Police and firemen don't even make the top 25 list. But they cry a lot about how dangerous their job is. Well let them take up Farming and learn what a real dangerous job is. Walt OH! Forgot Fishing now thats a dangerous job. [Reply]   [No Email]

From a very devoted (crybaby ) / EMS / Fireman. By the way, we have several openings at any given time.   [Reply]  [No Email]

The dangers associated with most jobs are due to neglect and disregard of safety. Almost all of the farm accidents I know of have been preventable, which is not the case with police officers. There is a difference between possibly being killed at your job, and being targeted and killed for simply doing your job. How about showing a little appreciation for those who willingly put themselves in that position for our sakes?   [Reply]  [No Email]

I"ve grown to know several of our county force the last 11 years being a county employee also. You hit the nail on the head! Never seen a PTO shaft swear to kill you, a grain bin trying to figure out wher you live to light your house. Officers in this county have no back up close within several minutes and patrol alone. If you think you want a piece come-on up to the reservation on a Sat night. I know guys that have done 1:5 officer/ drunk unruly ratio with backup 20 minutes out. Fun, Fun   [Reply]  [No Email]
