WASHINGTON (AP) - The Obama administration wants to cut almost in half a benefits program for the families of slain police and safety officers.
The president's proposed budget calls for cutting the Public Safety Officers' Death Benefits Program from $110 million to $60 million.
Justice Department budget documents say the reduction is being made because "claims are anticipated to decrease" because the number of officers killed in the line of duty has been decreasing.

...and he thinks LEOs will do “his will”....
Numbers of Cops killed have been decreasing? Really?
Not in Philadelphia.
Well, they are only dead police officers.The sad thing is that the dead cops were most likely killed by Obama Supporters.
But hey, lets pump a couple of billion into the system so we can help out the people who got a 600k house when they make a combined income of 80k a year. Those widows and families of slain police officers, they will figure something out.
GRRRRR
Hopey O’Changehan strikes again!
Got to make room for his civilian security hitler youth program.
cut this and give ACORN 4 billion! This is gross negligence and misconduct. What a dishonor to our soldiers and their families while giving a bunch of radical leftists who are criminals 4 billion dollars. Where is the outrage over this money given to ACORN especially when all these other honorable and patriot necessary programs are cut. Our national legislative system allowed that money to go to ACORN relatively unhindered. Whether it was a R or D it went through unscathed and with little to no opposition and outrage. We should not let this stand and we should never let it be forgotten.
Why should this be a federal program at all?
You dirty, rotten scum, Hussein!
Protecting those who keep the president out of harms way...
Y’now what, Obamanation? You might not even be alive today (if you really are) but for these guys who protect your two-bit hide!
Ooooooooooooooooooooooorrrrr!
Or in Oakland Ca.
Zero is an a—h-—.
I’m waiting for the trigger point gentlemen and then there will be hell to pay, retribution will be merciless.
You will remember his push to have our servicemen and women pay their own insurance, right? It doesn’t get much lower than that and now this...
Read my tag, understand my wrath.
Justice Department budget documents say the reduction is being made because "claims are anticipated to decrease" because the number of officers killed in the line of duty has been decreasing. we are going to confiscate every gun in America after we cross reference the new GPS census data with the national gun registry we're going to set up. Then cops on the beat will be "safe".
Obama “Screw those fat white guys”
C’mon. Cops suck, most of them are honkies and, besides, “The Community” don’t much like them. /s
Anybody surprised by this? Anyone? Bueller?
I vote for cutting off benefits to the US Congress while they are in office and after.
