Let's compare homicides of average citizens to fatalities of any sort of police. This way, we're not inflating the rates of average citizens with on-the-job hazards, but we're letting the police count every death they suffer -- whether intentional or accidental.
I don't disagree at all that police officers have it in their favor overall on a "daily life" basis of being protected. Being a police officer certainly comes with its perks in daily life over that of the "average citizen", a situation I don't agree with.
