Police are not in the top 10 dangerous jobs.....

[USALiberal]

So we can stop saying that the job is so dangerous that they need to shoot immediately. Traffic accidents cause about the same police cause of deaths as being killed by a criminal.

Also, most police officers never fire their weapon in a career. In a whole career.

From the article.....

In fact, only about a quarter (27%) of all officers say they have ever fired their service weapon while on the job, according to a separate Pew Research Center survey conducted by the National Police Research Platform. The survey was conducted May 19-Aug. 14, 2016, among a nationally representative sample of 7,917 sworn officers working in 54 police and sheriff’s departments with 100 or more officers.

1. It's still a dangerous job, but it is not the most dangerous

They have to stop criminals and serve people, it's a tough job, let's leave it to that.

2. True. And most of the injury and death comes in vehicle accidents, being in a car whole shifts and

driving, that happens.
