I had to look it up on that link because my grandfather was one of the 122 killed on duty for 1942. He’s on the Laurens Co, GA memorial and the national memorial in D.C.
I don’t have a problem with LEOs shooting the feral criminals of today, if necessary. It’s the deadly force they use when they aren’t sure, or when they fake a crime to excuse their actions or when they just attack innocents.
It seems the murder rate is down, dramatically; the total crime rate is down, less significantly; and the number of LEOs killed each seems to be declining.
Under these circumstance for the number of people being shot by LEOs to be going up each year doesn’t seem to be justified.
Of course, arguably the reason fewer LEOs are being killed is because they are killing the other guys first. :)
I think it is indisputably a bad idea for LEOs to investigate LEO shootings.
