That seems like statistic fuckery. For example, taking all the times anyone has been injured walking across the street vs. all the times any cops are hurt on the job and dividing by time.
But that doesn't account for the fact that way more people are crossing the street pretty much constantly and that traffic accidents in general are one of the highest sources of death and injury.
Also, while being a cop might not be as dangerous as working in construction (depending on where you're a cop) the danger of construction is environmental. Accidents. Machinery. Etc etc.
The danger of being a cop is actively antagonistic people who are out to hurt you. And traffic. Maybe less danger in quantity, but I'd say more dangerous in quality.
