84. Not true at all.
In 2007 2 of 57 officers were killed with their own weapon.
In 2006 2 of 48 officers were killed with their own weapon.

In both years the number of officers intentionally killed with a vehicle as a weapon was twice as high.

Also most cops are killed during an arrest. Someone in an arrest isn't looking to kill a cop BECAUSE he/she has a weapon they are looking to kill a cop because they are attempting to avoid arrest.
