40% fewer officers killed by gunfire in '08

This is a good thing. We have the lowest number of police officers killed by gunfire in 30 years; a 40% drop. And at no point in the story do they attribute it to gun control or argue that we need more of it. Instead, they correctly attribute it to increased training and better equipment. The violent crime rate is down and the cops are wearing vests. That equals fewer dead. This is a good thing.
