You guys do know that gun rights have nothing to do with the gun violence seen in cities like Chicago right? Or do you think the guns these gangbangers are using are all legal?

this whole system we have now, where police have mortgages, cheating lovers, kids, and other civilian problems.. this just isnt cutting it. cops are in debt just as much as everyone else, and they are taking shortcuts because of their stresses.

the only difference is that when a cop takes shortcuts its called being a dirty cop, i.e. police corruption.
A lot of what you said is already true. Many police jobs are already incredibly cushy, with very generous pensions and pay that is not linked to performance. There's also a lot of abuse of their overtime hour system. All this, and in most places they don't even face half the risk that soldiers do. But no politician wants to take on any of these things because of the police and firefighter unions and public perception. Just look at Detroit, most public workers, except for cops, will be forced to take huge pension cuts because of the bankruptcy. I live in an area where crime is also non-existent, and do you know how much the cops are making?

Honestly the problems you describe affect soldiers themselves much more than they do police officers. Police officers rarely get PTSD or have limbs blown off.

I don't fear the police. But then again, I am not a gorilla, taught to hate and disrespect the police.

Maybe you can go from school to school and tell dumb ******s everywhere that throwing a punch at a police officer or someone with a loaded fire arm may result in a trip to the morgue.
