Would it have anything to do with police officers having training and tools that are specifically used to avoid injury and death?

Maybe for themselves but they sure do cause injury and death to others. And besides, most officer on the job deaths are from eating too many donuts and getting cardiac failure (which pretty much all the "death on the job" stats for police conveniently avoid mentioning)

1 cop got killed and they shut down new york and every other cop did a fascist march through the streets, so now that you mention it yeah that would be disruptive if they were being killed at half the rate of delivery drivers

Oh sure I get written up if I call to make a doctor's appointment during work hours, but cops get to run their weekend errands during work. Typical.
