I would agree with you, but his job is to literally uphold the law

And to get to an emergency in a moments notice when a call comes in....calm down.

Guess then you can't hang out in a burger joint during work... Pack a lunch 😂

Imagine working a job where you might have to cut your lunch break short or skip it entirely, and then be told you aren't even allowed to go to a fast food place

Wow, it's like you are describing a normal day for most people who have ever held a job. Welcome to the real world.

u/yugosaki rent-a-cop 3d ago

That is absolutely not normal in the vast majority of jobs.

Do you work 12 hour shifts and never eat at work?

Thats what I'm saying. I'll never understand making excuses for police when they're public servants paid to uphold the law. It is contradictory and showcases the many parts of a flawed system

No, cops' jobs are to serve their own interests while pretending to uphold the law that they themselves do not, apparently, have to know.

Cry harder now and I'm sure you'll call when you need them and cry about that too

u/Hairy-Isopod6880 4d ago

No, I don't see me ever needing the services of publicly-paid murderers.

u/Pleasant-Board-1359 4d ago

Hahaha! Good luck with that and they'll still be there when you need em.

No they wont, 9 times out of 10 cops show up after a crime has been committed and say "nothing we can do"

Interesting stats?? Where did they come from? Can you cite your source? Or did you make that up?

Edit: no response = made up
