Never forget what we have learned during this historical time in our great nation because we are taking it back. I am not saying those professions are not important but they are no more or no less important than any other job.

Most of us just ask that you clean up your profession but as you can see, cops get very upset when we ask them to do so. One of my best friends is a nurse and believe me, we appreciate the hard work nurses do. It’s the tiktok thing that is a very bad PR campaign. Know that you are appreciated

I'm a retired cop and current nurse. The reason I get upset when people simply insist that police clean up their profession is that it's a terrible oversimplification that doesn't take the public role into account. "Police work" is literally whatever the local community organizing it says it is, (supposedly) within constitutional boundaries. As with other levels of government, the citizenry has been supine and disconnected for far too long. The police necessarily operate under civilian leadership; if we elect crap, then we have crap defining our police agencies. The last thing we want is a constabulary that ignores laws and judges, but then we hope it does when the laws and judges go too far. Although it's nice when street officers can see what's going on and take a stand, the only way to ensure this is to go up the chain and get the political types by the throat.

And Tik Tok nurses just suck.

"To maintain at all times a relationship with the public that gives reality to the historic tradition that the police are the public and that the public are the police, the police being only members of the public who are paid to give full-time attention to duties which are incumbent on every citizen in the interests of community welfare and existence."

Thank you. I'll do what I can in my area to help make nursing great again. Maybe the hate stirred up from the Tik Toc stuff is what will cause the silent moral types to snap and slap the stupid nurses back into line. Too many good people remain silent and let ridiculousness reign, and then they silently grumble behind people's backs instead of bashing them to their face.

I quit my job in big tech to go out on my own years ago. I could not take the dumbing down of my profession through large corporations.

I realize you most likely don’t have that option. I do understand nurses do most of the work in our hospitals and it is a very noble career. We will get through this troubled time in our great nation. Big Tech is to blame for a lot of the brainwashing and enabling of the bad behavior.

OP...

You're great. Seriously. I can't find anything I disagree with you on.

It's nice to see a truly like-minded fellow pede.

Thanks for this post, bro. Keep speaking truth.
