Police Officer Deaths Per Year from the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial.

Law enforcement has always been a career that carries with it certain dangers. The current rhetoric and actions (defund the police, the police are racist, no bail movements) just serve to encourage the bad actors to act out.

Not don't know how. IF you make a claim it is your responsibility to provide the information. When a lefty makes a post we automatically provide citation. Turns out that we all at the very least graduated High School and know how these things work.

Thanks though the article you posted tells a number of lies and that's assuming we trust their numbers to be accurate. But lets take a half step back and look at the numbers.

https://nleomf.org/memorial/facts-figures/officer-fatality-data/officer-deaths-by-year/

Under OBama we had a low of 151 officers killed on duty and a high of 204.
Under Bush we again had a low of 151 and a high of 242
Under Trump we had a low of 184 and a high of 295.

The article claims an increase of 105% under Biden. I know better than most that researchers and advertisers lie about percentages. In this case (even if their math appears to be off by 5 I fail at math a lot too so that can be forgiven) claiming that 315 from 295 represents a 105% spike in anti cop violence is ludacris. They are taking advantage of people who never doubt their news sources or double check to make sure that this or that are true.

You should have been able to sniff this out as BS just because if cops were being gunned down on the regular instead of less than one a day Tucker Carlson and Judge Pierro would have been humping your leg about it.

The numbers that are quoted also do not account for changes in population. If just 1 more cop was killed for every million new Americans between 1017 and 2020 we'd be a mere 15 dead cops shy of where we should be. These are acceptable numbers.

You are far more li kely to be shot by a cop than a cop is by you. Except ironically under Biden who is supposedly part of some anti-white conspiracy cops will have to REALLY pick up the pace if they want to shoot as many whites as they did under Trump in any given year. I suspect the numbers will be adjusted in about six months since the year isn't over yet and the number of unknown race sky rocketed under Biden and the number of deaths under any specific race are far lower under Biden. So I would encourage wating until at least these numbers start to solidify which may take a bit and it would be better if we waited the full term to see what the trend is.

The fact is that as we are quickly getting to a point where everybody has a camera phone and some of us are investing dash cams and other such equipment we are seeing more and more of what the police are doing. Its not the 50s-80s where cameras were clunky for the most part, most people didn't have video recorders so it was a 'he said, she said' scenario and cops got/get a free pass in those situations. This is more akin to the Rodney King scenario where even video evidence wasn't enough to bring down the cops. People are angry and rightfully so.

Crime has again, been declining for years now with an increase under the last two years of Obama's term so police SHOULD logically feel threatened on a lower basis and shoot fewer people, but they are not.

Thanks for making it easy on me. Look at the join date under my pic. I've been playing this game long enough to know when someone is trying to waste my time tracking down every detail on everything.

Game. Set. Match. Excellent post Sean.

Contextualizing data points reveals the complexity of environments.

It's also important to realize that the vast majority of police incidents (where police are injured/killed) happen within the context of local environments - counties, towns, cities, states - who have minimal impacts by anything Federal. Their only Federal impact is some funding that influences training resources.

When someone randomly throws out a comment without context, which happens often with this douche, the problem is with them..not with others who have no idea wtf he's talking about.

Thank you. And I could have gone on for quite a while. I mean if the primary goal is saving lives shouldn't we be focused what is really killing cops. Themselves. Police have the highest suicide rate of any profession (I would like to see how they stack against the military collectively or if we are only lower because each branch is counted separately) and suicide kills more than three times what "criminals" do. And honestly I suspect that some of those police shootings are justified.

That is why I flat out reject the Blue Lives Matter as a whole. If Blue Lives Mattered I would wake up to CNN telling me that for less than a dollar a day I can save a vets life. I know how much money I would have to spend to keep a kid int he third world from starving or save a puppy but no clue how to help cops or military personell. That's how I know the Blue Lives Matter movement isn't about saving cops, its about Black Lives Don't Matter
