Yes, he clearly states a LE has a 1/4000 chance of being killed on the job.


All info from the UCR. Homicides only. There are approximately 500,000 LEO's in the United States. Somewhere around 150 are killed by criminal assault every year. That's actually about 1/3500, but I was being liberal. Of course, a huge percentage of those guys are things like Department of Agriculture Agents and administrators. The odds go way up for the average patrolman and special unit officer that initiate contacts with the criminal element.


The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.
