Mr. Holder is full of $hit! Considering there are close to 900,000 local, State and Federal law enforcement officers in the US, an increase of 9 firearms-related deaths is statistically insignificant. In fact, the total of 173 law enforcement deaths versus 900,000 would indicate that law enforcement is a relatively safe job.
By contrast, there were a total of 27 fewer firearms-related deaths of law enforcement officers in 2008 versus 2007. I don't recall the DOJ bragging about the 40% decrease back in 2008.
Again, given the total number of US law enforcement personnel the 27 decrease in 2008 is statistically insignificant.

They can’t stop, the plans they have for this country aren’t possible until they can find a way to disarm us. If Zero is reelected I suspect the number one domestic priority will be shutting down the second amendment, one way or another.

173 Police Officers Killed
200+ US & Mexican Citizens Killed by Eric Holder
We need to focus on the bigger crime first.
Police officers are no more important than citizens and do not deserve special treatment.

Its time to make them Double Secret Illegal. Then the penalty can be Double Secret Probation!
This progression is disturbing. Murder is illegal. However we need to make murder with a knife, gun, car, bat, etc. illegal too...

Some boffins in the social sciences should commission a study as to whether criminals obey the law.

There is no mention of "illegal firearms" in the report itself. IOWs this is a lie that Eric "The Coward" Holder made up out of whole cloth.
Not a shred of truth in it.

No mention by Holder of the ambush killings of police which have surged the last couple of years where many of the perps are black who murder white cops. Odd how the MSM has missed that connection too.../s
