"Pretty sure I've never heard of a developer being murdered during a pull request."

Pretty sure developer isn't the line for "very dangerous job".

I agree, but the feeling I was getting from joesmo was that law enforcement was just another job, with little risk.

  • Compared to many blue collar jobs, that's the case. By the numbers, it's about twice as dangerous as being a car mechanic and significantly less so than being a construction worker. Further, most deaths of police officers on duty aren't from violence.
