Not surprising seeing as how a lot of them spend most of their shift patrolling in a vehicle.Died in the line of duty, maybe? Does anyone realize the #1 cause of death for cops is traffic accidents?Your link shows 130 officers killed in 2015.Police are safer under Obama than they have been in decades
Data from the Officers Down Memorial Page, which tracks law enforcement officer fatalities in real time, illustrates the point. During the Reagan years, for instance, an average of 101 police officers were intentionally killed each year. Under George H.W. Bush that number fell to 90. It fell further, to 81 deaths per year, under Bill Clinton, and to 72 deaths per year under George W. Bush.
Under Obama, the average number of police intentionally killed each year has fallen to its lowest level yet — an average of 62 deaths annually through 2015. If you include the 2016 police officer shootings year-to-date and project it out to a full year, that average of 62 deaths doesn't change.
You can go to their website and tell cops they are misinformed I guess.
2015
So the OP is a lie.
