No direct comparison, but, police officers killed in germany: http://www.corsipo.de/ http://www.corsipo.de/ (probably incomplete, but <5 per year) In the usa: http://www.governing.com/gov-data/safety-justice/US-Law-Enforcement-Officer-Deaths-annual-totals.html http://www.governing.com/gov-data/safety-justice/US-Law-Enfo... Extrapolating that into numbers: DEU: <0.6 police officers killed per 10 mio citizens :::: USA: ~4.6 police officers killed per 10 mio citizens Meanwhile the number of police kills are roughly: DEU: ~1 person killed by police per 10 mio citizens :::: USA: ~12.5 persons killed by police per 10 mio citizens The ratios are not all that far apart: DEU: ~1.7 persons killed per police officer death :::: USA: ~2.7 persons killed per police officer death

In terms of statistics being a cop is pretty safe? So many other occupations will lead to an early death? Page 4, and 5 on: Fhttp://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/cfoi.pdf http://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/cfoi.pdf I don't want to argue with anyone, but I've always felt if police officers were given better training, and maybe required a bit more than a high school diploma, say an AA in psychology; we wouldn't have these posts? By better training, I mean less paramilitary emphasis? I'll admit, I'm tired of the endless pullovers--for no reason other than driving an old car, or out past 10:30 p.m. I'm tired of the Revenue Collection(that's not their fault! We need to tie income to violations in the United States, or lower fees altogether?) A rich man get a ticket--he tell the wife at dinner. A poor man gets a ticket; it just might be the last straw? I'm just tired of being scared when they are around! I don't think things are going to change for a long time. All I rely on is dash cams at present. No need for spending more than 20 bucks at Amazon? Those cheap ones work, and last a long time. Buy two--in case one breaks? I had on going over a year now. I haven't been pulled over since? Maybe I don't do out like I used to, or they see that little screen flip down?
