Pizza delivery drivers have to deliver over 10 million pizzas a year. Any one of those deliveries could be cut short by a drunk driver that causes a head-on collision at 60 miles per hour. They don't have the luxury of foresight of knowing if they're coming home today or not. They know they're at risk. Contrast that with your average cop issuing citations and filling out paperwork and I'd say their job is incredibly fucking dangerous.

Pizza delivery can be dangerous in certain neighborhoods, for sure. At least one or two were killed in my home town. However, let's not pretend that the emotional and mental weight and responsibility of being a pizza delivery driver is anywhere close to what a cop has to deal with on a daily basis: "Police respond to murder-suicide in Durham" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ei4D2toAHQ4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ei4D2toAHQ4 "Man shoots, kills police wearing body cam" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssARbfxqTh0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssARbfxqTh0 "Police respond to reported armed robbery on South Hill" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7iOelX_0kY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7iOelX_0kY "Bodycam Footage Shows Woman Falsely Accused Cop of Sexual Assault | New York Post" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTv5VkX_T8o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTv5VkX_T8o "Police seek man who tried to rape elderly woman" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWPvXsUmZik https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWPvXsUmZik You let me know what pizza delivery driver has to deal with shit like that.

  This is bordering on the absurd. Almost all police officers go through their career without being in objective danger of dying. If they do run in to danger, they call for backup and are trained to handle it. You can find examples of death in any profession. Like it or not, policing is not one of the most dangerous jobs out there, it's just filled with scared people.
