honestly the whole "being a police officer is not even a dangerous job" is really non-intuitive, which probably means it's wrong. Being a police officer is a dangerous job, but through thorough training and institutional experience, they've managed to lean how to keep themselves safe in actively dangerous situations.

Landscapers and truck drivers never have to wrestle a large, non-compliant man into handcuffs or talk down domestic dispute that turned into a potential murder suicide.

Software engineers who sit on their computers all day and try to backseat drive on these issues should probably be dragged into the streets and set on fire.
