you're wrong since being killed by covid in the line of duty makes no sense, but you shouldn't be censored, I'll fight to the death for your right to be wrong.

If they contracted it from someone they came into contact while fulfilling their duties then they were killed by it in the line of duty

nah killed in the line of duty means shot or stabbed by a criminal or something like that

To be fair, it's listed under "Total Line of Duty Deaths" and included in its count, on that linked page. They justify it like so:

Beginning in early 2020, thousands of law enforcement officers and other first responders throughout the country have contracted COVID-19 during the worldwide pandemic due to requirements of their job.

The following law enforcement officers died as a result of contracting the virus in the line of duty.

But the OP is clearly wrong that vaccines would have saved them. Likely most of them happened to test positive while suffering from cardiac arrest.

But the OP is clearly shilling in bad faith.

I don't perceive that, so I disagree with your deleting the comment or post or whatever it was.

Maybe they are serious, or providing a realistic argument. Or maybe they're trolling, which might not be the highest form of argument, but it's head and shoulders above anything you get on highly-popular websites, if done well.

Have you not seen any comments or posts by AN before? He's a 100% hoax promoter.

Just so we're clear here: By "hoax" you mean the current pandemic that's literally everywhere in the world, barring the bottom of the Mariana Trench.

Sealioning is a harassment tactic by which a participant in a debate or online discussion pesters the other participant with disingenuous questions under the guise of sincerity, hoping to erode the patience or goodwill of the target to the point where they appear unreasonable.

I've looked up Jasons claim, and it turns out I can hear you guys at the pier some nights when my back door is open.

The content linked to the data. Your "bad faith" deflection doesn't pass muster, because the content is true and evidenced.

yeah if they died of covid they'd have felt sick and gone home or gone to a hospital and then died there.

The vaccines are very effective at keeping CoVID infections mild or asymptomatic. Since there's no 70 year olds on active duty, of would stop nearly all the deaths from CoVID in police.

Likely most of them happened to test positive while suffering from cardiac arrest.

Generally also while intubated in an ICU because of CoVID infection.

Most CoVID deaths aren't sudden. You get a decline over a few days.

The vaccines are very effective at keeping CoVID infections mild or asymptomatic.

Vaccine abstinence is even more effective at keeping COVID infections mild or asymptomatic.

Shill your poison on Reddit.

Thanks for your openness to debate. I appreciate it.

Cops get coughed on, get spat on, get blood on them, grapple with people. They've been dying much more than other people of CoVID, and their database honours them as deaths in the line of duty.

I can understand why.

[–][deleted] 3 insightful - 3 fun3 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

that could have happened before covid, like they might have caught the flu while at work, any of us might catch the flu at work but we don't say in the line of duty, those words clearly mean violence
