[E. Pluribus Unum]

According to CNN, the number of police attacked or threatened on the job was 306 per thousand...

The findings were part of a newly-released report based on surveys of 45,000 households every six months between 1992 and 1996.

Violence was defined as anything from a mere threat of violence to rape to assault to homicide.

You are comparing apples to oranges. The U.S. Department of Labor Statistics reports work-related fatalities. The questionable "survey" you reference lumps minor threats (these days "you are a jerk" can be construed as a threat) together with homicide.

Not a very scientific survey. I will stick with the U.S. Department of Labor Statitics numbers, thank you.

You remind me of one of those socialists who like to throw the term "scientific" around to impress the sheeple. How are stats combining threats made and threats carried out (to show how dangerous something is outside of simple accidents) specifically unscientific?
