Hey Anonymous...FIRST: Learn to conjugate a sentence. SECOND: Police officers deal with the looming spectre of death EVERY DAY, as well as dealing with other things which you could not possibly comprehend...whereas a TEACHER deals with YOUR snotnosed kids. THATS WHY.

@kennyroaw-- First, one conjugates verbs, not sentences. Second, while the police may not be overpaid, teachers are most certainly undervalued, regardless of whose children they are teaching. And please stop shouting.

What a winner! This is the police officer who was assigned to my case when my son was hit by a car while riding a bicycle. Guess what, they never found the guy who ran over him.
