I think I got that right.

Well, AFC is right in that few police officers are killed by knives in NA. However, this may be due to the fact that those individuals are bringing a knife to a gun fight and the odds are against them. I don’t know how AFC can look at the above video where the guy is trying to stab the cop with a knife and say that he’s certain he didn’t want to kill him. And there was an Ottawa cop killed 8 years ago or so by a knife.
