No wonder police are paranoid...

It would be stressful, everyday you perform routine tasks(like pulling over a vehicle), and it might be your death.

2019

Circumstances. Of the 48 officers feloniously killed:

15 died as a result of investigative or law enforcement activities:
6 were conducting traffic violation stops
4 were performing investigative activities
2 were drug-related matters
2 were interacting with wanted persons
1 was investigating suspicious person or circumstance

FBI

It wasn’t a joke to those 6 families

Definitely a job that doesn't pay what your life may be worth

I saw a compilation video once of several cops that had been shot/killed while on duty. It was very disturbing. Not sure if it's still on YouTube or not.

You would be paranoid too if half the country was pushing propaganda to support killing you

shreveport cant figure out why they are short on cops.

one of the deadliest cities and the starting pay is around 30K a year

And No One Stopped to help the officer

This is why I love to see stories like this:

Washington teens given medal for helping an officer under attack from DUI suspect

AUBURN, Wash. – The King County Sheriff’s Office is honoring five young men after coming to the rescue of one of its deputies.
The teenagers were each given the Medal of Heroism Award by King County Sheriff Mitzi Johanknect for their actions that quite possibly saved the life of a deputy.

It would be a very stressful job, and we are sending unprepared people out to deal with the public.

"Get on the ground...get on the ground...get on the ground."

Well, the mother fricker is on the ground. Yet, with the adrenaline running, this officer doesn't realize that his commands don't make sense to a guy that is already on the ground.

THIS IS WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN

The federal government needs to eat a large portion of the costs of training our officers via the military. They could increase the amount of training, which would translate to public policing, in the military. Then, our departments across the country could give preference to these people that were already partially trained by the military. That way, our political subdivisions do not have to bear the entire cost of adequately training their officers. Because, if I'm a local leo agency, with a thinly stretched budget, I'd choose to add another officer before I'd spend more money on training.

It's amazing how polite police are when they are addressed with respect. Yes sir/ma'am goes a very long way

It's not just concerning about getting killed. LEO deal with violent people all of the time. People with little to risk and much to gain by getting physical with LEO. If you're an LEO, there will be blood, and a lot of it will be your own.
