Im sure plenty of people including you may have stressful jobs. But, other then those serving in the military, How many people do you think have seen or dealt with their co workers being killed by the hands of another in the course of thier job.....I'm not not talking car accidents, but murdered, shot in the face point ****ing blank, shot and killed on a T-stop, shot and killed going into a backyard after burglary suspect, even shot and killed entering a house serving a warrant. I could mention numerous other instances of co-workers who were shot and not killed.

Tell me Jeff, How many funerals have you gone to under those circumstances. Seriously, I can't tell you off the top of my head how many I've attended under those circumstances...People that I know and worked with.... Mike Gagen(TED) on this board was an Air Traffic Controller, stressful job for sure, but how many of his co-workers been murdered, how many have yours? I'm not making excuses for domestic violence or misbehavior by officers, those officers should be dealt with. But I don't appreciate you or anyone else dismissing the real stress and dangers that officers deal with. Of course the ones who do this, don't do this job....

I seriously doubt, that no matter how stressful your job is or most peoples job is, that they look in the mirror everyday when they are getting dressed and ask themselves if this will be the day that someone will try to kill me......

Of course, there will be some people on this board that think I'm being dramatic, but there are quite a few who know that thats the truth.

TL;DR: if you or your co-workers run the risk of getting shot, it's cool if you want to let off some steam by triple-tapping somone in the chest.
