Yeah, cops are “far down the list.” Tell that to the families of the 331 law enforcement officers who have been killed in the line of duty since 2007 (11 just so far this year). Their job is certainly dangerous enough.

If you discount those that met their demise during "routine traffic stops", the numbers would be much less.

Cops engaging in "routine traffic stops" are nothing but highwaymen and tax collectors and are worthy of contempt.

Actually no. "Struck by vehicle" and "vehicular assault" seem to make up only about 10%

The bigger category is "vehicular accident" (c.30%), where the cop is actually driving the car. Take their cars away if you want to make a difference.
