“The quote in the article says that, if you draw down on a police officer you will probably get shot.”

You need to read that again because it says nothing about drawing down on a cop. It also says nothing about probability. It states a certainty.

The author quotes the superintendent saying: "So I’ll train our officers that there is a concealed carry law, but when somebody turns with a firearm in their hand the officer does not have an obligation to wait to get shot to return fire and we’re going to have tragedies as a result of that." (Emphasis added.)

It also says nothing about probability. It states a certainty.

The author states: "And now his highly trained officers will shoot at someone carrying a gun, regardless of whether or not that person has done anything wrong."

I didn't see where the author quoted the superintendent saying police will shoot at someone for merely carrying a gun. It's the author's statement.
