Maybe from smoking, drinking and cancer, but not in the line of duty. 2009 was the safest year for Law Enforcement officers in the last 50. Only 124 died in the line of duty and only 48 of those were firearm related. Source
Why do I suspect the number of contacts with LEO that are death related are higher, I mean for the civilian?
And do you think that with this decision that there will be more Police and Suspects dieing or less??
From everything I have observed, you are going to get a significant up tick in both.
