Just a day after the premeditated execution of two NYPD officers in New York by a deranged, suicidal psychopath, two more police officers have been shot in America today. In St.Louis, an off-duty officer was shot multiple times and remains in critical condition while in Tarpon Springs, Florida, 45-year-old officer Charles Kondek - a 17-year-veteran and father of 5 children - was shot and killed early Sunday morning.

As Fox Boston reports,

Florida authorities say a police officer was shot and killed in Tarpon Springs early Sunday.

 

 

The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office said in a statement that police have arrested 23-year-old Marco Antonio Parilla Jr. on suspicion of first-degree murder.

 

The Tarpon Springs Police Department identified the fallen officer as 45-year-old Charles Kondek, a 17-year veteran of the local police department. Originally from New York, Kondek had previously served on the New York City Police Department for more than five years, authorities said.

Don’t expect any statements from Obama. None of these cops were George Tiller, performing late term abortions.

The FBI’s annual Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted (LEOKA) report that was released earlier this week details in chilling narratives and statistics how 76 law enforcement officers were killed in the line of duty in 2013.

Note: That is slightly more than one every 5 days (365 days / 76 killed).

[Uncle Miltie]

Number of police officers in the U.S.: 780,000.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_number_of_police_officers

Therefore, the rate of killed in the line of duty / number of officers = 0.01% (one one-hundredth of one percent).

[Uncle Miltie]

Murder rate in the U.S. is 4.7 per 100,000, or about 0.005%, or one-half of one-hundredth of a percent.

In other words, cops are killed at double the rate of civilians.

At least according to the easily available statistics I can find.

A warrant needs to be issued for the professional race pimp, Al Sharpton. The Charles Manson of race pimps.

White cops are expendable for Obama. Black and Hispanic thugs are not.

there is absolutely no life in those eyes.

I sure hope criminals won’t be on the hunt for police now! Without them, our cities would become dog-eat-dog jungles.

I noticed that too - hollow eyes - hollow soul.

legal or illegal...undocumented worker?

[txnativegop]

I’m not sure he has one.

[Uncle Miltie]

No particular point. Trying to gain a perspective about the rate of death for cops versus civilians. Like the other FReeper said, it saved him looking it up.

If cops were being killed at 10 times the rate of civilians, or 1/4th the rate of civilians, that would be notable. But neither the absolute numbers or rate are wildly out of line either high or low. Just interesting.

According to this site 105 cops killed in line of duty in 2013.

Only 30 of those were shot by attackers. 25 died in car accidents, some of which might have been in chases, although they have a separate category for vehicular pursuit (4 dead).

10 had heart attacks. They appear to include any and all cop deaths on duty.

Police work is not, statistically, a particularly dangerous line of work. In fact, it isn’t in the top 10.

Without them, our cities would become dog-eat-dog jungles.

In the late 1870s and early 1880s, rustling became rampant in eastern Montana and western North Dakota. Dertain citizens, acting on their own behalf and the behalf of the public at large, conducted a series of punitive operations over a period of about 18 months. Wholesale rustling has not been a problem since.

Your cities will become a jungle, only if you let it.

He is hoping all cops are killed so he can then justify moving the tanks in.
