Do Police officers ' Put their life on the line' ?

Only a fool would think or argue otherwise. They are after all human beings like the rest of us.
The point I have been trying to make is simple and straightforward. Despite all their failings they are the first line of defense between us the public and the criminal. In an emergency we call for them and expect them to do their duty. In most cases I believe they respond promptly and positively.
I agree.
Of course Police Officers are human the same as any profession.
How many nurses have been found drunk on duty or guilty of negligence?
I have had cause to have a fair bit of Involvement with my police force due to community meetings etc. My own experience Is that any police force gets the odd disgrace to the force but It's one rotten apple In a very large barrel. The rest I have dealt with, I can honestly say are a credit to our community. They are frustrated at being desk bound under mountains of PC paper work rather than out on the streets with the community. Maybe I am just lucky at having some pretty good men and women In my local force.
