The occupation of police officer in the US is roughly as dangerous as being a construction worker. Police aren't even in the top 10 most dangerous occupations

The occupation of police officer in the US is roughly as dangerous as being a construction worker. Police aren't even in the top 10 most dangerous occupations [1]. So this type of fear is not really justified and probably contributes to the problem.

- lostmsu 6y agoConsidering the number of occupations that is not really a good number.
- dungdang 6y agoconsidering the comparison to a well known and broad job description -construction worker, the list being used for this top 10 number does not have a large number of occupations. and considering that you clearly undersdand that, your comment is pushing a false narrative using misinformation. and considering that this forum is not a place for calling people losers and purposely dense clowns, i won't.
- lostmsu 6y agoYeah, no joke. There are several hundred occupations in the original report: https://www.bls.gov/iif/oshwc/cfoi/cftb0326.htm https://www.bls.gov/iif/oshwc/cfoi/cftb0326.htm They likely picked the most dangerous ones.
