As with crime statistics, you need percentages to make a point and not aggregate numbers. Also tell us which other professionals are murdered by guns on American streets for doing their jobs, at this rate.
Another question would be, of those 61 deaths to gun violence, how many were because somebody was further instigated into a shootout BECAUSE of the confrontations with police? What about friendly fire?
If police are quick to resort to violence, why should the people not be?

Cab drivers are #1 last time I looked. Pizza delivery close. Cops didn't even make the top 10.
