Firefighters vs Police Officers

[Kahjo]

Well this does depend in which country you live in, Polices are different.

Officer: Move yo firetruck breh!
FireFighter: I parked it like that to help people bro.
*moments later*


Yeah I'm gonna have to go with FireFighters to be honest.

Police, every time. Both are equally important, but I'm a police kind of guy, being in the police and all.

That said, fire services are becoming less valuable. Fire isn't that much of a problem nowadays, compared to ambulance related calls and police related calls.

This^^

How can you put a rating on people who save lives daily? It's going to be both for me, I have a lot of respect for these guys.

Tell that to people that live in very hot countries (Like Spain and Australia, which btw I've lived in both, or California). During summer time it's so dry that huge portions of forest go on fire, threatening the homes and lives of literally thousands of people.

I never said to put a rating on them, all due respect. 

The point of this thread and the poll was to see which is more important or in other words: if you had the option, which would you be if you could on a more personal level. 

I'd like it to be on the record that I have family and friends in both fields of work, and respect them both as if they were my equal, however I believe that a Police Officers job presents more danger than that of a Firefighters, due to the fact that as Disabled said that there are more of them and they are more likely to be targets due to the fact that they are dealing with the public more than the Fire Department.

I do appreciate the fact that most people are saying that both are equal in their own unique way, which were my exact thoughts, however my vote went to Police because I honestly can't remember a time when I didn't want to be a Police Officer. 

Also, disabled:
I was not aware of that situation in which you linked a video to, as I do not live in the UK.

That's like saying which is more important, the pencil or the paper. They are both needed for things to function properly. This thread is a little selfish imo.

In what way is it selfish? I was curious what the community thought about this matter, so I posted a thread and asked for the input of the community.
