No, they don't. They clearly show it is a dangerous profession. I'm sure you're going to say something like "Being a pizza delivery driver is more dangerous than being a cop", because that is exactly how this conversation always goes, because it is a meme at this point that you're just repeating instead of thinking, but it doesn't make any sense, and would probably work better on reddit than on HN.

Do you wear a seatbelt in a car? I'll assume so - why would you do that? Driving in a car without a seatbelt clearly isn't dangerous, because motorcyclists have a much higher rate of injuries while driving. See, that is a really stupid thing I just said. And it is the same exact logic that you're using to say being an officer isn't a dangerous profession.

So you're judging millions of people on the actions of a few people? That sounds suspiciously like a pretty serious flaw in rational thinking that "The Right" commonly falls subject to.
