It drove me crazy when the police and their apologists would respond to demands of reform with, “Oh, but we’re having more line of duty deaths than ever before!” as if things had gotten really dangerous for them, and it wasn’t just down to police unions having been fighting over requirements for vaccines and masks because they had bought into the right-wing culture war self-destructive bullshit.
I think I’ve seen some stats that did, but I don’t know if it was within the context of “most dangerous jobs” stats. I know things like heart attacks (often) get included in those stats, though (while not being included for other jobs).
They’re up at the top of the list, but apparently less than cops. Not nearly as much less as the copaganda would have you believe, though…
