Fair enough, but in reality his job isn't even the top ten most dangerous. Truck drivers, taxi drivers, roofers and window cleaners all fair far worse.
Should truck drivers also be able to use "appropriate force" when they feel endangered by the driving of a member of the public? Bonus points if he's black.
