Was reading another thread about how being a cop is no more dangerous than falling off a stool at Dunkin’ Donuts.

These officers were doing their job. It’s dangerous. Thank God for them, and my sincerest condolences to all their families. They make it easier to sleep in a comfortable bed at night, instead of building a fire to ward off the wolves.

Sorry, but being a taxi driver is a more dangerous job. Being a police officer isn't even in the top 10 most dangerous jobs.

In actuality, police lead in job-related homicides. Actually, I think they might have been behind retail.
So they’re accidental death rate is lower than most... But they get MURDERED more often. Your statistical analysis was off.
