Do other jobs of comparable death rates have higher pay? My understanding is that there are a number of jobs with higher death rates which aren't typically thought of as like, super "in the line of danger" jobs.

Are those stats wrong? or maybe misleading by focusing on the wrong slice of the population? Or something like that?

Or is the compensation for those jobs more than it is for police officers?
