    I wish memes stating “facts” like this would be required to include their source. Not saying it isn’t true, but what’s the point of spreading it if it can be so easily denied for lack of proof?

      You can always just ask for a source.

      1. Police and sheriff’s patrol officers

      Fatal injuries in 2016: 14.6 per 100,000 workers

      1. Driver/sales workers and truck drivers

      Fatal injuries in 2016: 24.7 per 100,000 workers

      Not quite double but fairly close.

      Maybe it ought to be the thin garbage line, since garbage collectors face even more danger and are even more essential to society being able to function.
