[quote=davelj]I can’t imagine why cops would die any younger on average than other folks. Interesting.

Stress? I’m not saying that other jobs don’t have stress, but it’s a different kind of stress. Being shot at or running into a burning building is a different kind of stress than the kind you get from trying to make a deadline or make X amount of sales. Not to mention the emotional damage caused by the death of friends/colleagues in the field, etc. Seeing charred corpses, abandoned crack babies, etc. PTSD?
