more than 58,000 law enforcement officers were assaulted in 2002
Investigated by the FBI before adding to the stats. If grey/outright fishy, not listed.How many of those are legitimate and how many are innocent persons defending themselves from overzealous LEOs?

Occupation | Fatalities per 100,000 |
Timber cutters | 117.8 |
Fishers | 71.1 |
Pilots and navigators | 69.8 |
Structural metal workers | 58.2 |
Drivers-sales workers | 37.9 |
Roofers | 37 |
Electrical power installers | 32.5 |
Farm occupations | 28 |
Construction laborers | 27.7 |
Truck drivers | 25 |
Last statistic I saw on the subject is that 16% of LEOs are shot with their own weapon, probably struggling with a suspect. That is about one in five.
If the antis are really so hot about smart guns they'll want the police to have them before the rest of us, I'm sure.
The FBI annually compiles data concerning the felonious and accidental line-of-duty deaths and assaults of law enforcement officers and presents these statistics in Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted (LEOKA). Tabular presentations include weapons used, use of body armor, and circumstances surrounding murders and assaults of officers.

When officers are killed in the line of duty, there may be a tendency to assume that they died while intervening in felonies, transporting prisoners, or engaging in other police duties that involve them with clearly antagonistic individuals. However, during 2001, at least nine of the victim offi cers were coming to the aid of persons whom they perceived to be in danger (e.g., from a mentally unstable family member). Three others were intervening to stop an assault. Ten officers were victims of violent attacks that were as unexpected as they were unprovoked. In three of these instances, the unsuspecting officer walked into an ambush situation; in seven others, the offi cer was gunned down for no apparent reason, perhaps just for being a law offi cer.

How many were killed by "EEEEVIL Assault Weapons" ? ? ? ?
Oh, absolutely. They are ONLY concerned about safety. No way there will be a LEO exemption for smart guns because everyone knows that antis like the brady's have no ulterior motives.If the antis are really so hot about smart guns they'll want the police to have them before the rest of us, I'm sure.
They only track "Line of Duty Deaths".How many LEO where killed off duty because they couldn't/can't CCW?
