danger.

The violence is almost all a policy creation and also greatly overstated. It is more dangerous to drive a damn cab.

Please stop pretending these folks are getting mowed down and constantly shot at, it is bullshit. They kill more of us.

Stop with the no knock bullshit and high speed chases and they would be safer than many workers.

Give me a cruiser over a coal mine any day of the week. I'd take cop over convenience store clerk anytime.
