> Law enforcement can be dangerous but it's only #22 in occupational death rates.

The original post has been edited to no longer make the claim about policing being the most dangerous, but a direct refutation is not whataboutism.

The original post didn't say "the most dangerous" but "one of the hardest". That's what it said when I made my comment and my comment is within 3 minutes of the parent -- and I had been reading comments for a good few minutes before then.

On the long tail of possible professions, #22 is pretty damn close to the top.

There was no direct refutation made and the comment is CERTAINLY a Whataboutism.
