The overnight casualty reports serve as a grim reminder of just how perilous it is to be a police officer. Open season has been declared. Some of the incendiary rhetoric stoking and inciting violence is coming from strange corners — the folks who define what is going on as “peaceful protests.”
In Oakland, California, federal officer Dave Patrick Underwood was killed by someone who fired at him from a vehicle. In New York, the scene of some of the most rampant looting, a police sergeant was mowed down in a vicious hit-and-run, and another officer struck by a vehicle. In Buffalo, an officer and a state trooper were injured when a car brutally plowed into a police skirmish line. In Las Vegas, two officers were struck by gunfire — one in the head. And in St. Louis, four more were shot.
Enough is enough.
Peaceful protests over the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis have devolved into a week of murder, mayhem, looting, and arson — none of the tactics remotely reminiscent of civil rights movement protests that slowly but effectively effected change in the 1950s and 1960s. Gratuitous violence directed at innocent people is antithetical to protected free speech and peaceable assemblage rights.
That said, the anger is certainly understandable. Yes, both the official autopsy report on Floyd and the independent autopsy commissioned by Floyd’s family now confirm that the cause of death was homicide. The murder weapon? An officer’s left knee, for which there is no excuse. Countless career law enforcement professionals have expressed outrage. I shared my own disgust and demand for justice.
But what happened to Floyd was an aberration and not normal for the vast majority of sworn members of the policing profession. I’ll prove that.

The author uses statistics and facts in his conclusion. Doesn’t he know those things don’t matter anymore ??? The only thing that matters is how you “feel” about something.
I asserted the other day that they are going to kill 2-3 cops, as that is their goal. It will force Trump to act, and they will trash him for that.
It is interesting that wherever I travel I have noted police seem to be one of the most integrated agencies in society. Integrated between blacks and whites, males and females.
We hadn’t seen this since we got Barry out of the White House. He crawls out from under his rock two weeks ago and look what we’ve got. I think Obama knew the White House orchestrated coup, and his direct involvement in it, was about to be confirmed. Since he saw the flu scam failing he called on his minions for one last ditch effort to blow up Trump.
Does anyone have a list or count of the number of police shot or killed since the incident?
ANTIFA in their own words: Lara Logan breaks down the dangerous movement!

Do YOU know anyone who supports or defends thugs whose credo is “Liberty begins when AMERICA DIES”? They’re DEMOCRATS. Get as far away from them as you can. They’re going to jail!
