Thanks for importing the list BobCav.
I get so tired of seeing cops whine about their jobs being so dangerous.
I get so tired of people who pretend to be aformer law enforcement. :lol:
The jobs listedare absolutely the most dangerous out there. And that is because their job ispretty much the samedangerous task all day long.
A cops job is like many other jobs.Dangerous during a specific event. In this case...when he is on a traffic stop or ona call. Otherwise.... sitting in a carand driving in traffic is only as dangerous as it is to be in a motorist.
So please do not try to down play things....Each job has its specific dangers. Trash collectors are hit by cars, pilots die in crashes, power-line workersare electrocuted, fisherman drown, cops are shot, stabbed, hit by cars,and die in vehicle crashes.
But it seems that Sheriff is the one that actually brought it up so he could twist the topic and Bob played right into his hands. I was only pointing out why officers need to maintain a safe environment when dealing with armed people and what could happen.
In no way did I say that it was THE most dangerous job. In any job... fishing, construction, and what not.... you do what you can to limit your exposure to certain death. Just because you job is not HIGH on the list is no reason to become complacent.
