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.
