I saw that TV is already on and waiting.
Just Damned It !!!
If I correctly understand this point, you’re interested in deaths caused by police, broken out by race. That data is available if you search. Heather MacDonald from the Manhattan Institute has done a lot of work on this subject.
If I didn’t understand the post, sorry about that.
My daughter is in Arlington Va. $1150 a month for a 400 sq foot 1 bd apartment
Your house would rent for $1500 a month if it was close to campus here in Blacksburg. Fling it on a truck and head up here. We’ll get rich.
Haven’t deaths of police officers skyrocketed since BLM? Your chart only goes to 2014.
“What has happened to this country?”
Liberalism and piss poor parenting which allowed for the raising of 2 generations of children who were taught anything goes and accountability for their actions no longer exists.
This allowed for the government we now have (Except for Trump and very few others).
Here’s the website for “Officer Down Memorial Page,” if you’d like to crunch some numbers. If you could isolate deaths-by-violence for 2014-2018 and compare to the numbers for 2009-2013, that might show an effect.
(I’m not sure whether those are accurate dates for the BLM movements, but I’m sure you get the gist of it.)
Oh man. Prayers for the officer and his family.
Liberals. Liberals happened. A decline in morals, independence, and responsibility. They have pulled us away from God with a lust for things, caused us discourse, and polluted our youth with communist indoctrination. Liberals did this. Just remember, you can vote your way into socialism/communism, but you have to shoot your way out of it.
Apparently not:

My Uncle was a Carreer LEO starting right after WW II. He started out walking the Parking Meter Beat in Downtown Marrietta, OH and retired after working His way up to Chief. He never fired His Sidearm except at the Range for Qualifying. He was by the Book All the time. He backed into a car at the Grocery Store once and called for a Patrol Unit to come and write Him a Ticket. The Officer that got the call was a Rookie and freaked out about it. Uncle Pete told Him “it was My fault and either give Me a Ticket met or turn in Your Gun and Badge.”
Mooresville, Exit 36...just up the road from me.
TWO?! Guess you haven't heard of 18-20 year old GRANDMOTHERS in Houston, Detroit, and Atlanta.
Thanks for the link.
Thank you!
In summary, I believe your perception of an increase in killings of police officers does not match the actual incidence. This is also the case with people’s perception of killings BY police officers.
...
The reason is the scumbag media which likes to scare people into looking at their stupid advertising.
BTW, the chart in #5 isn’t showing up for me.
Indeed. While population has nearly doubled since the 1960s, the rate of violent crime has dropped significantly.
Of course, when raw numbers are posted, it hides the fact of that overall drop.
Officer murders would have to nearly double to indicate a same-rate condition, so with fewer offier murders ( same for general population) we indeed are seeing a significant reduction n murder overall. Many researchers contribute this to the rise of liberal ( in a good way) concealed carry laws. In the 60s and 70s only a few states permitted concealed carry, today, all but a few are shall issue states and the overall rate of crimes of violence have plummeted. Of course, the self-defense haters argue that firearms in the hands of law abiding citizens have little or nothing to do with it. They could not be more incorrect.
One murder of a citizen, LE or otherwise is a terrible thing.
Thank you for the link. I remember the last couple of years of Obama being horrendous for violence against officers.
No they were not that rare we killing around 150 per year during that time period.
It is just that we did not have the national media coverage of them that we do now.
You’re welcome.
Prayers for Officer Sheldon and his family.
And if the perp was another serial offender who should have been behind bars but was released early or not locked up long enough, I hope the locals there rain heck upon whomever is giving these perps an easy ride.
