What is the "sacrifice" that cops make?

[Zero]

@ You asking if people are dumb, yet in here caping for police not realizing that he was doing his job. Being a prisoner doesn't make you any less of a human idiot, he didn't have to but his job entails that he should do that, cot damn some of you on here are fukking stupid as hell.


And, you are as stupid as you seem, @Geoffrey_Chaucer was in the military and literally just said it wasn't a sacrifice, it was his choice.

Did you peep how breh devalued himself so easily?

 

[FukYaFeelings]

President? The fukk does that have to do with this topic.

Roofing is actually the 4th most dangerous job in the US, they also have to worry about falling to their deaths. You fail to see the point, yet again, dumb as rocks

We're talking about jobs, and being the president is a job.

I see the point you're making, it's just a retarded point

I don't think you're understanding the premise of this thread.

Its not that "cops have never been useful ever"
Its "what are they sacrificing?"

And with their pay, pension, union, benefits and extra rights that are beyond what a civilian can do, they are elevated to an elite status, instead of being public servants.


Ok lets think of it this way, this might help you understand.
Pretend someone walks up to you one day and gives you all this shyt.

-You get a gun, you are legally allowed to kill people now
-You get a fast car, you can legally break the speed limit and all traffic laws whenever you want now
-You get cuffs, you can legally apprehend people now
-You get a dog, you can legally bring it anywhere and sic it on people now
-You get a badge, you can pull it out to make people do all kinds of shyt for you
-And you get initiated into a gang with 50 other people with the same powers.

That's not a sacrifice breh, thats the exact fukking opposite.

I hate how one statement turns me into some kind "blue lives matter" defender in this thread. I perfectly understand what the op asked bro. I said, they sacrficice their lives (in some instances) to keep us safe. You go to the mall with your family and eating, who's there to make sure no one comes on you and start busting? Cops! You're getting jumped outside of a store and robbed, who is going to take HIS FAST CAR, BADGE AND GUN and go catch the ARMED dude who just robbed your punk ass? Cops! @Malta getting his shyt pushed in and his frantic neighbors hear screams of sheer terror....who they going to call? C O P S!

That's my point....that is the sacrifice they make! Their safety to keep us all safe and keep the world from turning on one another at any given moment....still happens but without them, like i said above, it would look like a real life purge

Not surprising you'd have some gay shyt in your post.

Ummmm okaaaay?

"You're on your computer, trying to watch netflix, but their server is down. Who's there to make sure you can bingewatch Daredevil? NETWORK ENGINEERS. "
"You just got robbed and you're trying to get money out of the ATM but it cannot read your card. Who's there to help you get your money? BANK CUSTOMER SUPPORT"
"You just hit a nail and go ta flat on a country road. Who's gonna be there to make sure you can tow your car? TOW TRUCK SERVICE"

I don't understand your point breh...

A job is a job.

Stop acting like being a cop is the only job that matters. They aint sacrificing more than you and me.

I'm not sure why you keep coming up with these strange comparisons. All i'm saying/said was the SAFETY is the sacrifice. Now you can just say "safety is not a sacrifice" instead of typing up retarded metaphors

...if that's how you feel

Its already been empirically proven that being a cop is not a very dangerous job tho so.... what's your point?


They are plenty safe

nikka's get raped everyday , b

Meaning yet again, they sacrificed their safety to save you. Not sure why that's so hard to understand. You still haven't been able to come up with a valid counter argument. I'm at work so that will give you some time to make some shyt up..

I'd say imagine a society where there was no police, and I don't mean because everyone would be law abiding citizens in a peaceful, serene utopia. Life would be like the Purge and Mad Max. I get the point that it's a profession that they chose, a profession that they get paid to do, but lets not act like most people are knocking down the door to become police officers. Lets not act like most parents are encouraging their children to become police officers. Its the same as the military, most folks are not going to go looking to join the forces, especially during times of international conflict and tension.

Another way to look at it IMO, and lets be reality, the fukkery that goes on in your average American hood, is either tolerated or given the shrugged shoulders response. It goes without saying that most residents within low income communities either don't care to hold their neighbors and peers to a reasonable standard of ethical behavior, or they feel too hopeless to even try. That's why those with the ability and means get as far away from the hood as possible. Many who do get away don't even give any thought to trying to assist others still stuck there. I guess that's how those who get away shrug their shoulders. That said, imagine there are no police? Nobody on here is gonna volunteer for that line of work. Not too many folks are gonna take a job that puts them in the line of fire, in sh!tty communities. Myself personally I'm not doing any job that requires having to deal with people who qualify for Medicaid, much less take a job that requires enforcing the law among a community that tolerates the lawless.

Haha what the fukk? Ok, done with you. @Malta , you're up. I know you can do better than this guy with the exact same avatar

The entire premise of your argument is that cops are sacrificing their safety for our benefit.

But its not even a top 10 dangerous job
Your local mechanic is sacrificing his safety for your benefit so you dont die on the road, and that is statistically a more dangerous job than being a cop.

Its not my fault you can't face reality. Being a cop is not as dangerous as you think.

You watch too much TV breh, you must think cops are out here doing all this spectacular dangerous shyt... but in the real world, its not really like that

We got Jordan yall, he's with us again

That said, in his letter I couldn't help but notice this line -



I always hear about this, but it never makes any kind of sense to me, what is this sacrifice? Can someone help explain what sacrifice cops are making that other professions aren't? You never hear about the sacrifice roofers, loggers or long shore fishermen make, and they have worse pay and a higher rate of fatality than police. There's no reverence for the long shore fisherman that could die in about 100 different ways just to get you your lobster or crab. I mean base pay for NYPD after 5 years is $60,000 without overtime and with overtime most of these dudes are making around $100k or more. For example the top earner in overtime 2 years ago made $82,000 extra ontop of his $112,000 salary, these dudes are pulling in serious money all across the country.


They have a pension, benefits out the ass and a strong union all while having a job that isn't even statistically top 10 for most dangerous, they don't get nearly the amount of hate as people working in retail get. So where or rather what is the sacrifice I keep reading about?

@Malta with the hard facts

The majority of police take the job because its their best financial option

One of the few careers that still have a pension

Sh*t, i dont have a pension

Plus they have easy access to stealing drugs and free hookers

They have a great job

Ask yourself.. If a stranger calls your phone at 2 in the morning and tells you there's a man with a gun that's trying to kill them..

What would you're response be...

Well whatever it is the cops response is the exact opposite ..


It take a h3ll of a sacrifice to run and put yourself in danger to help save a stranger..

This lack of respect for police because of a few shytty ones and threads like this are getting is getting out of control


Like those Cacs say if you don't like police, the next time you need help call a Crackhead instead.

Hmm, statistically speaking, does a being a black male in America carry the same risk as being a cop in America--without the privilege and authority?

Both can get killed at any given moment.

To answer your question. The service they provide is upholding the law and protecting citizens who are unable to defend themselves. The sacrifice is the hours they spend away from their family and friends to work another thankless job. A cop has a higher chance of dying on duty than you do at whatever job you have... Most likely. Once again, I'll have to check stats.

fukk outta here nikka. Brehs with CDL's have a higher risk of dying while on the job. Your pie ass actually buying that shyt whitey be selling. Cops ain't shyt but lames of all races who couldn't get a better job and were too scared and/or stupid to go out on they own and get it themselves.
