Where do you get the idea that pilot is the 3rd most dangerous job? How often do you hear about pilots dying? And more dangerous than driving jobs? Lol no.

Although cops are becoming more and more power drunk it doesn't mean their job isn't dangerous, especially in countries* where every nutcase can get a semi-auto easily.

*USA, war torn countries , Latin America.

Idk man.

I've been privileged enough to live in mostly good neighborhoods throughout my life and especially in smaller towns those police do good, often difficult work. Bringing home some town drunk who's acting difficult with access to a gun for example without it becoming an escalated scene IMO is a feat I could not do.

I just wish that in the more dangerous areas and areas where we are having trouble with police brutality for example, we could have offers to police with good standing to be relocated and compensated to help move out the bad police.

So for example if we're having issues with police brutality in Portland OR, fire those police, then pay to relocate police with high standing clean records from diverse areas to move to these areas.

The things I see in California sometimes I'm not sure that there's an amount of money you could pay me to deal with half these things.

Of all the panels to omit, removing the groping one is just weird. Especially considering the subject is, you know, cops.
