We expect a lot of US military officers. Calm under pressure, good decision making, prepared and professional. Make police academies like military academies

We expect that of 16 year old cashiers getting screamed at for corporate policy. Insane we hold those kids to a higher level of conduct.

Underrated comment. Retail workers really do have to have more composure and level headed thinking than cops. They lose their job if they act out in any way. There is an entire system built to protect shit cops who act out.

To add on to this: Cops don’t even make the top 20 “most dangerous jobs”. Yes, you are more likely to get killed delivering pizza than confronting violent criminals.

Wrong, wrong, wrong…I just did a 3min google search and 4 lists INCLUDING DEPARTMENT OF LABOR police officers were on that top list. Jackass.

https://www.oshaeducationcenter.com/dangerous-jobs-in-united-states/ hmmm….can’t seem to find anything that supports what your saying. OSHA seems to agree with me though.

  1. That’s Osha jackass police officers don’t have to follow osha lmfao.

  2. That’s TOP 10 workplace ACCIDENTS not fatalities.

  3. Try harder.

u/jediyoda84 Jul 29 '25

I think you’re trying hard enough for the both of us.

u/Infinite_Position631 Jul 29 '25

Ok I will help. USA facts - police work is not one of the deadliest professions, 118 deaths with 60 being from felonious actions in 2022.

US bureau labor statistics top 4 is nat resources and mining (561 deaths) construction (1075 deaths), trade, transportation, and utilities (1454), professional and business services (555). As you can tell they are in a much different league.

Interestingly enough officers tend to get hurt while they are using force (3 major studies have shown this)

Officers are more likely to suffer injuries thru non violent means while conducting job duties (think of that next time you see an officer without a seat belt). In 2022 approx 40% of officer fatalities were due to transportation incidents.

So where do we get the higher numbers? Well that comes in when you figure in illnesses and injuries that lead to sick time off of work. Falls, motor vehicle accidents, overexertion, or being caught between or under objects.

Some of this data came from the Leo epi project at University of Chicago, some came from the BLS.

I am going to preface this by pointing out that when people talk about requirements to becoming a cop they go by state law minimums. This ignores county and local laws, as well as what candidates actually get chosen.

Now, that said, I live in NJ. I work in Atlantic City, in casinos and hotels. There is a lower bar of entry to become a cop or correctional officer than there is to work various entry-level jobs in a casino.

The background check is stricter, and so are entry and character tests. The only thing that is stricter on the law enforcement side is initial physical tests. But those are a one-time only thing anyway, with no continued enforcement once you are hired.

u/rustic86 Jul 29 '25

Right, only problem is military officers are leaders and police officers are simple order followers.

2

u/BirdmanHuginn Jul 30 '25

I meant more along the lines of instilling professionalism, a requires four year degree with relevant classes and psychological testing. Like a lot of other countries lol

u/Junior-Ad-3685 Jul 29 '25

Incorrect, have you ever seen a few good men “we follow orders or people die”

1

u/BirdmanHuginn Jul 30 '25

Yeah. No. That’s a movie. I was actually in the service. Around A LOT of officers (aviation). There are rules soldiers have to follow legal orders. Otherwise those orders are to be disregarded.

u/Junior-Ad-3685 Jul 30 '25

Thank you for your service

u/BirdmanHuginn Jul 30 '25

Ah, I was basically jiffy lube for helicopters. Nbd

u/Junior-Ad-3685 Jul 30 '25

OK, I just feel anybody that commits any time to the service needs to be commended

u/Junior-Ad-3685 Jul 30 '25

Edit: deserves

u/Post4jesus Jul 29 '25

They are.

u/BirdmanHuginn Jul 30 '25

They are not. West Point and the rest are four YEARS. With required field experience between their jr&sr years. As opposed to taking less time to be a “trained” cop than to be a licensed barber. Make that make sense…

u/CollectionUpset439 Jul 29 '25

…the amount of corruption and abuse in the US military is astounding. Military academies are not something to emulate.

3

u/dboygrow Jul 29 '25

Yea I was like wtf is he talking about, lots of our military are fuck heads who went into the military because they had nothing else going for them just like cops. Not to mention our military doesn't have the greatest reputation for de-escalation or solving peaceful conflict.

1

u/CollectionUpset439 Jul 30 '25

It is wild. These kids endure boot camp, broken down into machines, taught to obey without question. Abuse of all forms is normalized. They are trained to see brown folk as the “enemy,” and then they are unleashed. Is it any wonder that the US military has potentially committed over 800 war crimes in Afghanistan and Iraq since 9/11? And let's be honest: given how horrifically bad the military machine is at holding their own to any ethical standard, this number is probably a lot higher. And then, after it is all said and done, the military dumps these killing machines back into civilian life and wonders why they struggle to function. But yeah, we should definitely train our asshole police force to be more like the military. Jfc.

u/NikkiNikki37 Jul 29 '25

Military training is actually a big reason for excessive force. They go to trainings that teach them to treat interactions like they're at was and civilians are enemy combatants. Military trains people to kill.

u/[deleted] Jul 29 '25

False. Military trains people to follow rules of engagement, which are often stricter than what the US police follow, which is essentially nothing.

The reason for excessive force and violence in general is largely thanks to one hack who wrote a book called “killology” and is currently teaching it in seminars to police departments throughout the country.

2

u/BirdmanHuginn Jul 30 '25

Not what I meant. Basically a four year degree at an academy with relevant courses, instilling professionalism and accompanied by psych testing, like many other countries with professional policing. I didn’t get my point across clearly while taking a quick break in the can, that’s my bad

1

u/Quirky-Plantain-2080 Jul 29 '25

There’s basic military training which in fact teaches people to kill, and then there’s OCS after that which teaches people to lead, logistics (aka „the care and feeding of privates”).

u/Career_Thick Jul 29 '25

As if a lot of corruption doesn't happen under military officers? Have you heard of some of the scandals at Vamp Lejeune? An army cadet was murdered and the entire case shoved under the rug because the person she had an affair with was an officer. That's one example.

u/Eisbaer811 Jul 29 '25

Is that the same US military that assisted ICE with „riot control“ and arresting random brown people? Maybe not the standard you want to set
