JL choose to be a cop, no one forced him. If the "danger" is so bad he should get out. But cops aren't anywhere near the top of dangerous jobs list. In fact some cops go their whole career and never even draw their weapon, much less use it. I agree that they probably aren't much of a cop, but still it is done.Dave_pro2a wrote:Johnny Law wrote:Maybe you wouldlike to share the great contribution that your job makes to our society on a daily basis.

Wow, I missed that comment.
So Johnny, you obviously REALLY think you're special -- not some peon who works a 'worthless' job that doesn't involve saving lives.
A peon, who by definition doesn't even really deserve to have a voice in this great debate, since they work a worthless job that doesn't involve saving lives, and stuff.
That was uncalled for. JL has a very dangerous profession, and I doubt he's doing it for the pay, since just meeting the qualifications to become a police officer pretty much guarantees that he could have had a higher paying job. I don't think that the police force is as much of a helpful entity as they were, say, 20 years ago, but to say that his job is "worthless" is just plain ignorant. I have lost almost all faith in law enforcement officers and at this time have lower expectations of them than I do of the lady at Taco Bell that always screws up my order, but I wouldn't think to go as far as calling them useless.
EDIT: I may have misinterpreted what you were saying. re-reading it, I believe that you weren't saying that his job was useless, but that he thought all of our jobs were useless. I don't know, it kind of reads both ways, but I think I misinterpreted it.
