Officers put themselves in harms way. It's terrible when one is killed, but innocent people aren't shooting cops, criminals are, so your comparison fails. On Wed, May 12, 2010 at 4:33 PM, Sam wrote: > > So is one officer killed by a civilian. > > On Wed, May 12, 2010 at 5:25 PM, Maureen wrote:

I would not be so sure about this From what I've seen, it happens at least a couple times a year. Once upon a time, Congress authorized a national excessive use of force tracking system. However, they stopped funding it after 2 years and have refused to fund it since then as far as I am aware. Tha
