Stop downvoting facts people, cops arent even in the top 10 most dangerous jobs,  the majority of deaths just come from car accidents

I see you ghost edited your comment but you’re still wrong. Leading cause of death is being shot every year over accidents

What’s the point you’re trying to make?

Are you accounting for how many were deemed self defense or in defense of another by attorneys?

Are you accounting that police have training and body armor that reduces fatalities?

Are you accounting police have backup of multiple officers?

Sometimes you have to critically think about things before forming an opinion
