“So instead of whining about the purported “risks” of your job be thankful for what it gives you. The rest of us don’t get to enjoy the privileges you do.”
I respectfully acknowledge the validity of your point about the advantages that cops enjoy, but I think it’s only fair to consider the risks that they must (unlike the general public) endure on a routine basis. For example, cops must frequently deal with domestic disputes, which can be very unpredictable, and can quickly get very ugly and dangerous. Near where I live, we recently saw this in Lancaster Texas, where, last month, David Brown Jr. (who happened to be the son of the Dallas Police Chief), fatally shot one bystander, then fatally shot an officer arriving at the scene. The officer had all of the advantages you listed, but this wasn’t enough to save him. Fortunately, other officers shot the suspect to death before he was able to kill anyone else.
“Fortunately, other officers shot the suspect to death before he was able to kill anyone else.”
Careful. There are folks around here that would take issue with your use of the word “Fortunately.”
