except they are taught to think this way, and its irrational - police officers are safer today than at any time in the last 20 years. Their training is full of the rhetoric of "warriors" and "war zones", and their gear is that of a military kill squad.

Policing has been getting safer for 20 years. In terms of raw number of deaths, 2013 was the safest year for cops since World War II. If we look at the rate of deaths, 2013 was the safest year for police in well over a century. At the current pace, we can expect to see a 17 percent increase in on the job law enforcement fatalities this year over last year. That would put the total number of police officers who die on the job this year at 117, making 2014 the second safest year for cops in terms of raw fatalities since 1959. It would also put 2014 as the safest year for fatality rates in over a century. You’re more likely to be murdered simply by living in about half of the largest cities in America than you are while working as a police officer.

Fox Butterfield where are you? . . . .
Has it crossed your mind that they are safer because they are more cautious and paranoid, if you prefer that word, about the dangers?
