You don't think that has something to do with the exact policies you are objecting to? They call them "high risk stops" for a reason.
- cwillu 2mo agoYou'd have a point if any other western country had police work in their top-10 most dangerous fields, but they don't.
- stickfigure 2mo agoLike Mexico, our immediate neighbor to the south? Policing in Mexico is ~100 deaths per 100,000 compared to 11.3 deaths per 100,000 in the US. 100 deaths/100,000 is on par with logging workers in the US, which is the #1 most dangerous field. Do better research.
