The thing I found interesting on there is...
In 2015, of the 41 officers killed, only 6 managed to fire their weapon.
In 2014, of the 51 officers killed, only 5 managed to fire their weapon.

The vast majority of the ones who die either never get a shot off in defense, or chose to try and solve it peacefully and died.

I'd think some of that was the circumstances:
