In the US, police work doesn't even make the top 10 most dangerous professions. You wouldn't know it from listening to them whine, though.

Out of a total of how many professions? That's a misleading statistic.

How is that relevant? If it's out of a total of 11 professions, that's even worse than if it were out of every single job out there.

Out of every profession tracked by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Is it more dangerous than what you do?

Could police work be less dangerous because of adequate training, equipment and protocols? The danger is still there, mitigated.

(Puzzled shrug) Yes, and roofers wear hard hats. Am I missing your point somehow?
