I wonder how many convenience store workers were killed in the line of duty last year.

Any needless loss of life is regretable. However, a LEO’s life is no more important than anyone else. To try and make society think otherwise is tantamount to ascribing "superior status" to them; mayhaps that could be the reason for some of the 'god complex' reports wherein LEOs are so prone to shooting dogs, defenseless homeowners during botched wrong-address warrant invasions, etc.
