It seems like this response uses the word job as a justification, but I'm not particularly convinced. I can hire a hitman and that has no bearing on what they're doing is ethical. Conversely, people do nice things for each other outside of jobs all the time. It seem to me that making something a job has no relevancy at all in this discussion. There are a million ways to argue for cops, but repeating that it's a job ain't one of them.
- 45rufhri4i 4y agoIt actually is if you don't ignore the context of the job while comparing it with something of false equivalence. Police work for the government and by extension the citizenry to enforce laws the citizenry passed. Is there a reason you feel laws against things like theft and murder are immoral or reasons why you feel sometimes victims of these crimes shouldn't be supported by law enforcement agencies? Because when you refer to police doing their job as an attack vector you're referring to them enforcing laws that society decided were important and so I think the onus is on you to explain which laws you feel are immoral or which victims are undeserving of justice and why.
