Eric Holder: More cops slain by illegal guns
Politico ^ | 12/28/11 | TIM MAK

Posted on 12/28/2011 11:15:05 AM PST by Nachum

The number of officers killed in the line of duty jumped 13 percent in 2011 compared with the year before - and U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder condemned the increase as “a devastating and unacceptable trend” that he blamed on illegal firearms.

The number of deceased law enforcement officers rose to 173 killed in the line of duty this year, from 153 in 2010, the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund announced Wednesday. This year’s figure is 23 percent higher than the 122 killed in the line of duty in 2009.

Amazing cynicism and duplicity. I wonder if Holder would favor jailing those who master-mind major distributions of illegal guns?

A typical Democrat pantload. The guns aren't illegal you dip it is the people that have them that are not supposed to have them (for whatever reason) is the illegal part. What *ARE* illegal guns are the ones Holder illegally shipped to Mexico.

Also, let's not forget that actions like the parole board in Massachusetts letting 11 lifers out of prison certainly impacts this illegal use of firearms rate.

How many have been killed by guns Holder allowed to be sold to those who would never qualify if not for his scam Fast and Furious?

The true tragedy is Holder is still the AG. It is well past time to cime to clean house and take another friggen bath.

Come next November, Obama and his thugs will be sent back to Chi-town. If he isn’t removed, then we all need to get ready for the scoobala to hit the proverbial fan, because many Americans will roll over and play dead any longer.

We are not the unarmed citizens of Europe, and this is not 1935. Nuff said!

There are no “illegal guns”. They’re “undocumented firearms”.

And ANY thinking individual knows that the primary source of illegal firearms has been Eric Holder, who is "a devastating and unacceptable" U.S. Attorney General.

The police claim the jump in violence is due in part to budget cuts...from the bad economy.

Screw you Holder and your Halfrican boss.

No mention by Holder of the ambush killings of police which have surged the last couple of years where many of the perps are black who murder white cops.

While we are speculating on the correlation between guns and murdered LEOs, I would like to see statistics on the percentage of the perps that were: gang members, illegal aliens, blacks, repeat offenders, etc.
