mr peters shows where the real risks are and it ain't for cops;

The other day, a psychopath lit an apparently homeless woman on fire as she was sleeping inside a New York City subway car. As horrific as that was to see, it was almost as appalling to see no one trying to help the woman as she burned to death while bystanders watched.

Aren’t cops supposed to “serve and protect“?

We hear a lot about that – and the related bleat that being an armed government worker (which is an etymologically honest description) is such a dangerous profession that armed government workers live in fear that they “might not come home” at the end of their shift. This bleat is both poltroonerous and wrong insofar as the facts.

Being an armed government worker isn’t even among the Top Ten Most Dangerous occupations, according to the government’s own data. It is more dangerous, in fact, to be a garbage collector – which is honest work – than it is to be an armed government worker..........more...........
