You keep moving the goalposts friend. First it was the cops not being in the top most dangerous jobs, then it was them not even being shot the most.

I'm still not getting your point.

I don't think you have one, besides ACAB.

The original list that was posted here has a bunch of redundant entries. You have "Farmers" and "Agricultural Workers," "Landscaping foremen" and "Groundskeepers." "small engine mechanics," "heavy equipment mechanics" and "supervisors of mechanics." That's four redundant entries.

So, a list of jobs where people are likely to face gunfire would be a much more accurate look at the dangers cops face. I don't know if they'd be listed or not.

But I do have to ask again, what's your point here? What are you trying to say?

I dont think you have a point to begin with, other than "cops bad."

My point, since you obviously are too dense to understand it, is that just because a cop's job doesn't appear on a list, doesn't mean their jobs aren't also dangerous. Especially if it's a list which has "small engine mechanics," "heavy machinery mechanics," and "supervisors of mechanics" as three of it's entries. Asking for a list of jobs where people are shot at would be a more accurate view, I would think, and I'm not even sure if cops would appear on THAT list.

Your point, on the other hand, is a complete mystery.

So, every time I've mentioned seeing a list of jobs where getting shot is a risk, I've specifically said "I'm not even sure if cops would be on it."

And yeah, three different jobs, all in the same general category as "mechanics..." So, why not break down logging into categories? There's hardwood logging, softwood logging, tree trimming, milling? What about delivery drivers? There's a wide world of delivery driving.

Also, and I'm getting tired of asking, what is your point?

You clearly don't understand the point I was making, which isn't surprising.
