Please note the asterisk on the FBI table, "The killing of a felon by a law enforcement officer in the line of duty."
FBI ? Expanded Homicide Data Table 14
Based on the statistics, ~400 felons out of ~300 million American's are killed by police each year. Conversely, on average, ~400 American Soldiers lost their lives while protecting the US in Iraq. Your inference that you are more likely to be killed by LEO than a terrorist is inherently flawed. For example, if you are a felon, and you have a tendency to threaten LEO, THEN you are more likely to go out in a blaze of glory with LEO. However, since the majority of American's aren't felons, your inference falls flat.
Your felon argument doesn't hold water. Because who has labeled the person a felon, is certainly more of a danger to Americans than the one that was labeled a felon.
