hmm a cop, who works for the government and sole job is to cite or arrest someone who has broken the law, often arbitrary, needless laws.A para military culture that does not value constitutional rights and treats every citizen as guilty until proven innocent.The long list of abuses are not just the few.Yes, there are good cops who try to do right, but they are few and far between and will do what they are told most of the time, under the guise of "just doing their job"

A lawyer's job is to uphold the right's of citizens.The criminal defense attorney defends citizens from being fined, imprisoned, and in some cases murdered(executed) by the government.The civil attorney protects your rights in many ways, from making sure if you are injured etc due to someone's negligence etc you have a way to minimize the damage.They protect you from baseless slander. Some lawyers are scumbags sure, good and bad in both professions but in general, removing the people from and just talking about which is a more noble profession? Lawyer wins hands down. There is a reason many of the founders were lawyers.
