Imagine being a cop and having to deal with stuff like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8k4L97igDjY They literally save this man's life and he kills the guy who saved his life. Cops don't work in a safe space. Years of working in a violent and hateful environment must take a serious toll on them.

Before you downvote this comment, please consider that this is literally true.

In 2018, 150 US law enforcement officers died due to work related reasons. There were about 690,000 officers employed in America at that time. This means 21.7 out of every 100,000 officers died due to a work related reasons.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that about 25 out of every 100,000 driver/sales workers died due to work related reasons.

For both jobs, most of the deaths were accidental.
