It's worth reading through at least some of the particulars. About half seem to involve people also shooting at the police. Assuming the police are at fault every other time, I don't know how else one would expect a shootout with police to end. For that matter, even if it happens to be a fake gun, waving it around and refusing to put it down is probably a bad idea.

And then there's murder suicides by people who happen to be cops, but I don't think killing your own family is something that comes up in the line of duty.
