This may be, but making incorrect claims to try and diminish the risk first responders (in this instance, LEOs specifically) take is just being petty and insufferable. Following that up with posting links which fly in the face of your claim proves this point.
No one is asking for hero worship of first responders. That said, if you're not fond of "first responder glory", which you claim to be dumb, then maybe clicking on a thread entitled "Remember the Officers" is a fruitless endeavor for you. I don't purposefully seek out things that irritate me as that seems rather stupid.
I'll try this one more time.. You THINK being in the top 20 (barely) is proof that the profession dangerous. I provided for comparison that driving an automobile is essentially just as dangerous and yet society does not associate it with the same level of risk as being a LEO. So ya being a LOE is ranked 18th which in your view means it's ranked high but that ranking in itself is low because there are hundreds of careers behind it where there's statistically no or extremely low risk.
