Because the media says so.

Aussie,
Peter Dutton was overcome with tears -
he was having great difficulty speaking.
You can't fake that.

Sure and all they give a fuq about is selling their product sucking every last drop of blood they can out of anything they have fostered reader interest in. 

A copper death is music to their arsehole ears....just like it is with sobbing politicians who bung on public displays of teary virtue signalling to appease/enlist a gullible public willing to fall for the crap.

I think it is established that there are far more dangerous occupations involving a service to community (what occupation doesn't...even train drivers are performing a community service as are Cabbies, as are miners, carpenters.....everyone who works is contributing service to community.)

Maybe SES and Rural Firies (volunteers ?????) are a special category as they are not paid (??????) for what they do....or are they?

Yes.  Yes you can.



He pretends to be a human being - you don't think he can pretend to cry?

It's a different work environment.
Most people are compliant with cops.

The danger arises quickly with coppers, and it's always different.
There is no time to fill out risk assessments. That's all done on the fly. That's the training they lack imo, but they're lucky in this country, they don't really need hard core defence training.... Yet.


Dangers on construction sites can be identified and tend to be reoccurring dangers.
If something changes, we sit down and review safe work methods and job safety analyses, we toolbox (talk in a group) about the work to be carried out. We use what they call a risk matrix. What that is is a series of numbers and letters on a graph. It is used for every step of the job to be carried out.
If you end up in the red section.... Rethink your procedures to work the risk down lower. It can be done 99% of the time.
When we're happy and in the green section of the matrix, we all sign on to say we agree to follow the steps and procedures as per the toolbox discussion.
If foelr some reason the task changes, we have time to stop and reassess the situation and again, work the risk to as low as possible.
This all takes time.

If you've got 5.56mm NATO rounds flying around you at random, time is life or death. You've got to act quickly while trying to keep as safe as possible.
