Keep in mind they may get 100K+ in exchange of putting their lives in danger occasionally.

In the US, police work doesn't even make the top 10 most dangerous professions. You wouldn't know it from listening to them whine, though.

Is it more dangerous than what you do?

Could police work be less dangerous because of adequate training, equipment and protocols? The danger is still there, mitigated.

How is that relevant? If it's out of a total of 11 professions, that's even worse than if it were out of every single job out there.

Out of every profession tracked by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.
