The number of officers killed in the line of duty jumped 13 percent in 2011 compared with the year before - and U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder condemned the increase as “a devastating and unacceptable trend” that he blamed on illegal firearms.
The number of deceased law enforcement officers rose to 173 killed in the line of duty this year, from 153 in 2010, the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund announced Wednesday. This year’s figure is 23 percent higher than the 122 killed in the line of duty in 2009.

Amazing cynicism and duplicity. I wonder if Holder would favor jailing those who master-mind major distributions of illegal guns?
Imagine that.
It’s time to make them Double Illegal.
Bet he will never tell how many came from Fast & Furious!
As a dog returns to his vomit, so a fool returns to his folly.
A typical Democrat pantload. The guns aren't illegal you dip it is the people that have them that are not supposed to have them (for whatever reason) is the illegal part. What *ARE* illegal guns are the ones Holder illegally shipped to Mexico.
Also, let's not forget that actions like the parole board in Massachusetts letting 11 lifers out of prison certainly impacts this illegal use of firearms rate.
How many have been killed by guns Holder allowed to be sold to those who would never qualify if not for his scam Fast and Furious?
The true tragedy is Holder is still the AG. It is well past time to cime to clean house and take another friggen bath.
Come next November, Obama and his thugs will be sent back to Chi-town. If he isn’t removed, then we all need to get ready for the scoobala to hit the proverbial fan, because many Americans will roll over and play dead any longer.
We are not the unarmed citizens of Europe, and this is not 1935. Nuff said!
There are no “illegal guns”. They’re “undocumented firearms”.
Politico as usual carrying water for these friggin fascists
And ANY thinking individual knows that the primary source of illegal firearms has been Eric Holder, who is "a devastating and unacceptable" U.S. Attorney General.
Only one response to this headline: DUH!
‘Amazing cynicism and duplicity. I wonder if Holder would favor jailing those who master-mind major distributions of illegal guns?”
Thats Different!!!!
Screw you Holder and your Halfrican boss.
ping-—Holder blames illegal firearms
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.
What?
Well, Sherlock, that’s an amazing obersavation!
Criminals are committing crimes?
Shut yer pie hole, Holder.
This bunch NEVER stops do they? No answer needed!
