Hmm, I don't suppose anyone has read the tales of the Pacific Northwest lumberjacks vs the Greenpeace activists. Greenies lose their **** over some trees.

Perhaps lumberjack isn't the best example. I mean, being it usually fluctuates with fishermen as the most dangerous job in the world.

Forgot to mention you, thanks for working in the steel mills which brings me AR barrels and other assorted gun goodies.

Police officers and service men and women don't just risk their lives but they do it with a variable that a roofer, lineman, lumberjack or miner don't, which is a danger inflicted purposefully by someone who may be in a senseless state of mind, fearful of consequences to crimes they committed or malicious in nature. Lumberjacks, miners, roofers, etc. are a victim of accidents not acts of intention.

Your point is ridiculous. I don't recall a lumberjack about to head out after they get a coffee and instead they get shot in the head for being a lumberjack. You fail to understand what it's like to be a leo.

There are times when excessive force occurs and there are also millions of interactions officers have with civilians on a daily basis. Yes excessive force should be handled appropriately. But you want them all hung by the neck regardless of the situation. It's ridiculous.

Look at who's being ridiculous...

You didn't ask me, but I thank the people who clean our breakrooms at work. Just how I choose to go through life.

And I've thanked linemen--taken them coffee and dinner while they restored power after storms. Never spoken to a commercial fisherman, lumberjack or miner that I know of.

I know you have beef with cops. But not all are bad, and they choose to go in harms way for me and my family. The question you aked above is petty and really detracts from the actualy point you're trying to make.

I didn't realize I ever said all cops were bad. Link?

Your post seems more like sour grapes that you haven't been appreciated enough in your endeavors in life.

Nah, I'm cool.

But in reality, you hardly ever see anybody tell a blue collar private sector worker "thanks for your service". Its normally either a soldier or someone in law enforcement (govt enforcers). Hell, I don't think I've hardly ever heard of anyone saying that to a fireman.

Most of these other professionals have little to no control over some of their situations, but at least a cop in some instances has a chance to de-escalate a situation by doing what the officers in that knife wielding assailant video I posted last week. When a tree limb gets away from you, or you lose you grip on you spikes or come to close to energized equipment, you don't have time to de-escalate. You're usually dead or seriously injured in the blink of an eye.

Hurah for the people working dangerous jobs.


Now what's wrong with thanking cops and military for their service? You just agreed they aren't all bad. So... Why your tender spot when they get thanked?
