#1 - Mon Jan 2, 2012 3:25 PM ESTAfter reading the article I see that out of the 173 officers that died last year that the death of 68 of them was by a firearm. It would be very interesting to know that out of that 68 how many of them were killed by other law enforcement officers. It would also be interesting to know how many people here in the United States were killed by law enforcement officers. To see how much that number has increased as well.
