From the FBI Uniform Crime Report (I'm assuming that this information source will be acceptable to most people...unless they also have an agenda you don't like)


Year # of incidents per capita(100k)
2004 1,367,009 465.5

year # of murders per capita (100k)
2004 16,137 5.5

437 of those 'justifiable homicides' were committed by a police officer.

while I have not found the FBI stat for LEOs killed in 2004, a google brings up a number of figures, but the average is approx. 155.
