It’s never been safer to be a P.O.

It’s the safest blue collar job in America.

Your friend needs to seek professional help for his delusional paranoia and not carry a weapon until he is well.

Cops don’t even make the top ten.

“Common victims include cab drivers and cops. Fifty-one police officers were killed on the job in 2016, according to BLS (not including traffic deaths). That’s a 50% increase from the 34 police homicides in 2015, but still historically low compared to the early 1990s. The 2016 figure includes five Dallas police officers who were fatally shot that July by a gunman who said he was upset by police shootings of black men.”

I’m unsure if I’ve run across someone who argued that law enforcement is a “safe job” right under a headline about “an on the job” ambush and murder of an officer.

Which, incidentally, never happens to welders or plumbers at their job sites as a general part of their day. Or any blue collar job I am aware of.

Would you give me a couple of “blue collar” jobs that you consider dangerous? Not trying to argue or pick. Honestly curious.

Seriously? The job is a magnet to adversity.
