I disagree that the overtime is expected. It's a benefit available to them that isn't available to the general public.

I also strongly disagree about the relative "danger" of their job.

My dad was a firefighter for 30 years. He got paid less than most cops and faced significantly more danger on every shift than most cops.

Fuck the police. They were shitty since their inception.
