What is awful about the job? I’ve never done it so I don’t know. But it seems like they cannot be fired, even if they mess up so badly that someone dies. That doesn’t sound so bad to me.
Okay but what I’m in a toxic situation at work I can’t shoot someone and get away without consequences lol.
When police show up to a scene, ordinary citizens have no power over them whatsoever. The police have the upper hand, every single time. Whereas if I get into an argument with a co-worker, client, or shopper I could be fired.
The reason workplaces are toxic are because employees are powerless. Police can literally murder people anytime they want and get away with it.
And the entire industry of manufacturing spit hoods, and furnishing prisons with things they won’t stab each other with, and various other grim things. And common knowledge. And those shitty live cop shows that used to be on. And common sense.
It’s also not the first such thing I’ve personally seen, and probably won’t be the last. You see, only the rich can really avoid it.
My general rule for cops is to keep my head down. They have no particular reason to bother me, but they’re also a certain kind of person.

They deal confrontationally with the worst people available at their worst moments, and do it all day.
Like, think of the most toxic interaction you’ve ever had. Now consider doing it multiple times a week.

Sure, and if you’re the sort of person that needs everything to be sorted into neat black or white bins, maybe that’s relevant.
The fact that getting screamed at and spit on is unpleasant remains, though.
Police officers aren’t regularly screamed at or spit on. Where are you getting your information from? Are you just making it up?
Yes, they are. You think whatever asshole doing a domestic is above it? They manufacture spit hoods because that’s a regular issue.
I literally witnessed an arrest like this myself within the past month or so.
So your evidence is… a single witness event? And you think that means it happens with regularity? I’m sorry but something isn’t adding up. : /
