FBI director says violence directed at police officers unlike anything he's seen before.

FBI Director Christpher Wray addressed the skyrocketing rate of murders against police officers Sunday, saying the surge is far outpacing general violent crime. Wray made the comments during a "60 Minutes" interview on Sunday, saying murders of police officers rose 59% in 2021. The total murder rate rose 29% last year, and the U.S. lost 73 police officers to such attacks in 2021. "Violence against law enforcement in this country is one of the biggest phenomena that I think doesn't get enough attention," Wray said, adding that officers are being murdered at a rate of nearly "one every five days."

Police stopped being servants of the people and became the implementation arm of brutal compliance under threat of arrest and above the very laws they swore to uphold.
Earning the distain and hate has happened as police enacted the unlawful feelings and pushed people around without lawful authority. Police officers that don’t respect the people’s rights under the constitution have failed us in a way that can’t be repaired overnight. My dad was a career police officer and died in 1992 as a deputy sheriff, after 3 decades as a police officer in a northern state mostly as a chief.

Anything Chris Wray says is suspect, if he has something serious to say he should have someone else announce it.

Chris Wray and John Edwards are more focused on their hair styles.

Who cares?

What makes the lives of police officers more valuable than any other citizen?

The focus should be on reducing murder overall, not just for “special” people.

Well Wray, since you claim that White Supremacy is the major threat against this nation, how many of those murders of police officers have been carried out by White Supremacists?

What did he expect would be the result of 0bama’s War on Cops, the Defund the Police “movement”, and releasing dangerous criminals back out on the streets on a regular basis. Couple all that with just the general breakdown of law and order in the country in the name of “diversity, inclusion, and equity”, it spells DIE for a reason.

He could even look to the atrocious activities of the FBI itself with the “Whitmere kidnapping caper” and “the insurrection”, spying on concerned parents, etc.

Well, duh!

The left is feeding the hate and the police are forbidden to even protect themselves.

The blame lies with governors, mayors, DAs, and the leftist, democrat politicians.

IMHO Wray, you are part of the problem. You had your chance under President Trump and you failed big time.

I don’t trust the FBI. They have become enforcers for the democrats.

Cops have weaponized the “Us vs. them” schism against citizens. They’ve made their own beds...

the DOJ’s take-over of local, independent police forces didn’t work out as planned?

Wray’s FBI continues to embolden the root cause of this violence.

Christopher Wray should be imprisoned for life, for his anti-American crimes.

What do you expect with the ‘hate police’/’defund the police’ movement that has been rampant the last 2 decades?

The leftists have been feeding that fire a long time.
