How would you know, what are you a doctor or something?

[Day]

I wont say that doctors arent exposed to any danger, cause hearing the hospital stories from my friends, they absolutely are exposed to some forms of danger, but I wont go so far as to say its higher than that of a cop.

depends on the area the cop is working in probably

Most cop deaths are traffic accidents anyway so the violent part of the job is less relevant than you'd think

[NynJa]

Obviously if the cop is working in a gated neighborhood of richlandia, he's in less danger than a cop working around the slums.

Unfortunately, no. I'm just an internet autist.

And aside from driving the other thing making being a cop dangerous is that all cops own guns, so they succeed at suicide attempts way more than people in other professions.

A Massachusetts-based nonprofit that tracks police suicides says at least 228 officers died by suicide in 2019, the highest number the organization has reported yet.

The 2019 number is again higher than all other line-of-duty deaths combined, a release from Blue H.E.L.P. says.

A cop is more likely to kill himself than die on the job.

Imagine being a police officer having to risk your life daily dealing with dregs of society on a daily basis for mediocre pay only to have some rich white kid larping as a revolutionary call you a Nazi.

Cops make 130k here, lol.

[Boyiee]

100% workers comp when injured.

15-20 vacation days a year that carry over to the next year with no cap.

15 sick days a year that carry over.

Able to cash out their unused sick and vacation time for huge checks of 50k+ at retirement.

Crazy overtime for road jobs and PR events.

Take home vehicles.

Retire after 25 years with a pension that is the average of the last 3 years of employment + health benefits for life.

Able to take another police job after retiring allowing them to double dip on the pension and benefits while continuing to work.

Yeah cops have it pretty bad.

[Zealot]

It depends, I have a friend in Hawaii whose precinct mandates that you don't turn your engine off after taking out a shift vehicle because they're in such bad shape there's a real chance they won't start again.

Cops in New England have it really good, probably better then anywhere else in the US

I know in MA the overtime for construction jobs and stuff is a crazy racket that makes those dudes mad fucking bank

[Botosi]

Suffolk county on Long Island; I believe they’re the highest paid cops in the US. Meanwhile the areas pretty gorgeous for the most part and not much going.

[Tymon]

Ironic that the highest paid cops are likely the ones with the least to do. A mirror of society.

My dad did 33 years of law enforcement. In ten years of retail I've had Karen's and Chad's put me, coworkers and other customers in more harm then he experienced his entire career.

Hell, I've been electrocuted twice while working in retail, one while plugging in water fountain displays, another while cleaning the conveyor belts for the checkout lines because our boss was too cheap to use disinfectant wipes and wanted us to use good old soap and water. Near electrical devices. Old, not fully sealed, electrical devices. Yeah.

Thank the gods I seem to have a naturally high thunder resistance.

It's true, the suburbs of Jersey the police are paid incredibly well. It's a quick route to 100k+ and they have by far the best retirement/pension/benefits set up of pretty much any career.

[Boyiee]

Also the other entities and civil servants on the same dangerous scenes with them aren't paid even half and typically have little to no benefits or pension to speak of.

just one year (2018 had 3/55 deaths related to traffic)

Look man if you hate your job try something else. In America only thing holding you down is yourself.

[arus2001]

Pretty much every retail/low wage worker can tell similar stupid stories related to idiot bosses, bad customers, and corporate negligence. Escaping it isn't as simple as willing it no matter how much you try to gussy up the bootstrapping.

I take it you're a billionaire playboy in such case?
