Being a police officer is less dangerous than logging,
fishing, flying an airplane, collecting trash, being an electrician, delivery driver, lawn maintenance, roofing, ... <7 other job categories>.
Why is it okay for cops to kill people because they're "scared" when it's not okay for people in any of those other jobs to do so?
> Few people ever speak of the 150[1] officers killed on average per year in the line of duty.
If by “few people” you mean basically everyone, and every business, and every government everytime it happens, often with massive public memorial parades, etc., sure.
No one talks about lack of accountability for it because there is decidedly not such a lack of accountability, but people talk about the thing itself all the time.
Incidentally, abolishing the police also addresses that problem.
