i don’t see the guy biting the medal and shooting champaign everywhere in the meme saying he got first place. and yet he is acting like he has special privilege. police are given unholy latitude for wanton murder based on their perceived danger, and not their actual danger. literally used as a defense against even just indictment for murder. Nurses don’t get special murder privileges. and the only reason they are even that high is because of their own stupidity regarding road safety. though no one claimed they were very bright either

    You're moving the goal posts to a new, pedantic position, but fair enough:

    Who's the woman in the meme declaring it's the most dangerous job? I see you struggle with basic English so maybe you missed the "MOST DANGEROUS JOB(S)" on the top and bottom.

    Nurses don’t get special murder privileges.

    Nurses act under the authority of doctors, who do get special murder privileges. Medical malpractice is the third leading cause of death in the United States, killing around 250,000 people per year, according to a Johns Hopkins study.

    But before you say "any time doctors kill someone it's by mistake, but any time cops kill someone it's murder," I hope you chew on that bias for a minute, and then I hope you discover that medical malpractice deaths follow the same racial bias trends that law enforcement killings do.

    In other words: Yes, they do get special privileges to murder people.

    an embarrassing deflection.

    first, your comparison with doctors is a false equivalency, and includes everything from medication defects, and insurance related posturing. second doctors face exorbitantly high malpractice suits. and yet still face jail for negligent murder. police do not with out riots and world wide protests. no other profession gets the protection of specialized legal doctrines and unions who organize the blue flu.

    you then declare that because the medical system has a racial bias that police get to have special murder privilege. and yet forgot to tie that privilege to a need, so doctors get to murder minorities, so police should get to as well! OPPS!

    … enforcement by necessity get a monopoly on violence, except it’s abundantly clear that the police can not be trusted with that power, ESPECIALLY with out actual oversite. with great power comes great responsibility, not a shield from it.

    Your entire comment is very clearly bad faith and poorly-written.

    The vast majority of it is a straw man and you would get an F if it was a 1st grade English writing test, indicating either that you struggle with basic (English) writing or you just can't be bothered to devote effort to this topic.

    I don't think I need to waste anyone's time further by responding to it.
