'War on police': Line-of-duty deaths rise amid racially-charged rhetoric, anti-cop climate...and yes it is a lie when you make statements that ignore pesky facts.
Any officers death is a tragedy. But a heart attack, a vehicular accident, or being mauled by a vicious animal are risks of life, not risks of the trade.It's bad enough when the Bloombergians lie there asses off. It's worse when your so called "fair and balanced" friends jump on the prohibitionist band wagon.Speaking of risks of the trade; as you can see, as of12:30 CDT, 22 May, 2015, there were 12 officers killed by gunfire, one run down by a criminal, and one beaten to death. That is a total of 14 sworn Law enforcement officers killed so far in 2015. That is just under thirty percent of the total.
That is also 20 percent less than the total of officers murdered as of May 22, 2014. Which was less 21 percent less than the number murdered as of 22 May, 2012.
In the long term, the risk an officer faces of being murdered on the job is half of what it was in 1993 – when there were at least 172 million fewer guns in American’s hands.
It is sad that FOX has chosen to promulgate a lie; a lie spread to promote gun bans; when two minutes research would have demonstrated the falsity of the far left agitprop.
