Reply #27: Really? Have you ever done any farming?

[ThomCat]

Have you ever done any roofing?

Have you ever done any mining or extraction work to know how hard it is?

How about commercial fishing?

How would you know that these aren't as hard?

I do know from talking to more than one cop I've known personally that a large part of their job is really just waiting, and very incredibly boring. It is only dangerous for very short periods of time, very rarely, and all of their regulations are designs to make sure they are not the ones facing that danger. If someone is dangerous, and they know it, they don't approach, they don't confront, and they have remote and long distance ways of dealing with that hostile person or situation.

Any hostility gives them permission to use greater force too, so the moment they see any hostility, they can take someone down in order to make sure they stay safe. Nobody in any other job can eliminate the risks that way.

I don't think you know what you're talking about.
