Wow, you know how is it you people are making it out like I said that law enforcement is the most dangerous job? I don’t care about your statistics. I knew a couple of cops who got killed in the line of duty (both on traffic stops, both shot). I don’t CARE about the most dangerous jobs in the world. I was only making a statement that law enforcement is still a dangerous job. I’m not going to sit here all night and argue statistics with you.
