Both sides? Being a prosecutor and a defense attorney is hardly grounds to say you know what Law Enforcement Officers face everyday...lol You go ahead sit inside the courthouse and sip your pumpkin spice latte and let murderers out on home incarceration. Unless you have ever had to wrestle with a full grown man on the ground for almost 10 minutes just to arrest him for nearly killing his wife (broken orbital and jaw bone) at 3am by yourself then you have no argument.
In no way am I saying trade freedom for security. I served in the military to guard the freedoms we have here in the U.S. As for your statistical analogies, where are the statistics? You just spouted off what you have heard in the leftest news reports. Police work is dangerous, that is a proven fact! How many cabbies and dentists have been killed this year along compared to LEOs. I'm not saying others jobs are not dangerous, but police inherently go to work with targets
on their backs. It is the nature of the beast. In my 10 years as an Officer have have been shot at twice and ran over once. I know your kind though, you'd pay good money to watch people kill police on live TV just to get your rocks off and scream down with our oppressors. Just next time you need assistance because of someone shooting at you, trying to rob you, or breaking into your house, please feel free to call a criminal and see if they will help you
