“Craig blames those attacks, .... on anti-government sentiment and says law enforcement needs to get tougher.”
Get a bigger hammer, its what police states do.
Looks like the guy is playing with the numbers. Statistics and liars.
If "anti-government" extremists were responsible the media would never let us hear the end of it.
More likely Floyd is worried about the threat "anti-government" types represent to his retirement plan.
How about civilian and dog shooting by cops?
Maybe the JBT’s will get the message...
How about the number of dogs killed by cops?
I find it curious that Illinois is missing from the list. After all, Chicago is the murder capital of the U.S.

It’s called Karma, for shooting all those unarmed dogs.
So they paid this clown $222,000 in 2012 to give the fund a continued raison d’etre by encouraging cops to pick fights. Nice.
Are dog shootings down?
The deaths of these cops is unfortunate to say the least. Its offensive that these people never worry about the deaths of innocents. Its also offensive that their answer to every problem is greater force and more authority.
Total B.S.
FBI Crime Stats show overall crime has been going down for the last 20 plus years.
The people with the lowest crime rate per capita are the veterans and gun owners.
One poster mentioned Chicago, which crime has sky rocketed, has been left out?
I would not believe this report for one second and challenge its, most likely, cherry picked data.
What do they expect? The police have been militarized to the point that cops consider every interaction with a citizen as a hostile encounter.
Drug raids are conducted with military uniforms, weapons, and armored vehicles.
Pet dogs are murdered without any shred of human decency.
The cops have declared war on the general public and they are suffering the consequences of their actions.
Oh, that will work well...

Reading the Tea Leaves In Johnson County:

Excerpt:
~On the other hand, tea-wise, the Johnson County Sheriff’s Department is taking it to a whole other level. Two years ago, at 7.30 one April morning, a sleepy Bob Harte staggered to the front door of his home in Leawood, Kansas to answer a knock and found a fully-armed SWAT team outside preparing to use the battering ram. They shoved him to the floor, surrounded him with pointing rifles, and the whole rigmarole began...
When it was, eventually, over, and the home invaders left empty-handed, Bob and Addie Harte were naturally curious as to what they’d done to attract the attentions of the chocolate soldiers of Kansas law enforcement. The Johnson County Sheriff’s Department refused to say: There’s no sunshine in the Sunflower State, and the latest attempt to let some light in on the dank sewer of Kansas public records died in the legislature on March 25th. So it took a year and 25 grand in legal bills for Mr and Mrs Harte to find out why they and their children were on the receiving end of a paramilitary raid.
One of the warning signs for coming civil unrest.
Right, with a flood of meth from Mexico and heroin from Afghanistan it’s not dope dealers, it’s patriots causing the problem.
This is a “drive by” story. The lack of details has the smack of “Everybody panic!” Why? “BECAUSE!!!”

Importantly, the “anti-government sentiment” he mentions in New Jersey, was when a member of the Bloods street gang murdered a police officer, and was in turn killed at the time by a police officer, causing the Bloods gang to call for assassinating police officers in New Jersey. Not your typical “anti-government sentiment”.
As far as Las Vegas goes, it was the psychotic white couple who murdered two officers at lunch and several other people, dropping a Nazi flag on one and a Don’t Tread on Me flag on the other. Remember them? Total nuts. Were kicked out of the standoff at the ranch in Nevada.
The police are the enemy now. They won’t be getting any sympathy from this victim of federal tyranny.
Ambush style attacks, aka drug gangs in gun free zones.
