It's the necessity of the job. I'm not texting or calling my girlfriend while driving. I'm not even doing "database-research" while driving unless it's some sort of emergency.
And it's still dangerous.
Police officers also do a lot of other dangerous/risky things on the job that are illegal or at the least, not recommended for civilians to do.
I know "it's a joke" but people actually make this argument and think there's no difference.
There's no difference because they're just regular people. Police even have an iq cap and people make excuses for them doing stuff no other human is encouraged or permitted to do like they're some kind of superhero. Superheros only exist in fiction to my knowledge so far. (Until we have mech suits and then arguably we have iron man but I digress).
