I checked with the local sheriff as well as my sources at Texas Ranger Company B and DPS and all said this is a ridiculously inflated number compared to anything they have seen officially.

It's higher today than the less than 1% it ran for ages but no more than 3-5% based on anything any of them has seen.

In recent years it's up quite a bit due to all of the targeting of cops by the left but very few cops end up in gunfights with their attackers because unfortunately most of those are "Ambush Attacks" and they are quite successful.

The laws and department regs/polcies have changed such that cops do tend to go to the gun more frequently than in decades long past because they have fewer liability worries but still the idea we're surrounded by trigger happy cops shooting every time they get scared or think someone might be armed is simply a mith born of the anti-gun left.

Now if all the respondents to that survey were Full Time SWAT cops in majpr cities I might believe that number but tthe chances of that are somewhere between slim and none so I don't.

That's a whole lot higher than I've ever seen posted before even by LEO sources. To say that's surprising would be an understatement.
