There are ~50 officers 'feloniously killed' in the US every year. https://ucr.fbi.gov/leoka/2018/topic-pages/officers-feloniously-killed https://ucr.fbi.gov/leoka/2018/topic-pages/officers-feloniou... If you dig around most other nations have substantially lower rates of LEO homicides. Bunch of older stats here https://bjs.ojp.gov/content/pub/pdf/ph98.pdf https://bjs.ojp.gov/content/pub/pdf/ph98.pdf I think one begets the other in a positive feedback loop that is difficult to break.
