From the figures they post, it can’t be a thousand to one because there is no way that a thousand cops have been killed intentionally in the last five years. The figures lump traffic accidents in with deliberate killings, and with these “way high figures” 45 states have fewer than 4 deaths, and only one has more than four deaths. Even in this “abnormally high year” they can’t be on pace to break 200, and that is including all sorts of traffic deaths in the figure.

No need to speculate, the data are readily available.

And you are correct. In 2012 there were 48 feloniously killed.

It's like Max says - it's more like 10,000 to 0.... I'm not talking about the number of cops killed - because you're right - not that many cops are killed in the United States (thank God). I was talking about proportion and I should have presented my number as a percentage. Something like less than one half of one percent... or lower....

Here's why I'm upset with this issue: The insanity of calling someone 'anti-govrenment' without listing people who are 'pro-governemtment' is a totalitarian move against people who are conservative.

There are "pro-government people AND anti government people.

List them both.

List the crimes of both groups.

List the number of cops killed by both groups. Do it as a percentage of population.

Tell the whole story...

So my original thought stays: Black democrats who are in favor of large government and lots of social programs do the highest percentage of crimes... as a portion of their share of the population. White Tea Party members (who believe in small government) do the LEAST amount of crime. Since killing a police officer IS a crime I'm including it ... the math will hold.

Bill Ayers - who ghost wrote 'Dreams of My Father' for President Obama ( AND IS A FRIEND of Obama's) wrote a book called 'Prairie Fire' and that book was dedicated to all the people who had killed a police officer.

Bill Ayers' book is NOT ONLY DEDICATED to cop KILLERS, AYERS NAMES THEM ALL.

The left is full of haters... why aren't they listed as 'pro-government' types? Hieronymus? Can you tell me?

YOU Hieronymus - how would Holder and the MSM react to a book dedicated to cop killers IF IT HAD BEEN WRITTEN BY A TEA PARTY MEMBER... Tell me Hieronymus... I think you have that answer.
