news:01c3ab6f$76e0cf30$0125250a@mxdulebfmqtxlczq.. . Soliloquy .. . ^ If the pay is so low, what attracts people to become ^ police anyway? The glory. The recognition as a hero. Just look at the statement that someone else made in response to your message: "How many lives did you save last week?" That is what attracts most people to dangerous jobs. If the money isn't there then it is for the glory. So we give them their glory. Frank For the record, there are no such things as BORN heros. NO ONE in their right mind goes into the EMS/FIRE/POLICE service OR Military for that matter to "BE" a hero. Usually the only "heros" are DEAD heros. ANYONE who goes in to a scene regardless the type with the tunnel vision of becoming a hero, is a hinderance to ALL at the scene. THEY lose track of all training, signs of danger, and thus place themselves and/or many others in danger. SHOULD someone save a life, they may be called a hero.. BUT YOU DON"T GO LOOKING FOR IT. ANYONE who HAS joined the services for that reason are in it for the WRONG reason. AND - I don't know about the other states, but here in PA, it is at last check - 85% VOLUNTEER. WE DO NOT GET PAID to learn how to save lives and property. Our families get little in return if we are disabled or killed in the line of duty and we're no longer able to supply the income. WE DO IT BECAUSE WE CARE. WE NEVER KNOW when that call minor or major as it be, will be our last. YOU WANT HEROS? Continue to look to the Sports arenas. THEY are too busy trying to be heros. WE who take our jobs seriously - do NOT look to be heros. Give us our due for doing our jobs paid or volunteer and call it a day. G.W. |
