The FBI recorded a historic high of on-duty police officers intentionally killed while in the line of duty last year reporting 73 officers killed

The number of accidental on-duty police deaths increased as well with 56

There was also a drastic increase in 'unprovoked' attacks on officers last year

The FBI has opened an investigation into the spike in 'unprovoked' police killings

Complications from COVID has remained the top cause of death for officers in the last two years; police unions have continued fighting vaccine mandates

Last year, 13 cities in the United States shattered their annual homicide records

The FBI recorded a 26-year high for on-duty police officers intentionally killed across the United States last year, as overall crime and murder rates hit record highs, falling just one short of the all-time grim mark of 74.

There were 73 cops who died in the line of duty from a 'felonious killing' last year, according to data provided by the FBI shared with CNN, a 59% increase from 2020's total of 46.

A 'felonious killing' is defined by the FBI as an instance when an officer is 'fatally injured as a direct result of a willful and intentional act by an offender.'

The grim mark excludes the police death toll in 2001, when 72 officers lost their lives in the 9/11 terror attacks - on top of the 70 officers that were killed by domestic criminals.

The number of accidental on-duty police deaths increased as well, with 56 officers accidentally killed in the line of duty last year, up from 46 in 2020

In 2019 ten (10) unarmed blacks were killed by police, and 5 of those tried to run police down with a motor vehicle first. That is our of 43,000,000 black Americans (13% of the population). Source: FBI crime stats.

The FBI is visiting all PTA meetings to get leads on who might have been responsible.
