Or, as often happens, they're dead. I don't envy members of a profession that have to get every life-and-death decision right in real time on a daily basis.
- rootusrootus 6y agoThat's a fair point, although statistically the job of police officer doesn't crack the top 10 in most dangerous careers.
- downerending 6y agoSimilarly, a vanishingly small proportion of citizens (as opposed to bad guys) have a life-altering bad experience with the police. It'd be interesting to see real numbers, but I suspect officers on the beat get the short end of that stick.
