Driving a car is why both are dangerous.
Edit: look up the most dangerous jobs BLS stats, and most common cause of death for almost all jobs is transportation related.

You have to define danger and timeframe. Here are some calculations.
Indeed. Iirc I contributed heavily to that thread with sources and it’s simply not true almost any way you slice it.
The closest proximity is using accidental vehicle deaths but it completely discounts the fact delivery drivers mostly deliver in town where speeds are low.
Unfortunately there’s no good data tracking for gig work yet which would be the nearest parable.
E: I was not lazy and found my old comment for sauce.
I don’t appreciate your common sense/rationalisation or water pouring/fun dampening on the internet. Please leave.
Yeah I’m just exhausted tolerating you cop hating retards. You’re so far gone you’re arguing in bad faith and using literally any bottom of the barrel numbers to say the dumbest bullshit.
Police were more likely to be killed by violence than most other positions (which are almost always accident/negligence related), although somewhat ironically their most likely cause of death in 2021 was covid
Just…WOW. In case anyone was wondering about how fucked the US police are.
And it really does contribute to society
A pizza can feed a family of four. A cop could feed his family of four if his wife and kids hadn’t left him for the domestic abuse reported amongst 40%* of all American cops.
- 40% is the self-reported figure. Unreported instances presumably would make the actual number much higher.
Pizza delivery people have to get out of their car in any weather. Cops only have to get out of their car if they feel like it. Also, cops don’t have to buy their own gas.
Not to mention the risk of being frozen for a thousand years.
