not every civil servant is in danger all the time
there are many professions with more deaths and higher percentage of death,,,but it is terrible to think of anyone losing a loved one, and the mourning,,,,,its not something a decent person would wish on anyone,,
No, your right.. I don't recall the last time a city clerk was shot at or killed for doing their job. or the meter reader, zoning officer, ect, ect
But Cops... we'll that's another story. They do get shot at and killed.. sometimes murdered, for doing their job... and it is growing.
And the thread is about cops getting shot...right?
technicaly , cops being 'killed',, source of death didnt seem to have to be specific,,
many professions are entered into with the knowledge of risk of death
and even those professions (including police) are dangerous based upon the wHERE and not the WHAT
some military are chefs on the base, risk of danger is next of zero
some military are gunners or sergeants sent into war torn areas,, risk of danger is high
some officers are behind desks, or in areas with next to no violent crime, with risk of next to zero
some are in high crime areas, with much more risk
point was, its not the profession thats any more dangerous than other risky professions,, its the AREA where the profession is carried out,,
