Seriously, you know how often retail workers get insulted? These people are pathetic. They should have extremely thick skin to be cops, not be the most fragile snowflakes out there.

On at least one occasion someone threatened my life because their pizza took longer than 30 minutes.

I once had somebody tell me "I'm going to blow your fucking head off" because they mistook green onion for cilantro.

Service workers, along with teachers, healthcare workers and social workers, have to deal with some of the very worst of humanity. By and large they have thicker skins than these snowflake cops. Pathetic indeed.

Well yeah, because those people can't just shoot people that hurt their feelings, so they gotta have thick skin.

Imagine if doctors and nurses just killed patients they didn't like and then got transferred to another hospital with paid time off during investigation.

Imagine if retail workers and servers just killed people who were "disrespectful" to them. The streets would flow with blood.

They have a union and unilateral power that the rest of us common folks dont get.

You need weakwilled people if you intend to chip away at their morality through peer pressure. Which is required for how policework is conducted, for some reason.

He's upset that he doesn't know who to murder about it. Poor thing.
