According to the FBI, the number of police officers killed in the line of duty nearly doubled from 27 to 51 between 2013 and 2014. That is nearly one murdered police officer a week during 2014, which was also a little over a year after the mainstream media began its coordinated hate campaigns to demonize America’s law enforcement officers.

Al is pleased.
bambaboy trying to enact his ‘marshal law’ b.s.
Obama, Sharpton, Jackson, Mark Lamont Hill, and Marilyn Mosby are all pleased..they all have blood on their hands but they are too busy doing cartwheels and high fiving each other.
A CNN production!
Bet some cops are pissed which will escalate the situation even more.
Ah, the smell of fundamental transformation!
Gee, rile up the crowds of undesirables into a froth, and cop murders go up. who’da thunk
Here are the numbers from 2004-2013:
2004: 57
2005: 55
2006: 48
2007: 58
2008: 41
2009: 48
2010: 56
2011: 72
2012: 49
2013: 27
Sadly, it looks like 2013 was an anomaly - the average for each year between 2004 and 2012 was 53.78 (nearly double the number killed in 2013). Hard to say whether the increase in 2014 was the result of a “war on police,” or just reflects a regression to the mean.
One of those charged in the double cop killing, “I want a lie detector test. God know I done did nuffin.”
I think even car accidents are included in those figures.
With 1.2 million officers in the country whose job it is to find the bad guys eight hours a day, you'd think the numbers would be more horrific. I could be wrong.
The numbers for all line of duty deaths are significantly higher (about double per year).
Yeah. Obviously ~55 officers killed per year is too many (any number is too many), but given the number of officers and the fact that officers deal with situations every day that most of us never deal with in a lifetime, it is surprising that the number is not higher.
There’s nothing to correct. The Officer Down Memorial Page lists all line-of-duty deaths, while the FBI report includes only those deaths that were the result of felonious incidents. That’s why the numbers are different.
They will be proven quite wrong. Inner cities will just become more dangerous as even black cops will shy away from enforcing the law in the face of persecution by the race industry.
