"That's actually not true. The part about it being one of the least dangerous jobs."

I think my reading comprehension is fine. The opposite of least, is most. This list (and many others like it), show policing is not nearly as dangerous as police unions would have you believe. It's true, danger doesn't necessarily correlate directly with death, but it's a large part of it. Firefighters have an inherently dangerous job because of the high rate of injuries and things like smoke inhalation.

It's completely true about it being one of the least dangerous jobs. Ranks 22 out of 25. As previously mentioned, many of the more recent deaths were COVID related. Historically, at least half of their on duty deaths were traffic accidents or heart attacks.
