Here's a list of occupations that are more dangerous than police officer. https://cms.qz.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/the_deadliest_...



This is an excellent example of lying with statistics.

Of course police deaths are low across all police everywhere. The aggregate death statistics are meaningless.

Pull up a stat comparing deaths of cops only in downtown Chicago or Detroit or how about Minneapolis and then it will be more meaningful


Perhaps it is you who need to look up the statistics of those cities. Only two police officers have been killed in Minneapolis in the last 20 years, out of more than 600 homicides in that city.


The reason you don't pull up those statistics is that they in fact completely contradict your claims.

You might ask yourself why you feel the need to make things up?
