It's more dangerous to be a farmer than a policeman in the United States as well. 20.4 vs 13.7 fatal injuries per 100,000 per year. Being a policeman is just not very dangerous compared to most non-office jobs.

- mjfl 6y agoYou don’t think that fatality rate is low because police are trained in how to to decrease their risk in the dangerous situations they get into every day? How often do farmers go on house calls to calm down a belligerent drunk estranged husband with a gun? Not too often I would imagine. But domestics make up a large proportion of police calls.
