        One of my favorite bits is to get mad and call cops pussies when people say cops have a dangerous job because my former job of Pizza Delivery Driver was significantly more dangerous and we weren’t allowed to carry weapons

          If i remember correctly, being a police officer isn’t even in the top 10 dangerous jobs. It’s jobs like logging, industrial fishing, electrician, and some medical jobs. Yet you never hear about them when they die on the job yet the entire city shuts down if a single cop slips on a banana peel

            According to Forbes for the top 10 we’ve got:

            Loggers

            Fishing and hunting workers

            Roofers

            Pilots and flight engineers (helicopters are the main reason)

            Steel workers

            Delivery and truck drivers (includes semi-trucks to UPS to pizza delivery)

            Garbage collectors

            Miners

            Construction workers

            Electrical line workers

            Edit: Also with the exception of loggers miners they’re all from either transportation accidents (car crashes, or helicopter crashes for pilots) or falling off of stuff
