I'm so sorry about the personal losses you experienced. How awful.
Assaults on officers recently reached a 10-year high. Officers are being shot at, ambushed, punched, stabbed, mowed over by cars, and attacked with chemical weaponry in greater numbers. More than 79,000 officers were assaulted in 2023 alone, and these are just the ones we know of; I'm not certain if all agencies are reporting this data to federal law enforcement. That more haven't died is a testament, in part, to medical advancements.
