Oh shit lawl. Well We'll have some trillys up in here soon. I'm ok with it.

They should make it out of some rare hard to manufacture artificially created isotopic molecular crystal tho. With like atomic engraving on it. Do like a really cool gpu wafer.

For example: I remember seeing a video that I can’t find now, of an officer’s dash cam as he pulled over a white guy for drunk driving

Cop walks up, standing in front of the truck window talking to the guy, asks him how much he’s had to drink tonight

“Plenty” is his response

Then in less than 2 seconds, a revolver is leveled out the window at the cop’s face and the trigger is pulled. But the gun jams, or else the drunk perp forgot that chamber was empty. Regardless the cop is saved by grace and returns fire as the man speeds off, killing him

Not only does that situation factor into why most of America would never be a cop, but also why cops are so paranoid because they understand just how fast they can die

Also, btw that man was included in news’ cherry picked statistics of the “thousands of people killed by cops” (the number shrinks down 1000% when it gets trimmed to “un-lawfully killed by cops aka not self defense”)

I’ve had a few close calls in my job. I’m going into some of the poorest ghettos in my state

And for some reason some people see a person in business casual clothes, a name badge, and a chart and think they’re caseworkers there to take someone’s kid. And then you can’t explain WHY you are there because it’s HIPAA. So I been chased (like jogging) out of an apartment complex by a few furious intoxicated people. Just one example

Still consider myself a coward when compared to a cop. But maybe my standards are just weird

Things happen to cops and I respect that they have to be careful when they interact with me and others.

But the tone about how they are in such mortal danger all the time has contributed to a whole lot of unnecessary force.

What can also influence the perception of safety is the nature of the past deaths

I haven’t looked into how all these other occupational deaths occur, but I’m guessing a good chunk might be due to personal error due to things like OHSA safety regulations

Only thinking of myself here, I am more frightened by a job where no matter how careful I am and following the safety guidelines, a revolver can be leveled at my face in 2 seconds and it’s lights out

Now again, if all these other occupational deaths are similar in nature then I’d be more worried about those

I used to work in a hotel. I had more guns pointed at me than the average cop in my town ever did. I also used to work as a taxi driver prior to that. Once I held someone's hand against the inside of the car roof so their gun wouldn't be pointed in my head as I frantically floored it in reverse. I was thinking I was going to wind up with a free gun but no, he pulled it out as he fell.

All the officer deaths I’m seeing due to covid were deaths before a covid vaccine existed

Not sure if you were making a statement that the died because they weren’t vaxx’ed

Ya in regards to putting yourself out there in 2020 to catch covid, I worked 40 hours/week every week straight through 2020 (other than the 2 weeks I was out with COVID) going into people’s homes, going into hospitals, etc. No vaxx existed back then

I got the vaxx now, but this is how it sometimes feels to be a healthcare worker who was un-vaxxed, depending on the year

I don't know if they were vaccinated. Probably not, it is Texas.

Ya well that is the point. You were as brave as a cop in retrospect.

Elon Musk seemed to have brought his aspergers with him to dumb fuck texas - so I bet those numbers will rise in favor of Boss bois everywhere needing front line workers to maintain their mushroom dick sucking vacations to islands with soft lips.
