We citizens must understand that a policeman is a target always.

Actually you need to understand that police officer has one of the lowest death rates of all professions. Ranking about 4th I believe. Their job isn't as dangerous as they would have you believe.

PS, this is the list of the top 10 most dangerous jobs in the US, cops don’t make the list, so I was wrong about 4th place. As you can see there are other people who put their lives on the line every day just to earn a living, AND they don’t shoot other people’s dogs while doing their jobs(or kill homeless people).

1 Logging workers
92.4
85
2 Aircraft pilots
92.4
109
3 Fishers and fishing workers
86.4
38
4 Structural iron and steel workers
47.0
31
5 Refuse and recyclable material collectors
43.2
35
6 Farmers and ranchers
37.5
307
7 Roofers

34.9
94
8 Electrical power line installers/repairers
30.0
36
9 Driver/sales workers and truck drivers
27.6
905
10 Taxi drivers and chauffeurs
24.2
