The point could very well be true, I guess I'm just curious stats wise is all. (that point more shootings at police officers in rural areas than in urban).

Shouldn't have stated my points so aggressively either, sorry about that. In rural areas members will quite often work alone, whereas in a city there may be 100 or more working so from an officer safety standpoint it may be more risky to work a small town. Also from my experience I've found that people who live in cities, even criminals, genuinely like living there and will still adhere to social boundaries whereas in rural or remote places there is a bit more of a cavalier attitude. Now, I will say that some of the best experiences I've ever had in my life was living and working in the north. The people were great and there was a tonne of stuff to do if you got out there to do it so I'm not trying to say all people from small towns are gun toting lunatics.
