UPDATE: Devastating news. This dangerous bill passed 213-212, with @RepAOC @RashidaTlaib and @JamaalBowmanNY abandoning their positions and voting "present" instead of against it, thus supporting giving cops more money and weapons to use against the most vulnerable people.— Alec Karakatsanis (@equalityAlec) May 20, 2021
lol the idea that police en masse aren't by and large the most well paid of public employees is one of the craziest scams perpetuated on the American people.
Cops gotta get free everything because they put their lives on the line (unlike say a landscaper) and that $150k paycheck, benefits, and lifetime pension doesn't stretch as much as it used to.
Nah, cops still have one of the more dangerous jobs. They're just in the same ballpark as every other job that involves driving. Because being in traffic, not action hero fantasies, is the reason the job has any danger at all.
I'm only bringing this up because I value accuracy. Death to America, as always.
Definitely one of the top 25 most dangerous jobs in the US. But speaking of driving, it's more dangerous to be a truckdriver. Or a sanitation worker (also driving, and standing around near traffic, but unlike a cop car no one bothers to give a garbage truck a wide berth.)
Incidentally, it's also more dangerous to be a landscaper.

It's statistically much safer to be a cop than a pizza delivery driver (or probably most jobs). Pays better, too.
