It's just a fact.
Fishing is more dangerous than being a cop. So is maintenance work. So is roofing.
The numbers don't lie.



NO.
Its not a fact. There are many factors TO consider, like WHERE and What district does a Cop work?
If its a Top 25 Most Violent City, with aggressive policing policy, and higher black demographic, then its far more dangerous to be a cop.
So it DOES matter how many, because policing in Cleveland, Detroit or Cincinnati is one helluva lot more dangerous than Vt, NH, or Iowa when compared to fishing.

Of course, the #s are per capita, I never disputed that, as there arent that many fisherman. We only have 2 coasts and a few great lakes.
We have an entire inland in between of land mass between that water, that is populated and needs policing. Hence, many more numbers of cops. Some in entire states that see relatively little crime.

I never disputed that there arent hazards with fishing, or roofing. No dispute.
You did however, and posted some nonsense and lots of crap with an anti cop agenda.

And again, IF roofers and fisherman take proper precautions-cougar paw shoes safety harness etc, the job is infinitely more safe.
If guess for fisherman, that wearing a life vest- common sense type stuff, is a life saver...All preventables.
Cops have NO such measures to take. They already Wear armor vests.

Schools out. The Spanking is over.
