2. Police Officer – Life On The Line
Being a police officer has always been a dangerous job. Anything from a terrorist attack to a routine traffic stop could potentially put a police officer’s life in jeopardy. In 2015, over 100 police officers died while on duty, which creates stress on a day to day basis for most officers. But, in the last few years an entire new level of stress has consumed the brave men and women who uphold our laws.
The amount of controversy surrounding police violence, racism, and brutality has dominated the media, with protests in Ferguson and other specific American cities transcending into the nationwide Black Lives Matter movement. Police are obviously scared and wish to, justifiably, protect themselves from being shot. But when the ramifications of shooting a suspect who may or may not be armed becomes even more important than personal safety, the level of stress added to an already stressful job becomes immense.
