4 female cops killed in 2013 out of 150 total cops killed.

That’s just under 3%. Females represent 12% of cops nationwide.

During the reporting period I looked at, some 700 cops killed in NYC (includes 9-11 (72). 1,675 were killed in Texas during the same time period.

We had one (sheriff’s deputy) here in Central Texas kidnapped, tied to a bridge abbuttment, stripped, beaten severely and raped a few years back. He also took her weapon. Why a sane woman would want to subject herself to these possibilities is beyond me.

I read that the Israeli army quit putting women in combat units not because of female casualties but because male casualties in the units with females went up because the men would generally take bigger risks to protect or aid a female soldier than a male soldier. I wonder if that applies to the numbers you cited?
