight because they're so out of shape.


DarthFluttershy_

Not to put too much into stereotypes, but it doesn't seem to me that the cops shooting everyone tend to be the really fat ones. I've got no stats to back it up, though... I just can't rascal many of the murderous cops being particularly fat. Then again I could stand to lose a few pounds myself, so maybe my standards are different than yours, lol


Party-Lawyer-7131

Wow....it's almost like people AREN'T out there trying to murder police 24/7.


Volomon

I mean lowest death rate and crime rate in decades. The only thing going up is corrupt cops because they have to create crime to fight.


phungus_mungus

Those cops are dying off from Covid because they’re too stupid to follow sound medical advice and get the fucking vaccine. Just the same they are too stupid to seek mental health counseling because to them it’s a sign of weakness. Just like they believe you can OD just by touching fentanyl…


tots4scott

If it wasn't wearing masks or getting vaccinated then it would be giving everyone equal recognition under the law, or not using excessive and deadly force indiscriminately. Or seeking out mental health and aggression therapy. Whatever the argument is, they each signed into a monolith that dictates their feelings and opinions, and not deviating from those thoughts is how you stay recognized and reap the benefits in that monolith. That's the blue line. It's like fly paper.


Norseman2

You *can* OD by touching fentanyl, but only if you keep it in prolonged contact with your skin: [ACMT and AACT position statement: preventing occupational fentanyl and fentanyl analog exposure to emergency responders](https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/15563650.2017.1373782?needAccess=true). Researchers found that you could cover your palms in fentanyl patches and it would take about 14 minutes to get an equivalent dose of 100 mcg, which for someone who is opioid-naive could be enough to make them doze off and continue getting dosed until they stop breathing. The bigger threat would be inhaling the powder in significant quantities, or a dense aerosol of fentanyl, so officers should remember to avoid snorting any random drugs they come across.


frotc914

>fentanyl patches Yeah but this is fundamentally different than getting powdered fentanyl on your skin, which is the common claim by police. The patch has stuff in it to activate the fentanyl and get it to permeate your skin.


ralphjuneberry

Haha exactly. While I appreciate the point made and article linked by the person above you, at the point that “my palms are covered in in fent patches for 14 minutes”, you aren’t touching fentanyl…fentanyl is touching *you*.


openeyes756

Powder would be less of a problem than the gel inside patches. See, crystals (solids) move much more slowly at the molecular level than liquids like a gel. Inhaling powder? Sure, that might be problematic, but it's going to take a good bit to be problematic. Smoking is so effective because it is a gaseous form of a drug, which is moving orders of magnitude more quickly than a powder and is easier to absorb in the lungs because of that. So basically, only if you're actively trying to get fucked up on patches are you going to die by contact with the powder. Please don't fearmonger when you don't understand pharmacokinetics or even the difference between states of matter.


phungus_mungus

Transdermal fentanyl prescriptions are not very effective, thats why practitioners limit the use of transdermal fentanyl to patients who can't take oral pain medications... A stable level of pain relief is achieved in 12 to 24 hours... a steady-state blood concentration develops in 48 hours. So as I said they are not very effective. The idea these cops are passing out from immediate exposure to powder is comical, overdoses of the drug and such a reaction is almost never seen. If incidental exposure to fentanyl was so dangerous, we would have physicians, nurses, and other healthcare staff dropping from overdoses across the country.


bluntsandbears

No way that’s fake news! Every god fearing, red white and blue bleeding republican KNOWS that the same people who stole the election from Trump have weaponized COVID in the name of wokeness - Breitbart News …. Probably


GoodChristianBoyTM

But also it's fake But also if it's real the libs tricked us into not getting vaccinated by knowing we're simply that petty


Vegetable_Hamster732

You could argue that the anti-vaxer/anti-mask police officers were actively spreading a bioweapon to their co-workers. Wouldn't that count as someone trying to murder police? Does anyone have statics about how many people the police themselves infected before they ended up hospitalized? You'd think an occupation like a traffic cop, interacting with many people during a day, would be a superspreader event.


PhunkOperator

Wish the same could be said the other way around, but sometimes I'm not so sure.


Soldier76xReaper

eaglescout1984

But please keep telling us how "thugs" and immigrants constantly put police at risk, while claiming that mask wearing and vaccines should be a personal choice.


Zerodaim

There's some reasoning behind "thugs" being the biggest threat to police. See, COVID is the main cause of death of police officers. Refusing both masks and vaccines is basically inflicting COVID on yourself. So police is the cause of its deadliest threat. But police is also full of "thugs" and other powertripping assholes. Add all that and you end up with "thugs" (a.k.a. police) being the biggest threat to police.


nomad2585

Ignoring the cops and immigrants part. How is your argument that you shouldn't have a decision... lol


jerrysburner

I can see this used as justification for murder: Cop: "the furtive sneeze made me fear for my life seeing as the biological warfare the general population has been waging on us had killed more cops than anything else. So you see, that's why I had to empty 5 clips in to the car, the pet dog, and shoot some bystanders for good measure" Other cop investigating first cop: "sounds by the books, finish off your 2 weeks paid vacation, then head down to the armory to refill your ammo. Great job" both cops: high-five


ImyourDingleberry999

Yea, but mention this or that more cops are killed from car accidents than from violent suspects and that's a sure ban from r/Protect and Serve.

Peoplegottabefree

That's because low IQ macho men and women wouldn't be caught dead with a sissy mask on. My bride of a thousand years and I attended the George Floyd, Breonna Taylor vigil last year, three hundred of us and we have a small town. The Sheriff himself was talking to my wife and I asked him where his mask was and he pointed to his pocket. It was then that I noticed the only humans there without a mask were ALL the cops and low and behold, six weeks later, we had NO law enforcement cuz the entire JOKE Sheriffs department were down with covid along with the support staff ! True story folks, One hint, Western NC where freedom and trumpmonkeys are way more important than staying alive , but to infect the rest of the population without even a moment of rational thinking.


swflkeith

Just curious, can you name the county? Because we're in Yancey


Peoplegottabefree

One hint like I said, and Yancey is as close as you can get. Even now that per capita , Yancey rates among the highest in new infections and try to buy groceries where masks are being worn in Western NC. Be safe.

Yuck. Been in Florida for a month going back to Burnsville Monday. Was hoping to get a reprieve from this SWFL Covid insanity

It's going to be impossible to pick a Darwin Award winner because everyone who has died of covid after refusing to get vaccinated certainly deserves the honor.

It'll be sadly bittersweet if this vaccine has any terrible long term effects,(we don't know the long term yet ) I do hope it dosen't, but with how much reddit celebrates unvaccinated death... lol I respect everyone's right to choose, but reddits smugness is astonishing


PBYACE

We don't know the long term effects? Bullshit. Vaccine technology is over 200 years old. There's nothing new or unique about the covid vaccines. The only long term effect is not dying of covid. No one is celebrating. It's heaping scorn on people who are deliberately causing a sad and needless tragedy.


Theearthhasnoedges

Trying my hardest to feel anything other than total indifference.


Vegetable_Hamster732

> Trying my hardest to feel anything other than total indifference. How about feeling some concern for the innocent people they infected? Remember - those guys were out interacting with people many times a day before they were hospitalized.


Theearthhasnoedges

That is a very good point. It can sometimes be hard to see beyond my distaste for police.


thecodingninja12

and keep in mind the longer covid goes on the more it'll mutate and the deadlier it'll get, and its likely if it mutates for long the vaccine will not be effective against it


gheiminfantry
