I don't buy that "they put their lives on the line" BS either. When is the last time anyone heard of a cop being the victim of a crime? Real people are the victim of many, many more crimes than the police. Cops are also the ONLY citizens permitted to carry a weapon of their choice nationwide. The ordinary people are left defenseless, without immunity and without a paid legal defense. Does anyone really think the cop is more at danger in a neighborhhod like Compton or Watts than the ordinary person? Last I looked, many more regular people were victims of crimes than cops in these areas.

pbs911, please go on a ride along with me in South Central LA. As long as you are not a convicted felon and have no outstanding warrants, I can make it happen. You will see first hand what it is like. I see that you are moving soon, it would be my good bye present to you. I am not being sarcastic in any way, I am sincere in my invitation. Last week, we had one of our own shot and killed. Last week, three of my cops were injured trying to arrest a guy high on PCP. I have been shot at, stabbed, involved in too many fights to count. Have you?
I am not going to say that it is dangerous at all. In fact, it may be safer than whatever your occupation is. Come on out and see. PM me with your info and I'll arrange everything. Several guys from the BBS have come out with me.
I guarantee a good time, David
