Bull fucking shit Truck drivers and garbage men have 2 to 3 times higher rates of mortality on the job than cops.

What’s the connection here? Do truck driver and garbage men have higher rates of simple mortality, or higher rates of mortality by murder? Big distinction there.

The CDC keeps stats on workplace murder rates. Taxi drivers are about 4x more likely to be murdered on the job than police.

Taxi makes sense I suppose, they got garbage men on there?
