From the Barrel of a Gun

Friday, May 22, 2015

You're not actually being pro police...

...when you lie to push your agenda...
'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.

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.

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.

  • "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams
  • "There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." - P. J. O'Rourke.

---Jeff Cooper
