They also get vests, guns, the ability to speed and a lot of other perks for their job that would be criminal for us peasants. In my opinion, those things are already enough compensation for the risks they knowingly and willingly take. I do not believe their lives are any more important, significant or valuable than that of any other productive citizen. For example, on a per capita basis, fishermen and loggers give up their lives a lot more frequently than officers do, and they feed and shelter us.

I bet you’d be the first to complain if your home got invaded and the cops didn’t show up quick enough for your liking.
Vests and guns aren’t “perks” my FRiend: for cops they are “safety equipment”. And they get the “ability to speed” so that they can get to crime scenes and catch fleeing crooks faster.

Why aren’t you a cop?
