It’s the 7th most dangerous job in the US-wouldn’t want to ask too much of them. Policing ranks 22nd.

Well for one, your original comment was unrelated rambling.

Two, way to site your source. I'm sure the actual stat is transportation/drivers/delivery drivers, which includes a lot more than your everyday pizza delivery guy. I'm sure you're not purposely being misleading.

For another follow-up, a little bit of difference from dying in a car crash vs. actively going after someone with a gun. Dying is dying, but acting like a car crash is the same as people shooting at each other, give me a break.

I generally pick up own pizza though, less waiting and cheaper.

Even if it's just food service they are regularly robbed, and more likely to die of violence than police.

But it is fair to say we don't want this guy escalating and hurting anyone, police or not. I think what you were saying is "think of the police before you wish this guy commits suicide by cop". Which is great. But at a glance it also reads that you'd consider withholding justice to spare the police. Which prompted the "other dangerous jobs" discussion.

Food service and everything to go with it, not delivery drivers.....again taking a larger group and comparing it to smaller, but ok.

I wouldn't withhold anything. Send in cops to get the guy, it's their job and part of what they signed up to do, but hoping for that outcome is fucked up.
