Actually I think that you got the point of my comment even though you seem to be taking issue with it. *** It is so bad I've started to question all statistics and how they are stated since you can make them "prove" anything you wish if you state them right. *** Your 2nd to last paragraph makes me positive you got my point since there you are agreeing with it. As for the last sentence that you wrote, no kidding. I hope you didn't so misread what I wrote that you think I don't see that.
I was not trying to claim that police work is the most dangerous job and I just did an article on Medium that pointed out the difference in killed in the line of duty and shot dead in the line of duty upon statistics. I left that out of my reply here in hopes that in the spirit of what I wrote someone would catch it.
Quibbling over the difference in per capita rates on the order of 0.0006% is making a mountain out of a mole hill for political purpose. You are more likely to die in a crash driving on a road full of idiots than from driving while black on a road with cops. Mixing proving anything with the way you use statistics with a lack of proportionality and perspective takes us down a bad road to the land of bad ideas.
Thanks for reading and thinking about my comments though what the most dangerous jobs in America are is a different subject. I was writing about different truthful expressions of data can be used to support ideas in opposition.
