Libroid media also makes a great deal of any death relating to the police or their dogs. Given that being a policeman is so Not Risky that it is not listed as one of the ten most dangerous jobs, I suspect the media attention is because media tends to like police states.

Good point. You read that tired crap all the time on here as well. I got news for you folks. TAXI DRIVERS HAVE A MORE DANGEROUS JOB THAN POLICE OFFICERS.

1st number is the death rate per 100,000 2nd number is total deaths

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 67

Being a cop doesn’t rank as being rather dangerous,, my uncle died this last week , he was a NYPD retiree with 35 years ,, no lie ... the only time he got into a situation with shooting/guns was when he accidentally walked in on a robbery in progress when he was off duty...

I’m sick to death of this pointless hero worship, they are for the most part tools of liberal politicians and their politically appointed chiefs... I would respect cops a lot more if they exercised proper judgement in their decisions on what laws to enforce... or if they would get out of their air conditioned cruisers every now and then and got to know the people on their beat.

Better be careful when you appear unsympathetic to dogs around here. I got suspended for 7 days for this tame post (my guess by some coward on this thread):

#21: Well, the ratio of innocent family dogs dying by trigger-happy cops is still much higher. Color me unsympathetic.

But hey, at least personal attacks such as these can be spewed freely with no repurcussions:

#24: maybe color you jerk for posting that here is more appropriate

#39: How about I color you dumber than snot.

#103: Dumber than snot? Well in regard to Gawain, ala Bill Murray in Ghostbusters, I will have to concur with Gator and agree "It's true Your Honor; this man has no d!ck."
