>More police are killed in traffic accidents than in violent confrontations. When you factor out traffic accidents in police deaths, being a cop is actually one of the safer jobs in North America.
Love to see the stats on that. Either way you wouldn't get me doing a cops job in America without a gun, for obvious reasons.
>All your bullshit about putting your life on the line is just psyching yourself up to shoot people. Cops don't put their life on the line. They sometimes get killed by people for no reason, but in smaller numbers than civilians get killed by people with guns for no reason. All your heroic language does is justify cops shooting innocents because they're scared.
Not really worth a response seeing as how this is just trolling, but I can guarantee 2 things that you'll not like hearing because you're obviously convinced all cops are just bad men in uniforms but, 1 yes cops do put their lives on the line, 2 my supposed "bullshit" about putting my life on the line is just not psyching myself up to shoot people. Sorry to disappoint you but you're speaking shite.

- mcguire 9y agoOn one hand, surprisingly, apparently traffic is less dangerous for police than violence. (https://www.bls.gov/iif/oshwc/cfoi/police-officers-2014.htm https://www.bls.gov/iif/oshwc/cfoi/police-officers-2014.htm) On the other hand, law enforcement is less dangerous than agriculture, transportation, or "grounds maintenance" (!)
