Maybe death rates don’t correspond with the balls needed to do a job.

Also it might be that there are a lot of people categorized as police who do jobs that aren’t too risky. When I think of police I think of the guys doing the jobs we see on the TV shows, but the numbers probably include federal police, folks that work at desks, training staff, management and so on. What are the death rates of people like Starsky and Hutch?
