Statistically, it really isn't a dangerous job. It's more dangerous to be a truck driver.

That maybe so, just stating how I feel.

I'm stating what it actually is.

Chicago cops start at 55k with o.t. it's in the 80s in Rookie year. I know some guys making 125 k yearly ... Pension is real sweet ... I know lotta guys pulling in 60k a year and when they die the wife gets half if that yearly until her death...lotta cops already pulled in over a million in pension alone ...they are going to be around another 10-15 years.

Wow look at how great they have it!!!

The victims are the American People and the Republic itself.

Don't be naive, make the paper? Lol this was in the 80' . When I was a kid ...I could tell you far more shocking things ..ask regular reader about 2 gun Pete.

Yes it is.

When this is all over, which is not going to be for a while, Trump will be re-elected President.

Another perk is that they can do whatever they want up to and including murder and have people arguing on their behalf and calling them heroes

I would agree truck driving is probably more dangerous then being a cop in Mokena.

The worst that can happen to you is pulling over a pantsless Terry Boers.

I'll drive a truck any day of the week before being a cop in the inner city.

Don't forget the unlimited Dunkin Donuts too

if that were true, I might actually do it.

I think I may have mentioned this to you, but differing perspectives are funny. I don't fear most parts of the city (Norwood Pk & Mt. Greenwood excepted) and would likely have no problem with being a cop here, but working in many suburbs puts me on an almost immediate edge.

Laurence Holmes is a fucking weirdo, a nerd in denial, and a wannabe. Not a very good radio host either.

I first heard about 2 Gun Pete (Sylvester Washington) from my dad & his friends over twenty years ago. At that time my (now) 94 yr. old grandfather then started laughing and started telling 2 Gun stories.

I just mentioned this to my dad, who started laughing, I guess as the defense mechanism some of us employ.

I still have a CDL.

50 police officers last year were killed by guns.
49 were killed by traffic accidents.

Still though, it doesn't change the fact that many other jobs are more dangerous.

And all of that is before you get to the stress that cops deal with on a daily basis.

Agreed. But they are dangerous for different reasons.

The iron worker isn't being targeted for injury. The truck driver isn't either.
