Our brave boys in blue, ladies and gentlemen.
There are 22 jobs in the U.S. statistically more dangerous than being a cop.
Cowards. So many of them are cowards.
You missed the most dangerous job: US president.
1/10 of all presidents have been assassinated and 1/5 of presidents died in office
Presidents Georg, who lives in white house & dies every day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
Might as well climb K2. 1/4 summit to death rate.
Are the numbers for warlord/dictator even worse?
I'm so stealing this!
Barbers have a more dangerous job. People are very particular about their hair, and can run out without paying.
And the leading cause of injury/fatality for police officers by far: vehicle accidents. Not being shot at.
Also COVID for a couple of years there as they refused to wear masks in most cases.
Bullies are always cowards.
That's why they form a gang, because the only way they can feel strong is if they outnumber you.
That's why it takes fifteen fucking cops to "deal with" a single homeless person in a public park who isn't bothering anybody.
If they do that during the day, with enough people around, people will whip out their phones to record the cops and the cops will give up and leave and stop harassing.
If they do it during the evening, and there's not very many people around, and only one person whips out their phone.... The cops will arrest the person who whipped out their phone, too, because they outnumber them.
Yep, and this is just tracking mortality. You would think, oh hey maybe they look better if you included things like workplace violence......nope. Pretty much 80% of work place violence happens to healthcare workers and social workers.
So pretty much every healthcare worker has experienced more violence in their work than police officers. I've had patients take swings at me in my hospital, it's a fairly natural response to being in pain, on drugs, or disoriented. But just because your occupation has the potential to introduce you to a violent environment, that doesn't justify your own participation in it.
I’m a very nonviolent and nonconfrontational person, but I once had a boil in a sensitive spot lanced without adequate pain control, and it took all my self control to not FIGHT it. Stone cold sober, knowing it needed to be done, my body physically wanted to fight the doctor to make it stop. It’s nuts to expect someone who’s not completely there for whatever reason to be completely in control of that instinct, but it’s what cops expect people to do.
Cops will taser or shoot you before you can take a swing at them. Healthcare workers and delivery drivers don't get tasers and guns.

Looking forward to my next traffic stop so I can mention that crossing guards have a more dangerous job than cops 🫡
Virtually every main cause of death on this list is falling or getting struck by a vehicle.
Yes. A lot of them also involve being killed by the machines they use too. Safety measures can only go so far.
Crossing guards being on a list with derrick operators and power linemen is a disturbing commentary on our road infrastructure priorities.
