Would it have anything to do with police officers having training and tools that are specifically used to avoid injury and death?
It would be like saying swimming in a kiddie pool is more dangerous than scuba diving, because every year 400 kids drown in their backyard and only 80 scuba divers die per year.
Obviously scuba diving is more dangerous on paper, but those who partake in that activity have equipment and training specifically to not die.
if something dangerous is happening to a pizza delivery guy, its happening TO them, they do not have a choice
Cops can just decide "nah fuck that I'm not helping" like they did while those children were slaughtered at Uvalde
That's totally true as well.
Its untrue that US police are not obligated to intercede for your protection or safety?
Its untrue that US Police did not let over a dozen children get slaughtered while hanging out in the hallway, PLAYING ON THEIR PHONES?
Its untrue that a pizza delivery person who is suddenly violently accosted or involved in a traffic accident is helpless to remove themselves from the situation?
Please, tell me.
Edit: oops, I just realized I misread. Still gonna leave this here tho
Maybe for themselves but they sure do cause injury and death to others. And besides, most officer on the job deaths are from eating too many donuts and getting cardiac failure (which pretty much all the "death on the job" stats for police conveniently avoid mentioning)
1 cop got killed and they shut down new york and every other cop did a fascist march through the streets, so now that you mention it yeah that would be disruptive if they were being killed at half the rate of delivery drivers
Oh sure I get written up if I call to make a doctor's appointment during work hours, but cops get to run their weekend errands during work. Typical.
