Idk about the cops but Fire and EMS want no part of that chudly bullshit.

firefighters can be just as bad as cops in terms of chuds in their ranks but since they never kill anyone no one notices

i've always wondered why the power-tripping psychos who become cops don't just become firefighters instead, you get the same amount of hero worship and way less blowback

no guns like was said, but also, no state-sanctioned authority to dominate and demean any person you see in your daily life for no reason than you own caprice, with zero consequences for your behavior

Also if there's a fire that can't be easily and quickly contained you should definitely call the fire department. I won't say there are no rear end in a top hat firemen but having a fire department is actually pretty crucial. So, arguably, is having some sort of police system, it's just that the system we have is poo poo. The training is not adequate in some places and actively harmful in others and the weird 'hero worship or get hosed' attitude is terrible. cops shouldn't be swinging their weight around, cops are there to serve the communities they're charged to protect but that's not what ends up happening. I'm not going to respect someone just because they wear a blue uniform, that's absurd.

Probably ties a lot in with the military worship in America, but I'm not educated enough on this stuff to tie into exactly how.

Like I'd be more inclined to respect a fireman just on the basis of their job than I would a cop because firemen actually go straight towards danger and, yanno, walk into fires to rescue people. Media plays up being a cop as super dangerous (and from what I know cop culture does too) but it's actually usually not? Like, if everything is going right it's just going to be a lot of routine stops and paperwork. That's ideal. It's not an action movie and the idea that 'cops are on the job 24/7 so if you're a cop never let your guard down because people want to murder you just for being a cop' is a) weird and unhealthy and b) pretty culty, yet that's one of the things cited in a book I read for school written by a journalist who trained as and worked as a cop for one year. I can't remember the name of the book off the top of my head but it was pretty interesting.

Firefighters have to put out fires because that's their job, but thanks to the supreme court it has been established that the police have no obligation to prevent or interfere with crimes or to put themselves in danger (according to their personal metric for danger).

I think something like 90%+ of all firestation calls are for medical emergencies or false alarms and not actual fires, so firefighters are actually super pumped when they get to respond to real life fire.
