well done as I couldn't find a thing, that was 2009, so maybe once a decade, the closest to stats I could find is that 11 police officers have been killed by car or stabbing since 1970, and US stats show that cars are far more dangerous to the police than knifes so my guess is 3 or 4 police have been stabbed to death in half a century, now that isn't insignificant but it also doesn't justify killing hundreds of civilians who had knives over that period, the threat just doesn't justify the responce
