I agree, it’s not that funny. Who cares? I don’t imagine they were trying to make a point. A police officer is just about the most stressful job someone can have. Maybe they were just trying to have a little harmless fun. People are so uptight.
Most years police officers don’t even rank in the top 20 most deadly jobs. Pretty much anyone in construction, logging, mining, agriculture, or fishing has much more reason to be stressed than cops, certainly more worried about dying at work. In America, they might be pretty worried because technically a state of civil war has existed for many years now with the cops killing more than 1000 civilians (over 1300 people in 2024) every year, but they made that bed, and they can lay in it. This is a picture of tax dollars at work. I don’t think it’s funny at all; to me, it’s a repulsive reminder that they want as many people in jail, for any and all reasons they can come up with. “To Serve and Protect.” I urge everyone to think hard about who they serve and protect , and why. Perhaps a more accurate slogan would be “Generating Revenue for the State”, or thinking about the fact that only about 7% of officers time is spent investigating serious crime maybe just “Wasting Time on the Backs of the Taxpayers”
I disagree. Police go into unknown situations everyday. Potentially deadly situations. Farmers, tradesman, logging deaths are largely accidents. I am a tradesman and am not stressed out in the least about the potential of an accident. My opinion though.
Also, you’ve never goofed off on the job and had a little fun? They are in Canada. It’s not a police state. People are allowed to have fun at work.
