Clean & Jerk

you dont need this move unless you want to be good at oly lifting

Because getting it completely right with such a heavy amount of weight is more impressive than a squat/bench/deadlift

It takes timing, precision, strength, and speed all at once

You might as well say "Wow football is so dangerous why do people still play it? They're all tackling each other somebody could really get hurt there"

isn't the OP picture from either 2012 or 2016 where he fugged the snatch up? Not even a clean and jerk. And yes, he's a former gold medalist, but isn't in the sport anymore - he has retired and now weighs under 105 kg, also sings classic german songs.
also >>42879760, C&J and Snatch are moves that require technique, explosivity AND strength.

Why do crossfit people do clean and jerk?

well unless you're gonna do some sort of ugly dangerous continental clean it's the only way to get a barbell (or similar object) from floor to overhead.

Eating with a knife is risky, you could cut yourself. You get it, right? If you use Weight you probably can't control and move then you'll cut yourself

If you're doing lifts for training, you're basically right - you don't need it. Weightlifting is a sport, though, and the technique involved in olympic lifts makes it a lot more interesting in a competitive setting than powerlifting, at least for spectators.
