Edit math and spelling, but check for yourself. Still the difference in magnitude is obvious and always has been.

Working pilots: https://www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/cwc/flying-too-high-workers-fatalities-in-the-aeronautics-field.pdf 80.5 per 100k/ year Police: https://www.bls.gov/iif/factsheets/fatal-occupational-injuries-police-2018.htm 13.7 per 100k/year No matter what year you find stats for, pilots outweigh police for death risk. Prove me wrong.
