Also, it should be noted that while, on average, the amount of danger police face is less than portrayed in popular media, there are areas that are much more dangerous to be an officer than others. There are cops that face way more danger than I'd want to on the daily, but it just isn't most cops like most people seem to think. There are many jobs, on average, much more dangerous than being a police officer, on average. But we don't seem to give passes to truck drivers, farmers, maintenance workers (including landscape workers like TW), construction workers, roofers, loggers, pilots, garbage collectors, and fisherman, among others (being a fishermen, btw, is about 8 times more deadly a profession than being a police officer). None of this is to say they don't have a hard job, of course. But I do agree, the danger of the job is not an excuse to not do the job with the proper temperament and constraint.
