That's all fine and dandy, but that reputable source should really go a little deeper than just rates.
Using that same list but then looking into it in terms of how dangerous are these jobs are in raw numbers, it looks like this
Drivers / sales workers and truck drivers - 683
Farmers and ranchers - 300
Police and sheriff's patrol officers - 133
Industrial machinery repair and installation - 96
Aircraft pilots and flight engineers - 70
Roofers - 57
Logging workers - 59
Fishers and related fishing workers - 29
Refuse and recyclable material collectors - 26
Mining machine operators - 23
Its silly to even suggest that policing isnt a dangerous job, it really is no matter what anecdotal evidence some may want to spin. There is a reason they have to carry firearms afterall.
