This is a tribute to the many police officers who risk their lives daily. We should never forget the first ones we call, when we are in danger.

the many police officers who risk their lives daily

In fact cops don’t even rank in the top 10 most dangerous jobs in the country according to The Bureau of Labor Statistics.

What exactly is more dangerous than being a cop? For starters, a trash collector is twice as likely to die on the job versus a cop, fishing is 7 times more dangerous than being a cop, and logging workers, nearly 9 times more dangerous.

Here are occupations more dangerous than being a police officer. Number of deaths per 100,000 employed:chart-3

  1. Logging workers: 127.8
  2. Fishermen: 117.0
  3. Aircraft pilots: 53.4
  4. Roofers: 40.5
  5. Garbage collectors: 36.8
  6. Electrical power line installation/repair: 29.8
  7. Truck drivers: 22.8
  8. Oil and gas extraction: 21.9
  9. Farmers and ranchers: 21.3
  10. Construction workers: 17.4

 

The majority of police deaths are not as a result of violence in the line of duty either, most have occurred accidentally rather than feloniously. Most police officers die, not in some heroic high speed pursuit of a child murderer, but in routine traffic accidents.

It’s not how dangerous a job LEOs have….it’s how well they perform their duty when I call for assistance from them.

You can call a trash collector when someone commits assault and battery against you, kidnaps or murders a member of your family. Call a fisherman when someone rapes your wife or daughter. Call a logger when someone commits larceny, robbery, burglary, arson, embezzlement or forgery.

Less than one half of one percent (of policemen) misfit the uniform and that is a better average that you’d find among clergymen.

Oh, you mean like the way they respond to a 911 medical emergency and instead of helping, they kill the person?

I'd call any one of them before I'd call a cop.

Mother of Two Shot in the Chest, Killed by Police After She Called 911 for Help

Man Calls 9-1-1 After Finding Girlfriend Stabbed, Cops Show Up, Kill Him and His 3-Legged Dog

Man with the Mentality of an 8-Year-Old Killed by Police After Mother Dialed 911 for Help

Mother calls 911 for help with mentally ill son, police shoot and kill him. He had a red broom.

Oh, you mean…

Oh, I mean how the quick response of Sayreville police saved the life of a 6-year-old borough girl Saturday night when her parent reported the child was not breathing and turning blue. source. YOU can call a trash collector to do that.

Oh, I mean how a hero first-responder died trying to save the life of Coney Island families. Yolanda Vargas wants to tell the family of Police Officer Dennis Guerra that she owes him her life. source YOU can call on a fisherman to do that.

Oh, I mean how Pittsburg Detective Jack Mook saved a couple of lives this year in a very unique way. Two years ago, Detective Mook rescued two young boys from an abusive foster home, and this year, Mook — who is a committed bachelor, police detective, and boxing coach — adopted the two brothers. The boys enjoyed last Christmas with the best friend a boy can ever have: a caring dad. source YOU can call on a logger to do that.

Oh, I mean how two Chicago police officers helped save the life of a man who suffered a medical emergency at Midway Airport. It’s the second time this week officers have been hailed as heroes for taking quick action for saving a life. source YOU can call on an aircraft pilot to do that.

There are countless others…

Yes, yes, yes .. redundancy was taught to you by yukon, as well. I am confident that most know about your fine friend, yukon, whom has taught you everything you know.

What is the purpose of a gun-slinging uniformed fat ass, government paid, whom is an over paid doughnut eater sitting next to an innocent adolescent at an ice-creme parlour? Rhetorically, a pre-paid counseling session for the next traffic ticket costing 400 bucks?
