It was a long article and I posted the link for those interested in reading it at their leisure. It doesn't change the fact that the data gathered was by an independent 3rd party. Nor does it change the fact that officer involved shootings have decreased markedly in NY since 1970.

Nothing I say would change your mind anyway. There's a big difference in attitudes between someone pushing a scout car 12 hrs a day vs a soft politically driven administrator. The vast majority of the rank and file never rise above patrolman.

The vast majority of the rank and file never rise above patrolman. I trust that this is your heartfelt belief. I think it is a belief that would comfort many of us if we could share it. I just find it incredulous that John Q. Law, Jr. is completely unlike and uninfluenced by John Q. Law, Sr. that preceded him, selected him, trained him, and directs him. I, also, understand how little it effectively matters, even if your heartfelt belief is accurate, since he is still under the direct order of these cops: ![[Linked Image]](https://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/2009/may/candleligh2b.jpg)

Nope, but you can work amongst many of the same conditions and stay alive.

No , but I have done logging, fishing, flying, construction, and "Supervisors, proprietors, sales" that are up to nearly seven times more dangerous. I and my colleagues were not oblivious to the risks, but we did not puff our chests and propagandize them either. Nor did Obama and Biden hold big official cheer leading events for any (very few would have wanted their cheers or to share their dais) of us. We were not, though, their Praetorian Guard protecting their power and privilege and enforcing their dictates. You made your rulers mighty, gave them guards,
So now you groan 'neath slavery's heavy rod.
~ Solon ![[Linked Image]](http://www.theepochtimes.com/n2/images/stories/large/2012/06/06/144247914.jpg) You should have stopped right there. 7 times more dangerous, GMAFB! TFF!! 
That's ok, I'll ass shoot a dink.

~ Solon You should have stopped right there. 7 times more dangerous, GMAFB! TFF!! OK, if you want to be an elementary school math teacher about it: Logging or fishing trade the slot as most dangerous jobs in almost all years and in the year cited fishing was 6.2647058823529411764705882352941 times more dangerous than law enforcement.
...that are up to nearly seven times more dangerous.
Seven was close enough for talking about government work.

Never heard of anyone on that "list" getting shot or killed. In fairness to Rover though, there are a lot of mafia types in the "refuse and recyclable material collectors" business", so maybe when a deal goes bad....

From the article and my posting where it was, also, in bold type: Y'all are just desperate ain't ya? You should not have placed all of your egos and 'golden eggs' in the same easily proven fake basket.

Sure it does, so does being any other Man.
