Every single metric from injury risk to death, police is not a top 20 most dangerous job and no mental gymnastics will change that.



Hence why not one source has been posted showing otherwise.

Police hero worship is some of the most misplaced there is.
There is a big difference in going to work and dying because of carelessness/negligence and going to work and being murdered because you are at work that day doing your job.

Imagine if someone walked to where you work and shot one of your coworkers to death. Just because they didn't like the service provided or people in your line of work. Then, while your coworker is lying on the ground growing cold, before they even gets a body bag on them. You just have to go back to work because the job never stops. And remember to be polite, professional with the public, don't make any mistakes, etc.

Sounds fukked up? That's the reality of policing when there is a line of duty death.




From that article.
"The most common cause of death for police officers at work is violence by persons."

you're much more likely to be murdered as a civilian than as a cop. It still takes major balls to kill a cop; basically the entire department and neighboring departments stop what they're doing and come after you.

in your own "source" they put police within the top 25, and you make your own tailored claim of "not a top 20 dangerous job". OP never claimed it was the MOST dangerous, just dangerous which again, your own source states.

You are such an idiot, lmao.

Yeah think everyone knows and acknowledges that there are bad cops, power hungry cops, lazy cops etc. But it doesn't make you a bootlicker to support the police as a whole even if there are some bad apples. Seems to be what most ppl are missing here.

Brb some guy kneels on a druggies neck (likely because negligent, recklessly careless, etc.) somehow becomes "defund all police" rather than "put this guy in jail."

lol relevance? doesn't change the fact that you can be thrown in jail or made a target by celebrities just for showing up and doing your job.

Again there is a difference in you hurt yourself due to your own negligence and someone pulling a gun and shooting you/at you. Or someone running you over when you're having a conversation with another person.
i was talking about injuries/death ratio not that actual events. do cops get pulled into machines? managled/amputated fingers/arms? have something fall over and crush them? see i can list job specific terrifying things too.

you act like they are in such deadly interactions all the time when in reality they are the ones with weapons imposing on you giving out directives lawful or not. most people dont know their rights so they always listen.

That article Hay Zeus posted is literally opinion trash and not statistics.

brb Fire fighter supervisor more dangerous than police officer.

I worked in a fire station for ~5 years and I can attest that is extremely unlikely.

Just for interest sake a few years ago I applied for one of the regional police forces in my province. Known for high crime and lots of action, and their recruiting was the toughest testing for regular police out there. Written and physical exams were on the same day.

150 started the written. First test was logic, like knowing when certain things happened at an accident scene. Literally half the people were washed out after that. Second was an IQ test. TWO PEOPLE FAILED AN IQ TEST. That was embarrassing. Then the third test was observational stuff like remembering things on a photo, another half gone after that. So out of 150 people only 33 moved on to the physical part.

Of the 33 that started only 13 of us passed the physical as well. I almost didn't, I had to run a 13 second 100 meter and a mile and a half in under 10 minutes to make my points. Thankfully I'm a good runner. We also had to do pullups, push-ups, curl-ups and things like a vertical jump.

But this was the toughest test in my province. All the others were a joke - simple written test and then a REALLY easy physical test. Standard for entry into police college is ridculously low.

Whats even funnier is they can bar you from becoming a cop if your IQ is too high

From that article.
"The most common cause of death for police officers at work is violence by persons."
Yeah that "unprovoked" angle is tired, old and just flat out wrong. in 2019 5 officers were killed in unprovoked attacks. More officers are killed for not wearing a seatbelt than those "murdered just because they didn't like the service, or people in your line of work".
