Can we see the equivalent figures for Medical Practitioners, Teachers, Legal Professionals, Military personnel etc?
After all regardless of what some folks apparently want to think, TSO's are not alone in being imperfect as a group......

Now pick any other government employee group that is tasked with protecting the the public. For example, out of the total number of LEOs in this country, how many have been arrested?

We're not discussing other "occupations" here.
