(CNN) — State police have named a suspect -- 24-year-old Royheem Deeds -- in the shooting death of a central Georgia police officer. They said Deeds is considered armed and dangerous.
About 9:30 p.m. Saturday, officer Tim Smith responded to a Dodge County 911 call reporting a suspicious person at an intersection in Eastman, a town of 5,000 about an hour's drive southeast of Macon.

I am having difficulty believing 101 cops were killed per year in the Reagan years and only 62 cops killed per year in the Obama years.
Does anyone have data other than that compiled by the Washington Post?
Having lived during the Reagan years it did not seem that dangerous, but maybe I was just younger and did not follow the news that closely.
Traffic deaths? Autos are safer now.
Royheem could be no other than another scum son of Obama.
Sounds like we need the stats broken down by cause:
gun
knife
vehicle
etc
If vehicle deaths have dropped it would make sense.
“Having lived during the Reagan years it did not seem that dangerous, but maybe I was just younger and did not follow the news that closely.”
Considering nationwide news coverage happened at 6:30pm and was minimal at best might be another reason.
Paging Captain Obvious...
Correction (typo) 1920-1941 Combination of Great Depression and Prohibition.
Dead eyes.
But we don’t have enough native-born killers. Let’s bring in more Mexican and central American narcotics gangsters and Religion of Death maniacs.
The chart shows the Prohibition jump @1919-32
When body armor started to get common
from the mid-70s along with air evac and improved trauma surgery.
Also, the 2001 WTC/ Pentagon spike.
1974 had the largest number of police deaths in recent time with 280 deaths. The all-time high was 1930 with 304 officers killed. The Obama administration’s response to this increase in killings has been only incitement and a callous disregard of public safety.
Robert Stack dropped plenty of baddies.
1930? I guess prohibition was still around.
In ‘74 I was 6, but I KNEW it was bad times!
In the great NYC blackout, pops was armed and at the door, and it was a good low-middle income italian neighborhood...with a project five blocks away.
Body armor was still not widespread during the early eighties. Now, its as mandatory as seatbelts.

Seems like turnabout should be fair play.
I wonder what the Dindoos would think if a bunch of Americans razed their neighbor hoods, burning all the liquor stores and cigarette shops to the ground, running thru the streets yelling. “We gonna kill all the black folks that come down this street.......
Yeah, I know.
Another one on the LAM somewhere in the NJ, NY, PA area tonight.
Others have mentioned body armor. I would probably also wager that advances in emergency trauma medicine over the past 30+ years have probably saved any number of lives that would not have been saved in the 80s.
What? No riots? No protests? No neighborhoods burned down?
