Comment on Is it wrong of me not giving a shit when cops get killed? They signed up for the job know what it entails. Same with Firepeople. I feel bad 4 families but no one gives a shit about Nurses or DRs?

I’d largely say no. As others have said in this thread yes other jobs also have high risk rates but I believe those are all false equivalencies. Cops have a level of power in their profession that is unlike any other job. Every one of them knows exactly what they are getting into and they agree to put your life on the line for the law. If you want to play enforcer then you get to deal with the consequences of that role. On a human level I feel empathy towards any death, I’m not a monster, but no I don’t feel any worse for them in contrast to the loss of life in any other first line job.
