Overheard in the coffee shop

One lady who thinks O'Reilly is "right on" was saying that being a soldier in Iraq is no more dangerous than being a policeman in US. I googled her statement and found out that the statement is Bush inspired and repeated by Republican pundits repeatedly. I went to the US Statistical Abstract and checked on police deaths. The latest figures are for 2002 and in the whole US the number (of police feloniously killed) was 56 and another 76 were killed accidentally (no statistics of car accidents due to high speed chases). There are more than 1 million police (full and part time) employed in the US. I wonder what statistics O'Reilly uses.
