To be fair, the IDF is dealing with neighbors that wants to murder them down to the last man, woman, and child. Their methods make some kind of sense in that context.

Why US PDs train with them is baffling. It's like elementary school hall monitors taking tips from "Taken" on how to ensure Little Timmy doesnt get kidnapped on his way to the loo.

Are you aware that people who use the term 'boot licker' are in the lowest demographics of society?

There are IQ requirements that they have to go under to pass as a cop. https://www.globalresearch.ca/us-court-ruled-you-can-be-too-smart-to-be-a-cop/5420630

Pretty much the slow kid from school, still mad at the world for getting bullied over shitting himself and they give him a badge, a gun and a crew of similar misfits. All these cops do crazy shit news stories aren't mistakes, it's designed by (((guess who))) to be like that.

Your LEO buddy did CPR on a baby for 35 minutes without EMS taking over? I find it hard to believe that the fire department didn’t arrive on scene and facilitate transfer of care to Fire/EMS for 35 minutes on a Pediatric Cardiac Arrest, especially when there are regulations that dictate FD/EMS response times ESPECIALLY on emergent calls. I’m sorry but that story is fishy as fuck.

They have the same phone number

Meanwhile in Europe..

citing statistics? in LA I hear about fire fighters dying more than cops. Hell i hear about everyone dying more than cops.

Any discussion about line of duty deaths should be secondary to suicide. Law enforcement, Fire and EMS lose more people to suicide than line of duty deaths every year.

About three and a half times, not five, but you're on the right track and not too far off. But that's by straight death numbers, not percentages.

It looks a little more dangerous for cops if you look at it by rate. The number is the rate of occupational injury by full time equivalent worker (total injury divided by total hours worked by the class of employee, all times a presumed number of full time hours for 100,000 employees), so think of it as a factor of how likely any employee in that field is likely to die per hour they work. All numbers are from 2017, and include only civilian occupations, not military.

Cops have a rate of 12.9, while "management occupations" is 1.1. Which means we have a lot more cops than managers. I think there is something to get out of that. Looking at a subset of "managment occupations", "Farmers, ranchers, and other agricultural managers", the rate 24.0. So you're twice as likely to die per hour of running a farm or ranch than as a cop.

But wait, there's more. "First-line supervisors of landscaping, lawn service, and groundskeeping workers" is 21.0, and "Grounds maintenance workers" is 15. So Juan and Pedro mowing your yard are more likely to die at work than a cop. "Taxi drivers and chauffeurs" are comparable to cops, at 10.4. "Driver/sales workers and truck drivers" are 26.8, "Refuse and recyclable material collectors" 35.0 (your garbage man is three times as likely to die at work as a cop), "Aircraft pilots and flight engineers" 48.6, "roofers" 45.2, "Logging workers" 84.3, "Fishers and related fishing workers" mother fucking 99.8...

Let me just make a table, that should help. Do note the high margin of error on the first two categories, but it doesn't change this conclusion. Basically, cops are twentieth on the list.

Note that you should see the sourced spreadsheet to understand the categories. Some are nested, but the presentation of categories is not straightforward. For example, "Aircraft pilots and flight engineers" is a subset of "Transportation and material moving occupations", but not all other subsets are listed in the source table.

Is that per capita or overall?

You forgot stupid.

They are braver in 5 minutes of their shift than you will ever be in your entire lifetime.

"AM I BEING DETAINED? WHAT IS YOUR PROBABLE CAUSE?!? I DO NOT CONSENT!!!"

No, OP is just a faggot making a strawman. No one compares or complains about FD vs PD.

The criticism of PD is fair in some cases however I'd wager there's far more officers that don't do that bullshit than do, but every time that shit happens it gets blown up on the media. Most notable recently was that kid in athletic shorts playing Simon says with the cop with a rifle and got blasted while crawling to him. On a much lesser note I get pissed at the cops shooting dogs too. There was the nog cop who shot a little yelpie dog in a family home with kids inside. Shrapnel hit a girls eye. It's a little dog you bitch, just kick it.

Yeah, FD will look at things and make sure there's a reasonable chance of survival before rushing in.
