Cops and Fire Fighters don’t have it as tough as you:}
I worked in uniform in NY State Corrections. I'd say that the police on the street, and the firefighters have it a lot harder than I ever did working behind prison walls. Sure, a correction officer can be injured or killed on the job, but the odds of it happening is a lot less than a police officer on the street, or a firefighter who has to physically fight fires and save peoples' lives. When they leave the house, the odds of them getting back home that night alive are far less than what I contended with all those years.
