[QUOTE="Ana the Ist, post: 74027542, member: 302807"] We aren't comparing how dangerous different assaults are....we're comparing how dangerous different jobs are. The only job that involves assaults on the list are police. The supposed "dangers" of every other job involve some measure of human error. What are we comparing assaults to then? It's clearly not other assaults. Since you never brought up "distance traveled" until now...I'm not very confident that you understand your argument. Cool...so what are we comparing assaults to here? By that logic....with enough training, cops can avoid assault entirely. Do you understand that even if a cop performs his job 100% correctly, he still faces the risk of assault? We're only talking about assaults on cops though....what other assaults are you going to compare them to? That, or assaults are extremely dangerous situations that can require split second life and death decisions without any warning....and our cops are genuinely very good at their work. I suppose that would be a hard conclusion for some people to realize though....especially if they've bought into a heavily biased narrative about them. I imagine some of those people would have an easier time [I][B]believing that "assaults" are not really very "dangerous[/B][/I]". I mean, if the bullets don't hit you...you were never in any real danger, right? [/QUOTE]
