Who'd wanta be a Cop?

[echnidna]

In the last few days cops have been attacked with a chainsaw and an axe.

The axeman got shot and died. Now I suppose the Cops that were involved might get hauled over the coals.

In demonstrations they are often targets for the loonies.

Its a pretty thankless job

Thank you to all the Cops that do societies dirty work

Especially as we ask them not only to be brave on our behalf but also to be incorruptible - if you want someone not to take a bribe, or a second job, pay him enough...

My brother is a cop. He was told years ago to transfer his home into his wife's name in case some feral unwashed hippie left wing loon sued him for doing his job and protecting other peoples property.

What is the world coming to ?

I am a police officer and yes the job can be tough, yes we do deal with some fair idiots that threaten us and those we love. But having said that there are alot of rewarding parts of the job. You do how ever take precautions about keeping those you love safe as ya never know when someone will target you and your own.

Every day you are presented with the same jobs but they are always different in there approach and out comes. sometimes you find it quite a challenge both mentally and physically. There are times when you think why me and others when ya cant wait to sink ya teeth into the next job.

While the police force as an organisation can be sued, individual officers cannot. They have immunity for anything done on the job.
It's also very difficult to sue the Police Force.

That's not actually a true statement. Have you heard abot the Palm Island affair in QLD?

That copper has been charged with manslaughter.

And no, I'm not making any judgements, that's what courts are for, merely pointing out that coppers can be, and are, held responsible for their actions on the job.

Having said that, I think that i's a pretty thankless job. I'm glad that there are people of integrity who are prepared to do it.
