It’s a tough job, but someone has to do it.
…and no, I have no clue about what a police surgeon is either.

Probably “medical examiner” or similar medical doctor that does work for the police to determine things like cause of death and other injuries possibly obtained while dying.
This is the British meaning of surgeon, so just general doctor vs. doctor who cuts people up.
A police surgeon is a doctor trained in forensics. They assess injuries after an assault, whether a prisoner needs medical attention, etc. They are often a normal operating doctor who does police work when needed.

That sounds similar to what would be called a “medical examiner” in the US.

Or at least kick them out now, seeing how useless they are, and even get directly hit by missiles, let alone protect its surroundings.

It’s funny because I hate everyone involved in this conflict. Iran, Israel, USA. They are all the same. Would not mind seeing some more dead dictators.

Sometimes, I don’t agree with any of it and just eat popcorn and watch.
This one though, I feel like I’m just watching and waiting for the other shoe to drop.

I’m hoping for regime change in any of those countries, but sad for the people dying. The girl school explosion is heart-rending. I feel for the parents.

Your wish is granted. Russia with China are now the world’s police. Taiwan invasion finally happens. Western chip availability (and therefore tech prices) in shambles. Russia now convinced they can finish off Ukraine and go for entire eastern bloc, because at this point NATO no longer functions. Every country besides BRICS are scrambling for self survival. China goes all out on imperialism in Africa. Next 30 years we see way more wars and deaths than last 30.
But hey, as republicans say it - anything to own the libs, no matter how painful or stupid it is.
Look back at time you thought was bad (but relatively wasn’t) and realize that it can get so much worse without some balance in the world

You mean a police surgeon?
Thank you. The other sub thread explaining this is doing a terrible job.
Wait, is there a specific term for a doctor who primarily operates in British English?
There’s some differences. For example a surgeon in British English can be called Mr instead of Dr.
The US also has ‘surgeon general’, likewise not typically doing any cutting.
I’m sure the Trump administration will find a way to blame this on Hillary Clinton.
Mmmm them buttery males.
