A more telling statistic is that of the number of police
officers killed and injured by firearms during the
course of their duty. In the 10 years between 1992 and
2002 there were exactly 3 police officers killed and
40 seriously injured.

Most criminals know that shooting cops is a really BAD idea.

Yet around 150 are killed and 230 injured in the US
every year and US cops are armed while British police
typically are not.

I prefer things our way.
