It's possible for some cops to die of Covid while others die of gunfire. These facts are not at odds with each other.
It's obvious that US cops kill way more people than in other countries, but also that they get killed more often. They are more likely to kill because the US is designed to be a much more dangerous country than most, but also because they receive a lot less training, and training more focused on shooting, than in most countries.

I see what you're saying, but if you look at on the job death rates, police don't break into the top 20. And of those that die, half of it is things like automobile accidents.
