2. for every one first responder actively risking their life

i can show you 15 talking on the radio about where to go for lunch. another 20 fucking up rush hour traffic and creating gridlock, 10 more sitting around the firehouse waiting for the grub to get done cooking while watching TMZ and another 47 off duty drinking themselves into oblivion (3 of whom will get a "fraternal" pass when they get pulled over for DUI).

first responder worship is bullshit.

yes, they serve a vital public service, but the mythology of them always being in harm's way is a lie.
