Police officers' superior firepower and will to use it is directly credible for their rise in safety and I applaud it with great fervor. I'd rather 100 dead gang bangers than 1 dead cop. I propose up armoring every cop car in the united states and mounting a Gatling gun as well.

this just proves that they are doing a good job eliminating all the potential threats to their own safety

every unarmed black kid they kill is one less potential cop killer on the street

it's definitely not in the top 10...

Fishing, Logging, Steelwork, Agricultural work, Warehouse work, HazMat workers, Truck Driving, Roofing... even pilots are at greater risk than P.Os

Who was it that claimed it was a top 10 dangerous job? Obviously many industrial careers are more dangerous for many reasons. Not only that but regional differences will smooth out any graph, whereas a logger or fisherman has a fairly dangerous job regardless of region. Id like to see the graph for NYPD or LAPD only to see the change over time.

Its never been safer to be a human in general, how does an over time graph prove that being a police officer isnt dangerous? And isnt that in itself hypocritical logic. When someone says "being a black kid isnt actually dangerous at all" people point to anecdotal evidence of past news stories. But there is just as much out there for police officer, ive counted at least 10 cop death stories in the past month, they just dont have the racist narrative attached.
