Message: <blockquote data-quote="Bigdawg90" data-source="post: 4108700" data-attributes="member: 49831">People need to stop saying the whole “their job is so hard” line.  I hear it all the time in briefing and it drives me nuts.  When I was in construction if I screwed up, did I get to say, whoops well my job is real hard……no way.I’m given a gun and badge to protect people’s rights.  That means I should be held to an insanely high standard.  Every cop’s life should reflect that.  From getting sleep, to not drinking, eating right, training hard, but it doesn’t. The discussion started here with should people comply with a request for ID simply because a cop asks for it.  NO.The police are government agents while on duty.  Their #1 priority is not “get home alive” or “do my best.”  We swear an oath to fight, defend and if necessary die for every Americans rights. Stop watering down the importance of that by saying, “cops are humans too” or “they have a hard job.”  They’re expected to be the best decision makers.  Hence the reason their given a gun, badge and authority.The expectation is high. The stakes are high.  Every shift, every call, every fight is important.  They should know that the eyes of every citizen is on them or they shouldn’t be carrying a gun and given the authority to strip you of your rights.  Stop acting like conservatives should support the Police no matter what.  I support the good ones.  That’s it.</blockquote>
