Well, that's all true, and I concur.
However some teenager, who bows to peer pressure and thinks he/she is taking half a Vicodin, but is, in fact, taking in 3mg of Fen, justice isn't having them die.
Let's just take steps to stop the central americans and their chi-com benefactors from providing a tool that kills 100k Americans a year.
Then why do you pay for it?
Sounds more like an allergic reaction.
BTW, Police Officer (#22) is below Crane Operator (#13), Crossing Guard (#12), Small Engine Mechanic (#18), Construction Helper (#14).
Good grief, a GARBAGE COLLECTOR (#5) has a job over 4 times more dangerous than being a cop!
Cry me a river about how dangerous being a "revenoor" is.
Of other potential interest, I personally have been employed in 4 of the top 10.
That 2020 list was created based on statistics from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries. It doesn’t even include firefighters whose jobs are extremely dangerous. Thanks, but I don’t trust the government to be honest about anything.
Some cop must have really pissed you off at some point in your life, so that you view all cops the same. One of the things my mother taught me as a kid was instead of being critical about someone without actually knowing them, was to put myself in their shoes, and try to imagine what they might be going through. I spent 25 years in uniform working for NY State's prison system. I felt safer working behind the bars of a prison with convicted felons than I would have, had I been a cop on the street. Too many unknowns when you're out dealing with the public.
I believe that Firefighter Supervisor was number NINE.
Nice strawman, with a hint of gaslighting.
OH, and regarding the individual officers: the 99% give the good ones a terrible reputation.
So a firefighter supervisor who stands outside on the street, giving orders verbally, and over a radio to the firefighters, that are actually entering the buildings and fighting the fires, garners a number 9 on that most dangerous job list, but actual firefighters do not? Must be they trip over the hoses laying around on the street a lot more, and injure themselves.
If you say so champ.
