No, I didn't say that they are wrong. My imagination is unlimited of course.
A shortcomming I see here is that the danger is reduced to fatalities as average over the whole profession.
There certainly are areas in the US where policing is extremely safe, everyone knows you by name, sponsors you a donut from time to time and is happy to see you. I would do it without a problem and this is probably true for most officers. But allow me to specify, I wouldn't want to be a police officer in urban areas with focal points in crime.
