For whatever reason Ive begun noticing how many times a week I hear this line spew forth from someones pie hole.
usually I hear this from Joe Rent-a-cop who believes because he wears a badge, his job is no different than mine. Theres numerous threads on this forum that state the same thing. Ive recently heard this from a local jail employee which got me thinking...
Why is it everyone thinks they either know how to do our job, do our job, or have done our job but yet, have never been a Police Officer/Deputy etc. a single day in their lives.
It may be that Im friggin baked (tired, smoked) at the moment but this is starting to annoy me.
Ive never heard a fellow Officer/Deputy/Trooper tell someone, "My job is just like yours" or words to that effect but we seem to be told this quite often.
Im not a jailer, Ive never walked into the jail and said, "My jobs just like yours, we do the same things out there that you do in here." Cuz I dont.
To all of you who are NOT a Police Officer/Deputy/Etc., trust me, you do NOT do the same things we do nor are you held to the same standard. the mere fact you may work for for a law enforcing agency doesnt mean you walk in my shoes. I dont walk around telling dispatchers, jailers, records clerks, etc. that I know how to do their jobs, cuz I dont.
Ive never worked in a prison, couldnt pay me enough to do it, and I respect those guys enough to NEVER claim I know what their day is like in there, nor am I ignint enough to believe that I do the same things 'out here' that they do 'in there'.
I used to work for Alaska Airlines back in the day. Not once did I ever approach a pilot and say, "I do the same thing you do."
If you want to do this job and can pass muster, then apply and actually DO the job. Until then dont tell me you have a clue what it is I do for a living. As Ive said on like 3 different calls this week, "This aint TV".....Deuces!
