These people chose this as a job. Why does that mean they have more power then anyone else? Cause they carry a gun or save lives? They're providing a service. Same as the person behind the counter at Taco Bell or the lawyer or the server/bartender. I don't see cops, firemen, or military personnel as special. It's a job.
Whether they actually have more power is irrelevant, the uniform makes them look higher class, therefore more power. Most people just think they have more power. In all reality they don't, we just think they do. Also, when I see someone in uniform I sometimes think "This guy can really fuck me up! He looks so badass!"

I see military members and police and firefighters as special people, but that's for another thread a few weeks ago.
