The nation's top cop vowed Tuesday to "do all that we can" to combat what he called a "simply unacceptable" number of local and federal law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty.
In brief remarks before a closed-door meeting with police chiefs from around the country, Attorney General Eric Holder said nothing is "off the table," including an Obama administration push for Congress to approve new legislation.
"In recent months, we have really seen a dramatic rise in the number of police officers and other law enforcement agents who have been killed in the line of duty," Holder said.

Surely the state of affairs has improved since the days of Bonnie and Clyde... hasn’t it?
To call that rat-face our “top cop” is like calling Qaddafi the Chairman of the U.N. Council on Human Rights. [Oh, wait, he actually did hold that position...]
Anyone with a milligram of sense would take a look at the areas where police die more in on-the-job incidents, and compare them with the prevalence of private carry in those places. Almost invariably, more guns means less crime, this crime too. Armed citizens actually cut the risk to police, because malefactors will look for more vulnerable places to ply their trade, if they do not get Darwin awards first.
So obviously Steadman is going to enforce the security on the Mexican border as part of this crack down?
Oh no, to send reinforcements to the known trouble spots would make far, far too much sense. Must pretend this stuff is equally likely to pop up anywhere you throw a dart at a map of the USA.
Something tells me Steadmans map is comprised of strictly red states.
Holder's "my people" are the ones doing the killing. I'll bet dealing with the actual culprits is "off the table".
It would help if ATF wasn’t arming the bad guys.......What would I know, I’m only a fed trying to stop cross border crimes.
Steadman has never been a champion of Police officers.
It’s a feign to cover his “fast and furious” debacle
He's the one giving the Narco Terrorists Auto Weapons!
Why do I suspect that pumping up support for more gun control legislation is what all of this is really all about?
Just because the saps in N.Y. have surrendered their 2nd amendment doesn’t mean they are willing in fly over country.
“simply unacceptable
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
“Unacceptable”?
So?....What number would be “acceptable”? Huh? ( Unbelievable!)
“Nation's Top Cop Vows All-Out Effort To Stop “Simply Unacceptable” Rise In Murder Of Innocent civilians, family pets and the tasing of grannies”
Since the the "American 'assault weapons' cause all of the Mexican violence" meme isn't working to help Obama, Holder, et al to further infringe on our 2nd Amendment rights, then "it's for the PO-lice" (similar to the leftists "it's for the CHILDREN" B.S.) mantra from a long-time gun-grabbing playbook is just the latest LIE put forth to bring back more Draconian gun CONTROL.
