>Policing has to be one of the hardest jobs in our modern society
I'm guessing "our modern society" refers to the United States and not modern society as a whole.
As far as I can tell, in my country, only two police officers have died on the job between the years 2000 and 2016. There also seems to be a wide disparity in people who get killed by a police officer. It seems more like it's just inherently more dangerous to be American, whether or not you're a police officer or not.
