% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
While attacks on law enforcement have run rampant in recent months, bringing the fatality rate for police officers up 15 percent from last year, the number of firearm-related deaths among law enforcement has actually decreased by 16 percent since last year, while traffic-related incidents – both accidental and purposeful injuries – remain the number one killer of cops this year.
Texas tops the 2015 list for the most number of officer fatalities, followed by Louisiana, Georgia and Mississippi.
