    won’t

    I saw one story that alleged a police officer endangered himself to save others. The kind of thing police might want to quantify.

    Hmm…

    Anyone know if they have tried to quantify how often they put themselves in harm’s way? Some starting point for analysis (removing incidents that don’t meet strict criteria), eventually get to a number: “police endanger themselves less than x% of the time”

      Each year the U.S. pigs shoot and kill over a thousand people. They always claim, without exception, that those were dangerous situations (for the police).

      In reality, of course many of them were not, and the cops just murdered someone because fuck it, but it’s impossible to know exactly how often that occurs.

      A couple hundred pigs die each year, but they don’t break down those numbers. However, reliable data shows that the majority of on-duty deaths are traffic accidents, the majority of those are caused by the pigs themselves, either through carelessness, recklessness, or negligence.
