Ambush shootings of police have jumped 139%, and the top police union blames the anti-law enforcement rhetoric liberal politicians have spewed.

“Ambushes of police up 139%”

On the other side of things the rate of the police ambushing and murdering innocent Americans remains steady.

Quit guarding libs. Don’t answer them calling 911. Don’t protect their homes; kids; lives.

Make sure and faithfully guard the politicians who are getting your fellow officers killed.
