I’m guessing no one ever told him what exactly the military does in real life. Speaking as a veteran, I know.
EGGSactly Batman!
Cops live a much safer life than say a Catapult operator on a US air Craft Carrier, or an Army Caravan Driver in the Middle East, or a Coast Guard Rescue Swimmer not mention the guys responsible for deactivating IEDs and that list can go on and on and on.
Truth is the majority of cops are in more danger of dying of a heart attack than getting shot. Not because they are lazy but because their duties keep many of them riding around in cars most of the day and they don't get much exercise...
Now the problem is that people are getting a look at how bad cops operate and those videos are having an effect on how the population views LEOs...
Too many morons with badges and guns violating rights makes ALL LEOs look bad. If it's not stamped down soon there will come a tipping point. And once we cross that line it will take much blood sweat and tears before we get back to where the police are trusted again.
My combat pay was $95 a month. What are cops paid nowadays?
