Sorry didn't see deputy, police, firefighter on this list. You claim you have a dangerous job?
ReplyDeleteThey have to work to make this list.
DeleteAll these professions are dangerous. The issue is these people do not fall at the hands of another human being while serving and protecting society. If in fact if police work is so safe why is the county so reluctant to provide a disabilty to the deputies?? It sounds like a no brainer to me. Just saying

ReplyDeleteIf I can remember correctly, in Maryland the last 3 or 4 police that were killed while on duty were from car accidents. I think they need to slow down.

4:21 It's that safe why spend the money. If they want it so bad why don't they have a policy paid for by FOP dues? Dues pay for their lawyers, yet county provide lawyers for free. I bet sheriff's office have more accident than any other department? I remember one month, one deputy totalled two vehicles and both made the news.
ReplyDeleteFarmers/construction workers don't have to worry about being murdered and assaulted routinely. Those trades are dangerous due to accidents.
ReplyDeleteState troopers die from not stopping in time when they get to the scene. Sorry, but slow the hell down. Numbers don't lie, but LEO and Firemen do.
ReplyDeleteWhen was the last time a LE officer died on the job in Wicomico County?
ReplyDelete5:49 most of the deputies injures are from vehicle accidents.
