    teachers, law enforcement officials, and first responders who have dedicated their lives to strengthening their communities

    One of these things is not like the others, one of these things does the exact opposite of “strengthening their communities”…

      First responders also includes firefighters and paramedics.

      Don’t let your broad-brush hatred of cops blind you to things of value.

          LEO include jobs like prosecutors, parks rangers, wildlife officers, USPSIS personnel, and a lot more. This isn’t your average precinct cop – they generally don’t have student debt to forgive anyway.

              So, what? If you’re a cop you shouldn’t be allowed to have student loan forgiveness but all other first responders do? Public workers are public workers dude. They’re first responders whether we like it or not.
