You can Google up the BLS data for yourself. Being a cop isnt even in the top ten. I’m so tired of that “life on the line everyday” BS I want to wretch every time I hear it. It’s a lie.
Cops are in more danger driving to and from work than they are on the job. The only work related injury my town (pop: 25,000, suburb or Chicago) has had in the last ten years was some idiot who managed to shoot himself with his duty weapon while “cleaning” it, allegedly.
So spare me the “my job is soooo dangerous” crap. It is not true.
