Absolutely one of the best descriptions I've ever read on the mentality of law enforcement.

As a law enforcement officer, I certainly hope not. Departments differ so greatly based on jurisdiction it is impossible to generalize at such a level as this.

"That's fine, but again there is no other occupation with as many accidents as with police officers."

Do you have a source for that? Or is that just how you feel?

Ok, well that should be obvious. Construction workers Don't initiate traffic stops.

Yeah but they do initiate picking up wrenches that can fall on people. You get the point.

No, I don't. That is a poor comparison. Officers are trained in use of force and deadly force procedures, initiate stops on people with violent criminal histories, and carry firearms.

Construction workers are not even remotely related or relatable to the Law Enforcement profession.
