Cops say they are afraid for their safety. In other news fork found in kitchen

numerous professions are far more dangerous than being a cop. there are well over 700k cops in the US and only around 150 die each year (except during the pandemic when covid killed an extra thousand or so).

You are 100% correct.
Cops still say they are afraid.
I think many cops are afraid regardless of the facts. I mean, you have a bunch having panic attacks because they are in the general vicinity of fentanyl.

Don't blame fentanyl for cop psychopathy.

And that's not a defense of fentanyl.
