What is the "sacrifice" that cops make?

[Klyk21]

Most sacrifice their safety to protect the freedoms we enjoy on the daily. Without them in place It would be like a real life Purge movie. I don't necessarily "like" cops but I respect what they do on the daily (most of them...).

You are slow though, you never once answered what they sacrifice

Some cop let you call your P.O. that to you is a sacrifice, easy to see how stupid you are when your brain puts that together with sacrifice.

nikka over here on probation talking like he was behind the wall and shyt. Not knowing thats it protocol to contact the parole officer regardless when you get picked up by one time. Its a sad day when a cop does what he is actually supposed to do and nikkas building statues for them as heroes.

They have guns, vests and a free pass to murder innocent civilians with impunity. They are compensated handsomely with funds and benefits. It is not a sacrifice. ANd cops don't "protect the freedoms" of this country. That would be an argument for people that are in the service. Not the dumbass who couldnt finish school and needed a gig starting off at $50k.

I'm not going to say police make a lot or that they sacrifice I'm also not going to say service members do either because without the pay and benefits none of us would of joined.

Too true, it's a level of propaganda at work to keep people in order, only morons can't see it. The police are being deified to keep people in line, anyone who questions their "sacrifice" is jumped on. There are far more dangerous jobs that don't get the same level of reverence, hell garbage men are more likely to die on the job than cops.

On the propaganda point, police have an inestimable reserve of free positive publicity that has benefited them enormously for the past 60+ years...

Why?

Half the shows on TV are fukking pro cop propaganda!!! Cops are made out to be superheroes in damn near every prime time show but somehow an alleged "war on the police"has been going on in popular culture? shyt I wish there was!

The area of freedom I was referring to mostly was safety. They keep the peace.

Garbage men sacrifice long term health to make sure our streets are clean, without them this place would look like a real life Wall-E movie and the bubonic plague could make a comeback. When we gonna start giving some props to them.

Most cops I've come across are fat and out of shape.

bless us with more thoughts from the mind that is 3,770 in the red

 

[Box Factory]

Add in the fact that they're placed above the law and are basically unfireable and yeah there's next to no sacrifice

They're given every privilege and always get the benefit of the doubt no matter what they do. Even if you're completely shyt at your job you probly just get reassigned.

And folks(blacks included) are eatin dat bullshyt up.

Great article from last year about dat nonsense:

Police don’t need to hug black people. They just need to stop killing them.

Some excerpts:

These stories almost always involve young children or women, never fully-grown black men — the very people who are disproportionately killed by cops over and over again. Filling the void of “absentee fathers,” the police are becoming, in these supposedly feel-good stories, the breadwinners, protectors and sources of stability within the lives of black women and children. But the narrative erases the role the police played in causing so many of those absences, and the celebration of cops as saviors tells us a lot about the audaciously sneaky and sometimes seductive nature of racism.

The #BlackLivesMatter movement and those demanding racial justice are not asking for groceries, hugs and other kinds of paternalistic acts. It is demanding that the epidemic of police violence stop. Doling out candy and taking kids to a dance is not justice. None of this will solve systemic issues — broken windows, municipal fundraising, the school-to-prison pipeline, racial profiling, mass incarceration and police brutality. Fixing flat tires and handing out ice cream does not address the longstanding structural inequalities that persist in cities like Baltimore, Ferguson and Cleveland.

These feel-good stories are a tool of mass distraction. They tell us to look away from all those dead bodies and non-indictments. Instead, let’s have a collective “Ahh” moment; we can cry those happy tears instead of accounting for the sadness and rage resulting from the murders of Tamir Rice, Michael Brown, Freddie Gray and, and, and . . .

So don’t believe the hype. The police are not your friend. Books and dances or no books and dances, the baton, handcuffs and the gun remain their primary tool of interaction — particularly within communities of color.

First responder, firemen >>> fukk a lazy privileged pig

Just because someone's just doing their job that doesn't mean they can't be thanked, especially when their occupation puts them in a much different relationship with the public individually than most others.
Don't really understand that argument (I've never thanked a cop when I had to deal with them though, except for when my friends and I got caught trespassing on a roof and he let us go).

Either way I don't see any major sacrifice they make compared to other jobs other than the things they have to see (especially for those in sex crimes), the stress, and possibility for death or injury in service of others (though plenty of other jobs risk death just in other circumstances).

So saying they don't make any sacrifice is a little too much for me, a lot of jobs do, but plenty of people exaggerate.

Also a lot of this is relative, the relationship and actions of police where I grew up is damn well not going to be the same as it is in Baltimore or New York or something.
