According to federal labor statistics, roofing is the #5 most dangerous profession in the US behind logging and farmwork. Police Officer doesn't even crack the top 25.

LOL. Those studies are flawed! They only count danger as actual injuries and dying on the job! They don't count how sometimes being a police officer is scary!

This has got to be the dumbest argument I’ve seen on Reddit this month. You have absolutely no fucking clue what it’s like being a cop if you think it’s constant shootouts and “hands on fighting with criminals.” Lmfao

The data would support it if it was actually that dangerous. The data isn’t flawed, your perspective is. Danger that cops face is extremely well documented. Way more than workplace injuries, that’s for sure.

Just because a roofer slips off a roof and dies doesn’t make the job dangerous.

Uhhh, yes it does? What do you think the word 'dangerous' means?

danger is the risk of harm or death.

But supposedly that’s more dangerous then responding to physical fights, domestics, criminals and or mentally disturbed people with weapons, people who will fight to avoid prison, etc etc? Make it make sense

You're a cop, so I'll explain it the most straightforward way I know how:

If danger is the risk of harm or death, and roofers get hurt more and die more than cops, then there is more danger to roofers than there is to cops. It's pretty simple if you think about it.
