Police vs Zombie

Put those jack boots to work!!!

Pretty sure I could let the air out the guy for a minute or two.

Steve, driving a truck or being a roofer is statistically more dangerous than being a cop. Stop drinking the Kool Aid.

lmao, almost did the same damn thing when I read that article earlier today and didn't feel like bothering. Nice.

So you're saying you wouldn't go hands on? 03trublugt says you're a coward. He has experience, so anyone else's opinion is null and void or "sucks."

Here's another point.


A small officer or female officer could be fully justified in skipping the use of force continuum and going to deadly force.

Do you think this is justified?



The officer got in a shit-ton of trouble because he didn't use the minimum amount of force to accomplish the goal.

In the zombie situation, someone like you could get away with it because you are lanky and weak.

I, on the other hand, would be in serious trouble because I resorted to deadly force first.

You just can't grasp the concept, can you?

Just because there are other dangerous jobs out there, doesn't mean an officers job is less dangerous. A measely $70k a year is not enough money to risk your life on a daily basis.

I'm not talking about 20 other situations, I'm talking about the one this thread is about.

There are plenty of cops making much more than 70k a year. Isn't that right, Matt?

But you drove a truck ... no?

Yes, at one point I did. I would much rather take my chances on the road rather than dealing with the less than stellar citizens our society has to offer on a daily basis. Getting shot at or sticking my hands in drug addicts pockets who carry dirty needles are not things on my to do list. So to say a truck drivers job is more dangerous is a bit of a stretch in my opinion.

Fair enough.

They aren't in any real major risk...that's the whole point. 70K is more than enough for what they do.

The nerd in me wants to post a graph with $$ on the y-axis and fatalities on the x-axis and these jobs plotted over it.

How you can say there is no major risk in being a police officer? Please explain.

Statistics explain this you dumbass...are you really not seeing that? Everyone is subject to risks...and cops have a whole slew of tools to mitigate this. Seriously...how are you missing this?
