What the gently caress does this even mean? Is he saying nobody should try to flip a seat to the other party?

He's from a petty fiefdom meant to undermine democracy (some lovely, tiny red state with no population and even less brains) but from what I can tell he thinks that Senators shouldn't campaign against Senators because it would cause bad blood. There is actually some history and tradition to this stance, at least as far as senate leadership was concerned, but the GOP threw that out to oust Daschle back in the 00s

lol being a police officer is not even remotely one of the most dangerous jobs in the us

fishermen are literally 10x more likely to die on the job than a police officer. being a roofer or a garbageman is several times more dangerous

and the majority of police deaths are from auto accidents, mostly ones that are their own fault, and of those, like 25% are because they weren't wearing seatbelts

more police officers die from slipping and falling each year than from being shot / stabbed / etc.

police are giant loving pussies and they try really, really hard to make everyone think they are in harms way all the time but the average rando is 2-3 times more likely to be shot dead than a cop, depending on the city

statistically speaking the average cop (not counting SWAT et all) has a lower chance of dying than fishermen, contractors, trash men, and I think I wanna say landscapers but that may just be injury and not full on deaths.
