    Thats because cops are trained to kill.,. They kill more than 1000 using guns in USA each year (that doesn’t include chokings and other methods)

      I was once told you rob a delivery man for his pizza not his cash as the police won’t do shit for theft of pizza.

        Also, all we’re expected to do in that situation is remake the pizza and deliver it. As long as no one is being hurt, I wouldn’t mind someone just holding me up for the pizza, I guess.

      When I managed a pizza place, people would ask if the driver could bring change for $100. I’d tell them if they wanted to leave a $50 tip, the driver can give them his $20.

          One time a dude was really blazed and handed a driver a $50 bill instead of a 5, but that’s the only time I can think of outside especially large orders.

    I wonder how many of the deaths are violence versus traffic accidents from being made to drive all the time under time pressure.

    Sad either way.

    Also, I don’t care if being a cop is the most dangerous job in the world, fuck 'em in the eye with a cold spoon.

    Roofers, landscapers, construction workers, garbage collectors, truck drivers and farmers are all in much more dangerous and essential occupations than those choosing to be police officers. Police officers just complain the loudest.

    Police officers cause much more death in the population than they are subjected to “in the line of duty”. They are net aggressors.

      The Deliverator belongs to an elite order, a hallowed sub-category. He’s got esprit up to here. Right now he is preparing to carry out his third mission of the night. His uniform is black as activated charcoal, filtering the very light out of the air. A bullet will bounce off its arachno-fiber weave like a wren hitting a patio door, but excess perspiration wafts through it like a breeze through a freshly napalmed forest. Where his body has bony extremities, the suit has sintered armorgel: feels like gritty jello, protects like a stack of telephone books.

      When they gave him the job, they gave him a gun. The Deliverator never deals in cash, but someone might come after him anyway–might want his car, or his cargo. The gun is a tiny, aero-styled, lightweight, the kind of a gun a fashion designer would carry; it fires teensy darts that fly at five times the velocity of an SR-71 spy plane, and when you get done using it, you have to plug it in to the cigarette lighter, because it runs on electricity.

        I love many things about that book. Not the last among them is the author deciding to, and actually getting away with, naming the main character “Hiro Protagonist.”

    FWIW I’d take the statistic with a GIANT grain of salt because it looks like bullshit absolutely is bullshit lol. The Oppression Olympics gets old quick.

    The cherry picked data is coming from, a literal scuzzy Lawyer Group blog post misrepresenting data? All you have to do is look at row 3 on the 2nd image which I screenshot from the BLS to see that VAST MAJORITY of that statistic is from literal semi drivers. Not people driving 31 mph around town with your Taco Bell.

    Out of the 1032 fatal driver injuries, 72 were from delivery drivers. 51 of which was from car accidents. 11 were from person/animal deaths. 10 are literally unexplained lol.

    Someone else will have to extrapolate the estimate for total number of actual local food/restaurant delivery to deaths. Vs police officers (129/660,288 in 2021, 73 of which were feloniously killed… Somehow the BLS has zero listed lol.) to death.

    There was a 16.3-percent increase in deaths for driver/sales workers and truck drivers which went up to 1,032 deaths in 2021 from 887 deaths in 2020. This was the primary factor behind the increase in fatalities to workers in transportation and material moving occupations which reached a series high in 2021"

    Protective service occupations (such as firefighters, law enforcement workers, police and sheriff’s patrol officers, and transit and railroad police) had a 31.9-percent increase in fatalities in 2021, increasing to 302 from 229 in 2020. Almost half (45.4 percent) of these fatalities are due to homicides (116) and suicides (21). About one-third (33.4 percent) are due to transportation incidents, representing the highest count since 2016.

      Yeah, even when it comes to being a cop the most dangerous part is all the driving you do. Suicide is the number one killer for cops, then traffic incidents, then everything else. It’s a difficult job, but it’s not even in the top ten when it comes to dangerous jobs. The real difficultly is just dealing with people who refuse to be nice to you and lie constantly while you have to figure out what’s going on. Nobody is happy to see a cop, and that’s why he job sucks.

        Yep, even your first part has slowly been changing in recent years. With police calling off chases almost immediately, they’re dying less in accidents. They’ve actually died more and more by felonious deaths than anything else in the more recent decade… They’ve almost always been shot more.

        According to statistics reported to the FBI, 129 law enforcement officers were killed in line-of-duty incidents in 2021. Of these, 73 died as a result of felonious acts and 56 in accidents.

        Five- and 10-year comparisons show an increase of 27 felonious deaths when compared with the 2017 figure (46 officers) and 25 when compared with 2012 data (48 officers).

          Glad to hear about the first part, chasing people has been proven to be dangerous and mostly pointless. Not happy to hear about the second part, though it’s not exactly surprising given the sharp increase in gun ownership thanks to the pandemic.
