Exactly. But the “blue lives matter” group only formed as a counter to Black Lives Matter so 🤷🏻‍♂️

You mean ACAB doesn't mean Assigned Cop At Birth?? 😱

I'm stealing this! Right on. "Blue Lives Matter" is just for Smurfs and the cyanotic.

Isn't soldier also a job?

Covid was also a top fatality result of police for a while there. Just showcasing their amazing decision making skills as they refuse to get vaccinated.

Clearly they represent the best of the best there.

Delivery drivers also are more likely than police to be subject to robberies...

It's also not unheard of for robbery to end in murder.

It's one of 6 other jobs

That's insane. How in the world do they rationalize that to themselves?

Septic tank diver is the shittiest job. Change my mind.

I would guess it looks better if you include not USA

So they're the opposite of the ATF?

Assigned Cop at Birth

And yet they do, statistically, die more than most other jobs. Pilots have every business being on here because the comic creator just literally took a "top X dangerous jobs list" and turned it into a meme.

Passengering is safe. Piloting, less so. Just like riding in a bus is statistically safer than being a career driver. Because you get off the bus, and that driver does 7 more runs. Alongside a long-haul truck driver carrying zero people. Etc. But Piloting is more dangerous than driving a truck.

Bush pilots probably drive the statistics up pretty far because it's dangerous in general and many of them keep flying long after commercial retirement ages.

Most pilots aren't commerical passenger pilots. Most are crop dusters and priority freight

Historically, shitty radio communication has gotten a LOT of people killed during emergencies. I'm perfectly willing to accept you can shave off a few percents of risk by getting Dutch cops better radios. But it's hardly going to move the needle compared to "unskilled" Labour such as construction.

I do workplace safety in the Netherlands, so allow me to trot some numbers out.

3800 people die every year as a result of their jobs. 2500 from cancer, 700 from coronary issues. Over 400 die from falling or car crashes. So about 200 people die from all the stuff you'd generally associate with gruesome workplace hazards. Now, generally when I hold this talk, the point is "stop being a moron around chemicals", but this time my point is "Dutch cops are really unlikely to die from their work".
