That is not true. It is and has been a recognized risk for law enforcement officers.Until recently, neither did we.
But this is getting off-topic.

Did you think you were wearing that body armor because it looked good until recently?Until recently, neither did we.
I used to live in DC and saw the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial first hand, honoring over 20,000 officers who have died in the line of duty over many decades. Many more have been injured. The memorial is not new, it was established in 1984 and the deaths honored there include officers killed well before that. It has long been known by officers that their job involves that risk, one I appreciate them willing to assume. In our internet age, we see the news of it much more than we otherwise would have 30 years ago. I've not seen good statistics to know if the rate of death has increased substantially in recent years; perhaps it has. But officers doing the job today nevertheless know or should know that risk is there. I don't mean to diminish in any way that risk or sacrifice, but I think there isn't much parallel here to the OP's situation.Until recently, neither did we.
Oops! My bad...There was already reference made to posting history.
