I bet it is. I plan to be a firefighter in the mountains. Wager I was joking about the fire/cop thing. And Im already evil... I wouldnt cop in a big city and Id go for detective ASAP. Also im using my phone which is why there is a lack of spacing.

And don't... don't... don't... become a cop.

Seriously.

I've seen good people turn sour and into EVIL people because of all the bureaucracy and BS. I've seen some EVIL cops - that were once really nice guys. I've seen planted evidence where everyone looked the other way.

Don't become a cop. You'll NEVER be able to have a family... cause a Cop Marries his/her job. It NEVER ends.

Just FYI - most police stations and fire stations/rescue places hold hostility for each other.

They seem to get in the way of each other.

Just so you are aware of it - it is VERY rare to see a firefighter cop.

I've seen 3 in my entire profession...

Not normal - a lot of it has to do with politics and funding. But some of it comes from the firefighters need to rescue and a cop's need to arrest, protect the scene of a crime and preserve evidence... They don't always mix.

I have and would again.

(not to copy any one else in this - just that I have been in positions where I have risked my life to save others - and would do it again in a heartbeat. THAT IS WHAT HUMANITY IS ALL ABOUT...)

well I can't save a 210 pounds male with my 135 so I'm hoping he'll save himself (and the kids while I run and hide) :p

That's my answer too. Although if related to family, then I know I would.

Yes, for my wife and my family ... not so shure to risk my life for unknown people.

Very cool dbowles1017.

I fought forest fires for two summers.
Very intense, a tad freaky.

"Don't tase me bro!"

I would tase everyone. Seriously.

that could never interfere with your judgement such that you might be prone to TASE people to death... nah

dbowles1017 — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 20:16:32 -0500

True... Maybe I'll work part time as a cop, seeing as how I'll be work 24 hours on, 48 off :p

police can always take bribes... and you get all the free donuts you can eat. (I may need to cancel my subscription to Stereotype Digest)

Aahhh I see you answered it and I was right my fist guess. Well, I wish you well, a safe and long career.

Wow did I hear firefighters? Cool. Anyway i think if it's a family member then there is nothing in the world that you won't do.

I won't save you CA. I'll let you cook yourself :p

"Cooking for assholes presents, cooked cookingasshole"

I thought about joining the police, but the pay sucks.

My future profession requires it. So yes.

It would depend on the person and the circumstances for me. I did jump in front of a moving car once to get my younger brother... and I'd step in front of a bullet for any of my siblings. But say the bank robbery goes down when I am in line next to Ann Coulter? hmmm, sorry, but I think I'd use her as a shield ;)

I'd like to think I would ... be brave enough if the situation arises. I fully believe I have that in me.

Hell, I'm in the military, so there is a bit of that already ... even though I wouldn't be in the frontline.

I must admit I have never had to do this, although I've helped people in dangerous situations but none that I would consider life-threatening.
