So being black and committing crimes isn't a job?
It is for Obama.
Looks like being male is an occupational health risk.
I think bankers must not have been considered because it's not honorable job, but it has to be high on that list from nail guns to oral cancer.
Nothing beats working the night shift at Speedy Mart in a ghetto area.
So looks like being a cop isnt the most dangerous job.....so why are they armed to the teeth?
Arm Fisherman....although part time...I am one!!!
RIPS
let the cops go fishing...
WooHoo! Made the top ten!!!
Being a taxpayer is the most dangerous job there is.
The cops can do whatever they like when they are allowed to be fired...
RIPS
It would have been nice to see the stats on the number of deaths due to nail guns.

"So looks like being a cop isnt the most dangerous job.....so why are they armed to the teeth?"
Always good to be heavily armed when robbing people of their Life, Liberty and Property, levying war, treason.
Always good to be well armed to stave off the inevitable Retribution over your treason.
Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission.
Well armed sheeple produce little fleece, and no mutton.
They're down toward the bottom of the list, hiding behind everyone else as usual.
Accidental slip and falls from 12 story buildings too.
I always heard it was aircraft carrier fighter pilot and mycologists who specialize in edible mushroom identification. Both have those 'oops' moments but crash and burn in different ways.
" There are old mushroom collectors and bold mushroom collectors but no old bold mushroom collectors" was my Field Mycology professors famous quip. I always cringed when she would walk in the room with a bag and exclaim " We have vomit everyone!" which meant some poor little kid was in the ER awaiting our diagnosis from his stomach pumping. For some reason I was always nervous eating at her house. Dear God I hope that twinge is gas.

This is what I tell my wife all the time... despite all of our modern technology, buildings are still built one screw, one bolt, one board, one piece of steel at a time.... BY HAND, BY MEN. The shit is fucking dangerous. And even if by some miracle you make it 30 years and collect your retirement..... The average carpenter for instance, only collects 13 checks before dying.
lol my wife has a cunt of a friend who is a teacher. this bitch was complaining that she wasnt allowed to read books or magazines and shit while administering a standardized test. the bitches in the room were all in indignant agreement. I was just like "i know a roofer who just broke his backk....... what was it you were bitching about again?". crickets. lol.
When I first worked in trauma I was shocked how many accidents were men falling off buildings in construction sites. Many died. Real eye opener for me and I truly appreciated the danger involved.
Many years ago we got a Crane operator and I assumed it was another industrial accident. Turned out he had the shit beat out of him by his fellow workers. This guy had been notoriously slack on safety and cut corners any chance he got. He had killed a man with a steel girder and the guys decided for some on the spot justice. I really had to mentally high five them. Never would have seen this in my woman dominated field.

It is a shame there are not more banksters falling off buildings. Especially senior management and majority shareholders like David Rockefeller not the middle management guys of late.
I could fill up 2 or 3 NSA servers with stories of crazy shit I've seen on construction sites.... The dude I saw get his face melted off with 700 degree hot tar still gives me fucking nightmares..... Real horror show, my droogies.
We had a wall hall of fame for all the X-rays of nail gun injuries. Head, chest, thighs... Just unbelievable. Mr tried to get me to use his Brad nailer for a project and I was practically shaking just holding it. " God Sweetie get a grip. There are safeties on the thing, you'd have to be a real idiot to hurt yourself with it"
Band saws too. He laughs when I beg him to cut my dog's Bully Bones up because I cant even watch. Frankly guys, you have my respect.
Miffed
Problem solved...

Another job category going down the shithole.
But hey, isn't life better with a penis?
Lets all observe a moment of silence for our fallen heroes
They die so we have the freedom to throw away shit
Plus they don't typically steal or murder.
Being black in the USA is a crime and trying to not get killed by cops is definitely a job.
Stick out your can, here comes the garbageman.
One half hillbilly and one half punk.
Did somebody say "Reverend Horton Heat"?
Psychobilly!
Not full-time, no.
But it can lead to many fine opportunities for job retraining benefits.
Same for white people, too, by the way.
I'm not real concerned what color the trash is.
Banking is at the bottom. They are leaving out oll those falling from buildings and nail gun trageties.
And JPM shitgum testers.
lol. ;-)
Can we finally put to rest how dangerous it is to be a police officer?
The local police union spokesman answers "No."
Um. Aircraft pilots?
Flight training, military, crop dusters, fire suppression.
But yeah, not airline pilots.
Every air tanker (fire suppression) base has a memorial to dead air attack pilots. This is what "dangerous job" looks like:

Paper mills are extremely dangerous,
and all but obsolete.
Back in the day I had two different runs to the papermill.
First one was horrifying. Guy had been poking logs with a stick or something as they went by on the conveyor. Wound up with his arm sucked under the belt and through the rollers. The only thing that saved him was that his face was slammed into the safety shut-off.Before they started cutting the inch thick rubber of the belt, we tied a tournequet as close to his shoulder as possible. I then stood by with a full air air splint. When they cut that rubber off, his arm was a shredded gory mass about a half inch thick. It was almost normal size by the time we got it into the air splint. Took him to the hospital and that's all I know about him.
Second time...Told we weren't needed as we were getting out. Whatever the guy had been doing was just before the final presses. They wound up with a monstrous roll of Christmas paper.
#1) Napping during NORK Pep Talk.
He won't do that no moe, no moe...
That guy was killed so bad he died twice.
I expect 'Retail Salespersons' to make it to the top of the list once the full impact of Hope&Change are realized.
'give me yo money cracka'
One year, convenience store clerks had a higher death rate than coal miners.
That year convenience store clekrs were more likely to be killed than any other occupation. Taxi drivers were also high on the list.
and people wonder why cops shoot people is some of these neighborhoods. people who dont understand why nigs get shot, havent spend enough time around nigs...
I see police are far down the list. If they keep shooting people that may change.

How about motorcyle gang members in Texas? A bunch of those idiots won the Darwin Award today. Hopefully their shitty Harleys will be confiscated and melted down for scrap. Retards.
All male dominated fields, I guess we should get some feminists in those jobs for equality.
Examples of male privilege?? The feminists prefer sticking with false pay equity statistics.
bookmark this and bring it out every time some feminazi starts spouting about inequality.
Tyler do you go outside and see your garbage men? They're swinging off the end of the truck with one arm while the driver accelerates through a curve. Plus they're all fat. Eventually that arm is going to give out and spat them under someone's suburban.
The other ones are oblivious. Large inanimate objects swinging in the air. Physics don't care if you're in the way.
My garbage collector sits in an air conditioned truck operating the claw arm to empty the cans and watching the camera to be sure I haven't put too many recycleable cans and green waste into the landfill barrel.
Yeah the Nigger who picks up my garbage barrels with the claw was texting and fucking off in front of my drive way. I had to blow the horn of my truck to get the shiftless spook to move.
Damn, I hate it when those working darkies get between me and my daily EBT shopping spree.
Shiftless spook. Lol
look deeper into the stats for cops -a lot of those deaths are from things like heart attacks and other natural cases that uccured during their work hours -likely would have died anyway
The biggest cause of cop deaths is auto accidents caused by the cop... while he's (illegally) not wearing his seat belt.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pdJxt9gIgM&noredirect=1
One of the best was an Florida native (southerner) female state trooper chasing down a Miami PD cuban cop speeding. She arrested him too. She was freaking hero. Fortunately, her bosses backed her up.
The main cause of deaths on the job for cops is car accidents. Just like Domino's drivers, taxi drivers, route drivers, etc. But so few cops die on the job, even with these included, they don't even make the list of dangerous jobs.
So picking strangers up and sitting with your back to them is not a sound life choice?
If picking up = kidnapping then no.
No, but initiating encounters with random people for nefarious reasons, walking up their car with a gun strapped to your hip, then assaulting them can sometimes have consequences.
What if we all started doing that? Just strapping on our pistols and randomly start pulling people over and hassling them, beating them, taking their money, their cars, their drugs, and stuff?
Methinks that could be a dangerous job because without the magic shield, people will just shoot the assailant.
Weird how they decided to ad two general purpose construction manager types and two or 3 more general purpose helper/laborer categories instead of putting them with their respective trades.
Work a day on a Trash Truck, and see how many assholes try to run over you.
" Work a day on a Trash Truck", and see how many assholes try to run over TO YOU.
One mans trash is another mans treasure...
Living in the woods I was amazed at the garbage truck that came by while I was at the OBX. They drove up to the garbage can, a metal arm came out the side of the truck, grabbed the can and lifted it up and over the truck and dumped it out. Then it set the can back down. No one got out of the truck. Sweet.
Yeah them automated arms are nice.. plus they never find the Body till it's all mashed up and dirty, check that for dna and fibers, Mo Fo...
Next on Discovery, The Deadliest Trash
And male military serving personnel? Causes of death 1980-1993.
1) Accidents (61%)
2) Natural causes (17%)
3) Suicide (13%)
4) Homicide (5%)
5) Hostile action and freiendly fire (each 2%)
Not surprised to see Iron Workers up toward the top of the list. I worked construction for over 25 years and saw a shitload of people die.... most being iron workers (them and elevator guys). They're either drunk, high or both most of the time. Saw a crew of them once accidently kill their boss. When you see those guys..... you go work somewhere else.
somehow i don't think they are talking about fishing guides.
never fuck with a cab driver without a gun.......and you wonder why every color of cab driver refuses to pick up black people, besides for not tipping.
cops are pussies and they have to be really stupid to be so heavily armed and armored and still let people kill them. an experienced cab driver could give them lessons in survival(communicating effectively with someone who wants to kill you when you are unarmed).
I expect 'Financial Operations Jobs' to move up on the list in the coming years.
Call me optimistic I guess..
and yet our corporate media idolized the police and lies to us about how dangerous the police officers job is ...lies lies lies
Aircraft Pilots are #3?
Does that include those with suicidal tendencies, or just those who drink on the job?
Also wondering if Fishers includes Lobstermen, Oystermen, Crabbers, etc. I'm sure it does. Something seems off about the rate at which death from "contact with equipment" occurs. Seems like that would be more frequent, but since Roofers are displayed in all yellow (falls) I'm guessing it's well tabluated.
How about 11 Bravos?
They collect a paycheck and die often.
In bootcamp I prayed I wouldn't be chosen for 0311. Thank God my high scores put me into MOS 5921. 3rd LAAM Bn rocked!
Banker has been a dangerous line of work lately.
Sometimes it's not only if you die but how you die. If you die while working iron you fall and go splat or have someone drop something on you, the latter may result in a murder. Oil extraction and logging would be some of your more gruesome deaths.
I received a panicked phone call from a friend working on an oil rig located near my home. I arrived before OSHA and the corporate attorneys, while laying down a rig the bridle line was pulled to tight and snapped. Long story short the derrick hand narrowly missed being decapitated and one courageous individual threw at least 4 other people out of the way to catch an enormous weight on the top of his head, he became bone fragments and soup.
The derrick hand almost died again slipping on this soup trying to disembark off of the rig.The man was actually a truck driver who was due to retire the next week, he saw they were an inexperienced crew who were struggling and jumped out to help. Strangely,he northern lights appeared above the rig that night, in the lower 48, in the middle of summer.
Another incident in "various extraction" that sticks in my mind was an individual who was either welding a tank battery or checking a flowback tank when there was a small explosion. He was blown off the tank and somehow pinned underneath while on fire. Poor bastard lived for a week or two.
Turns out being a cop isn't all that bad.
It's hard to imagine how garbage collectors could have such dangerous jobs. Those trucks they drive look like they'd stand up pretty well in any accident.
Many of the 'lesser' outfits dont drug test often. AND..........run their trucks till they fly apart. The guy I mentioned, in a later post, drove a truck with mostly bald tires and faulty brakes. How they get past whatever inspections they are supposed to do I don't know.
ok, the stats are in.
I gotta stop fishing with my chainsaw.
Pouring concrete building a dam. You slip and fall into the concrete , they keep pouring
Security guard is no joke. Been stabbed once, had guns pulled on me twice (one resulted in return fire by me), and had to keep one guy from killing another guy, which almost got me stabbed again if I would've been a little closer.
A large majority of nights are calm; but when you have a bad night, you have a BAD night.
One of my tennants drives a trash truck. He's stoned 24/7. No kidding.
Oh yeah, he has throat cancer, too.
