There are more ways to harm a life than there are guns in the world. Just because a health professional gets a diploma and makes a promise doesn’t mean that worker will take good care of you or your loved one. There are plenty of cases all around the world where some health professionals killed tens of innocent people.

But this article is about US doctors vs US cops. And US doctors murder at a far lower rate. The argument isn't that doctors are perfect. The argument is that they are better than cops.

Health professionals are no different than cops or any other worker. There are good and bad professionals working in pretty much any domain. Good luck generalizing and classifying people into groups. That has always worked great throughout human history.
