Very recommendable! Let the truth be told! Every time a police officers confronts an offender, the officer risks his/her life!
This article does not even include all those brave police officers, who loose their lives or are severely injured in pursuit of offenders/criminals! It also raises questions about the death sentence for cop killers!
"... 56 law enforcement officers “feloniously killed” in the United States in 2018. ...

Compare this to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics: TABLE A-5. Fatal occupational injuries by occupation and event or exposure, all United States, 2019
Accross all of the U.S. and across all occupations a total of 841 died on the job due to "Violence and other injuries by persons or animals" of which where 43 police officers (or about 5% of all). Thus police officer is easily among the most hazardous jobs in the United States! Remember that!
