Or doing the pursuits at all, for that matter.

In a society where the government is surveiling every other person and have cameras everywhere, the old "if we don't get our perp now he's gone forever" trope is bullshit.

As much as they make for entertaining TV and make cops feel all macho and accomplished, car chases are COMPLETELY unnecessary reckless endangerment in almost all cases.

‘Not following policy’ means they don’t wear their seatbelts. Cops are so fucking stupid.

IIRC, automobile accidents are the number one cause of death for on duty police deaths.

It was neck-and-neck with gun deaths, one outpacing the other and then swapping places, until CoViD.

Oftentimes their own fault not following policy during pursuits.

What makes you say that?

In large part because pizza deliverers aren't allowed to carry a gun and trained to fight off attackers.

How risky is a cop’s job, really? They have the full force of the entire government on their side, and an arsenal on their waist, and an even bigger arsenal in their vehicle. With a quick click on the radio, and they have a nearly unlimited army who will come to their aid, all armed to the teeth as well, and willing to back any cockamamie story he tells.

You kinda answer your own question; those are the exact reasons why it's not that dangerous these days.

That aside, nobody backing you up can teleporter, so cops act like they're on their own until backup arrives - because they are.

Or military grade axes 🤷🏻

Sadly, falling trees are neither deterred by nor stopped with a gun, as opposed to people who attack cops.

This combines fixed wing and helicopters, Look up the stats on remote bush pilots and helicopter pilots it makes a lot more sense

Fail to land correctly a commercial plane. Either:

• 200 to 400 people die, including you (passenger plane)
• You and your crew die, and almost all of the cargo is wasted (cargo plane)
• You and your crew still die, but also a public figure and their agents/family/friends/cronies (private jet).

Fortunately landing a plane is only done by the most trained experts.

Can't really compare a position that only 45 people have had over a 250 year period with regular jobs, though.

Besides, the last time a president died in office, my boomer dad was 12 years old. The last time a logfighter died on the job was probably some time this month if not this week.

The people who go around in big trucks to collect the garbage. Also known as garbage collectors, bin men, sanitation workers, etc.

MC Grindah is a prime example of a garage man

Those are amateur numbers. Trump will raise them

they use that as the excuse to get away with killing people who are no threat to them.
