stop using the fancy sign % like you know what it means. 10 out of 100000 is 0.01%.So, there are 1,100,000 police officers in the country.
115 officers are killed in the line of duty per year - (0.0001%)(10 per 100,000)
50 are caused by gun fire per year - (0.00001%)(<5 per 100,000)
The murder rate in the US for the entire country is 7.6 per 100,000.
Sorry, I just don't see much of an epidemic here.
