Leading Cause Of Death For Cops For 3rd Year: Drumroll please....

[NoleATL]

COVID!

ABC News reports:

COVID-19 remained the leading cause of law enforcement deaths in 2022 despite the number attributed to the virus dramatically declining.
A new report by the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund looked at preliminary data and found that 226 federal, state, tribal and local law enforcement officers died last year while in the line of duty.
Of those deaths, 70 can be attributed to COVID-19. However, this is an 83% decline compared to the 405 officers who died from COVID-19 complications in 2021.

Read the full article. Sixty-four police officers were killed by gunfire in 2022. As you may recall, considering COVID to be a “line of duty” death was hotly debated at the start of the pandemic.

 

[NoleATL]

The reduction from 405 to 70 is a nice improvement, however.

And the point is?

Team Red is killing cops.

 

[lucas80]

Does it break it down state by state? I assume in Tennessee and Florida that accidental deaths in hot tub orgies with other cops and their spouses would be pretty high up the list.

 

[hawkland14]

Team Red is killing cops.

Lol quite a conclusion there lucas. Would love to hear the full rationale?

 

[NoleATL]

And the point is?

Covid is the leading cause of death for cops. Jeez, I thought it said that right in the article.

 

[HawkinK.C.1]

My nickname for my Golden Retriever is "Cop killer." He's pretty hard on those pigs too.

UNPOSSIBLE

I was informed by the GOP Minions on here that Covid was Over.

Cops are props to you guys. Nothing more. Props in pretty uniforms. You guys don’t do dick to keep them safe from guns, you guys don’t provide the mental health resources they need, and to top it off you peddle hokum to them.

 

[tumorboy]

And the point is?

Cops are fat.

 

[Gimmered]

Covid is the leading cause of death for cops. Jeez, I thought it said that right in the article.

Are there other professions where the only place you can contract COVID is on the job or is this just a cop phenomenon?

 

[notlongago]

Covid is considered in the line duty?
Do you get to claim disability due to covid in other fields of work?

UNPOSSIBLE

I was informed by the GOP Minions on here that Covid was Over.

Which GOP minion made this statement on national TV?
"The pandemic is over," he said. "We still have a problem with COVID. We're still doing a lot of work on it. But the pandemic is over. If you notice, no one's wearing masks. Everybody seems to be in pretty good shape, and so I think it's changing, and I think [the Detroit auto show resuming after three years] is a perfect example of it."

In Florida it is.

Cops watch too many rightwing news sources, that tell them "vaccines are bad".

You're seeing the expected result here.

 

[Joes Place]

Yep. We do.

Link?


And what keeps them from contracting it anywhere but on the job?

 

[BubsFinn]

Is that because cops tend to be overweight and lead largely sedentary lifestyles?

 

[notlongago]

Yep. We do.

So which GOP minion made that statement? Stay on topic or don't reply.

 

[notlongago]

In Florida it is.

If they die of cancer or heart attack, does that count as in the line of duty too?

 

[hawkland14]

Cops are props to you guys. Nothing more. Props in pretty uniforms. You guys don’t do dick to keep them safe from guns, you guys don’t provide the mental health resources they need, and to top it off you peddle hokum to them.

Work harder for Team Blue. They are counting on you.

 

[runkpanole]

If they die of cancer or heart attack, does that count as in the line of duty too?

I think it is a case by case basis. There is a presumption of it being duty related for firefighters.

Interesting. Never heard of that

 

[Bearhawk0505]

And the point is?

Get vaccinated! Especially if you are in a profession always around people. It is simply about maximizing your survival.

 

[The Tradition]

Well, it's pretty much impossible to arrest someone from six feet away....

 

[Joes Place]

Link?

You know they predominantly follow conservative news media.

 

[Joes Place]

So which GOP minion made that statement?

None did.

They deny, entirely "Covid is still a problem"

Try to keep up.

 

[Gimmered]

You know they predominantly follow conservative news media.

And that make it impossible for them to catch COVID from anywhere but their jobs how? And also, you're full of shit anyway. Link to said facts!

LOLWUT?

It's the leading cause of death for them. More than likely, because they support Republicans, and believe the anti-vax nonsense and don't get vaccinated.

Self-PWN.

A new report released Wednesday by the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund looked at preliminary data and found that 226 federal, state, tribal and local law enforcement officers died last year while in the line of duty.

Of those deaths, 70 can be attributed to COVID-19.


No Joe, you're wrong again. Still waiting for the link Joe.

Hey Einstein, perhaps you actually should read your own link....COVID was first, firearms were second with 64, traffic accidents third

 

[HIWILLE]

I wonder what the percentages of cops with their shots and cops without their shots is nation wide.Not arguing about this Just wanted to know. myself I would like everyone to get one at least once.

Seems to me like the COVID deaths per 100,000 for law enforcement is really low anyway. Maybe more people need to turn to Fox News.

Maybe @Joes Place could give us a fair comparison to other occupations.

Police covid vaccination rates are below the average.

 

[Gimmered]

Police covid vaccination rates are below the average.

How about deaths per 100,000? These were Federal, State, Local, and Tribal.

This is a nothing burger to me. I don't care if one if vaccinated or not. Just pointing out a known fact.

Yeah, there could be a couple different takeaways from this thread. @Joes Place wants to blame the cons for this high number, without establishing it is a high number at all. @NoleATL seems to want more Cops shot to death.

Also, link to known fact?
