First you say the blood of cops killed are on liberal's hands. Now you say they are attacked more but are dying less due to technology and better training. I say the numbers don't project any of that.What the heck do you expect people to do when it seems cops are out of control and trigger happy? Are the victims of unjustified cop shootings and their supporters supposed to just shut up and let it ride? It isn't "rhetoric" that's getting cops killed. BTW:You make a very good point. Arguing against it would be incredibly hypocritical.
They cant. I agree....some of Trump's rhetoric has caused some pushing and shoving. Even...GASP....a sucker punch.
The lefts rhetoric is resulting in dozens of dead cops. Hundreds shot who survived. Countless assaulted.
Since hitting a peak in the early 1970s with 280 deaths, the number of officer fatalities in the U.S. has been falling. Of the gunfire that killed officers in 2015, the NLEOMF says those 42 deaths "are 26 percent lower than the average of 57 per year for the decade spanning 2000-2009."
Number Of Police Officers Killed By Gunfire Fell 14 Percent In 2015, Study Says
When the number goes over 300 per year, you might have a point...now....you don't!
Ah....NOW you wanna talk numbers and stats. You know a black person's odds of being wrongfully killed by a cop is about 0.000005%?? Oh wow...yeah...make a national movement and burn cities over something that is so rare its statistically irrelevant.
Yes....fatalities have dropped. See....25 years ago vests were a luxury. Now...every cop has one. Estimates are that vests have saved up to 3000 cops lives since 2001. Add to that...the advances in trauma care in our hospitals. And add to that the "militarized" (aka better) training in gun fighting cops now get to win the encounters....and yeah....the bad guys are dying in bigger numbers than cops.
Doesn't mean the number of attacks isn't rising (it is) just that cops are winning and not dying as often as before.
If there was a war on cops, as you imply, cops couldn't get out of their cars to write tickets or direct traffic without a sniper picking them off. Cops are not being hunted or stalked as you insinuate. Most shooting incidents are incidental to an arrest or routine cop business. Completely normal.
