In the aftermath of the mass shooting of a dozen police officers in Dallas this week, some conservatives rushed to lay blame for the incident at the feet of the Obama administration.
Former Republican congressman Joe Walsh said on Twitter that "Obama's words & [Black Lives Matter]'s deeds have gotten cops killed." Rep. Roger Williams (R-Tex.) said, "the spread of misinformation and constant instigation by prominent leaders, including our president" contributed to the killings. Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) said the shooting had "roots" in the "anti-white/cop events illuminated by Obama."
These statements are part of a broader narrative of a "war on cops" carried out by the Obama administration and/or the Black Lives Matter movement, depending on whom you ask. It's certainly true that some shooters of police, such as the Dallas attacker, appear to be motivated by a hatred of white police officers or a twisted urge to seek revenge for police shootings of black Americans. But the simplistic and inflammatory notion of a "war on cops" is completely undercut by one fundamental data point: Intentional attacks on police officers are at historically low levels under President Obama.

But . . . but . . . gun violence is OUT OF CONTROL, which is why we need more “common-sense” gun laws. Notice how the lib narrative on gun violence changes when people criticize Obama and BLM? All of a sudden , we’ve NEVE BEEN SAFER from gun violence.
Is this guy any relation to Laura Ingraham???
Their lies fit their agenda. Its a total lie, complete, bald faced, iie. There is a war on cops like never in the history of this country that did not exist before Obama. plain and simple.
Just like intentional breaching of national security?
The deaths may be down but not because the attacks are down. The use of body armor is much more widespread than it was in prior decades. Many other factors that have nothing to do with Obama reduce the death toll. I read an article not too long ago that said that one of the primary factors that reduces the murder stat generally is the fact that surgeons are so good at saving the lives of gunshot victims these days.
More bullsh*t from the Post.
They never quit.
A food gauge would be to rate the rate of cop suicides. I think the morale has never been lower, and that is what speaks much more than cops getting shot
The comPost.
and the Andrea Mitchell Golden Kneepads award this week goes to... !!!
I have a math degree, with about 50 of the 124 hours needed for the bachelors, in math courses. I hated the statistics classes I took because they were boring but they also enlightened me to the ways that numbers can be twisted to make any case you desire.
She has that i love black men look to her
I did not believe it either, but
THANKS for doing the homework!
Facts and mathematics really do matter.
Unfortunately, sometimes one must dig deep to demonstrate that other people have massaged the numbers. It has been said that “if you torture the numbers long enough, they will tell you anything you want to hear.”
The more cold hard facts pile up against leftists’ fantasies, the more delusional they have to become to deal with it.
Right on schedule.

The issue here should be how many Black offenders intentionally murdered, or tried to murder, a white Police officer.
The author does not tell us if the rate of Black offenders killing white Police officers has increased under Obama.
Was that a deliberate omission by the author, or just his statistical ignorance?
heh heh heh heh... certainly not the look she gives her great white sugerdaddy
Wait...wasn’t it 12? 7 just survived so far.
