Lots of jobs have the potential to be arrested. Teachers get beat up and assaulted all the time in school. Youtube is full of examples of ferals and other students attacking them. At least a cop can carry.
T, the risk is far greater for cops.
And, in my neck of the woods, teachers get paid more and have better bennies.
And what good is carrying if a cop won’t use his weapon to defend himself, his fellow officers, and/or the public.
#StayFetal isn’t just a hashtag.

Thank you for mentioning that. I was an urban school teacher for decades. Many of my fellow teachers were assaulted. And a few were hurt so bad that they were forced into an early retirement.
I myself was hit numerous times. One time I was breaking up a fight - a small kid was being bullied - and I got hit so hard that I had to go to the hospital.
But few people care to consider that. We get summers off. So we’re garbage. It doesn’t matter if we’re up until 11PM grading papers during the school year. And it doesn’t matter if we get hurt trying to defend the defenseless.
