I think ALL cops are hard working guys who want the American dream.
I also think that it's human nature to do certain things when you are given almost unlimited power over people and those people can't do anything to stop you.
As for the "working conditions"...99.9% of the cops I see are on traffic patrol collecting money for the city/county/state and raising rates for the auto insurance companies.
As for "danger"...sometimes shit does happen. But as that link that the OP posted showed, it's not even close to being the most dangerous job you can have.
The vast majority of times, cops show up AFTER the crime has already happened (they aren't wizards who can magically be there when a crime is being committed). They fill out reports and do paperwork.
And yeah, every once in a while something may come up where a FEW cops MIGHT be involved in an actual dangerous situation. Hopefully not one that they instigated themselves (which is often times the case).
