Is that number higher, lower or about equal to the national rate of police killings? One LEO killed by a criminal is too many, but lets remember there are some 30 k plus cops in NYC, while in my small town there are two FTE cops, plus a dispatcher, and a few posse types like me. One of ours would be 50%, while 5 of NYC finest is a much smaller per capita rate....
I support good policing and good society, and I support and defend the US Constitutional against ALL enemies, foreign and domestic....
I don’t know that statistic - it seems very high to me. But I do know that statistically shootings in NYC have skyrocketed while other crimes are still low. Blame it on the dismantling of stop and search.
