My thought pattern was that MOST officer involved shooting in the past 2 years,have shown that LEO's are getting shot up and NOT winning gun fights

Let's try some facts (also, I didn't fail to notice that somehow "Decades" became "2 years", but I'll let that little inconsistency slide):
Officer deaths to gunfire
2018: 52
2017: 42
2016: 64
People killed by police:
2018: 992
2017: 976
2016: 963
Officer to perp ratio:
2018: 1:19
2017: 1:23
2016: 1:15
So, again, you can have your own opinions, but you can't have your own facts. The facts are that police deaths in the line of duty are way down per capita versus what they were in prior decades. The facts are that police are winning the vast majority of lethal force engagements with a kill to loss ratio that would make a Top Gun instructor proud.
If you have facts that back your claim that in most lethal force encounters police are getting shot up and not winning the fight, please share them with us
And to express your own ,possibly narrow view of the officers you know is a nice idea.
And I will attest to the fact that most officers are not shooters OR gun people.
But the few hundred officers I know,and the thousands I have met were trying real hard to just survive their next shift.
That's an interesting, and completely pointless Appeal to Authority. Please try to stick with something that can be quantified instead of, "I think I know more officers than you, so I must be right"
Also, I never said officers were gun people or shooters, so nice Strawman there.
