Well, there's also the fact that American cops killed the highest number of people on record for the USA in 2021.

Makes sense. We gained 20 + million people since 2010… then had a pandemic which fueled incredible division, inequality, domestic violence, and a rush on gun sales.

How many cops were killed by citizens in 2021 vs previous years?

The fact that more people were killed by police in 2021 needs additional analysis to draw any take-aways about police-work trends, especially ones that would lead a reporter to draw conclusions in this specific case.
