In watching COPS many times over, that's the last job I would ever want. Not only do they have to deal with the 'low-life's' of society, but the hatred from those who
literally hate them - EXCEPT - when there comes a time to need their assistance! I don't know how much a cop makes, but the danger they face day to day, makes me appreciate them even more. I watched this woman cop (which I'm against women being on the force unless its desk duty cause they're not physically capable of handling men) but when she stopped this guy to arrest him, he backhanded her to the ground and literally beat her to death, breaking her jaw among other things thus knocking her out cold -- he was out on parole. A woman is no match for a man in these circumstances. They couldnt pay me enough to become one!
