Everyone is blaming Obama for what seems like a lot of killings of police officers. Problem is police officer killings are way down during Obama's presidency and on pace this year for the lowest annual total this century. Here is the story and facts.
It's the difference between aggressive policing and cover your ass why bother policing...

There have been eight police officers killed by gunfire in just the past month, 24 total killed since the beginning of the year, counting yesterday’s shooting death of Lieutenant Charles Joseph “Joe” Gliniewicz of the Fox Lake Police Department in Illinois.

Last week, two Louisiana officers were killed by gunfire in separate incidents, and two officers in Mississippi were shot to death during a traffic stop in May. Police all across the nation are understandably on edge.

Amidst this unsettling atmosphere, someone in the Houston area thought it would be a good idea to stencil some graffiti of a police officer with a gun to his head.

ABC News 13 reports that they’ve seen the anti-cop graffiti in at least four spots in the Washington Ave. area, and have gotten reports of more than that.

As you might imagine, those in uniform say it’s incredibly disturbing to see this just days after a deputy was killed while pumping gas.

HPD Union President Ray Hunt said, “I can’t believe that there are people out there so heartless and so ruthless to put something on there before this deputy is even buried. It does nothing to help to help morale in the police department and does nothing to help the Goforth family.”

The police union has ordered 10,000 bracelets printed with the words ‘Pray for police.’ Officials are hoping to distribute the bracelets to the community next week.

ThePoliceNews, a website for police in Texas, reports that although ”dozens of police officers are slain on duty in any given year, active and retired police officers across the country said the recent bloodshed feels different.”

As the nation has been roiled by strong currents of distrust and fear of police that surfaced after last year’s killing of Michael Brown by a cop in Ferguson, Mo., an ugly byproduct of the turmoil has been a newfound willingness to do harm to those in uniform, many police officers say.

“Day to day, you’re a little more aware of your surroundings, you’re a little more skeptical of people,” said Rick Perine, a 17-year veteran of the Mesa, Ariz., Police Department.

Perine said he has found himself being “hyper-vigilant” since the killings in December of two New York City police officers, who were ambushed in their patrol car. Their killer had boasted on social media that he planned to kill cops in retaliation for the deaths of Brown and Eric Garner, who died during an arrest by officers in Staten Island, N.Y. Garner’s and Brown’s deaths — coming three weeks apart in 2014 — became part of a growing public outrage toward law enforcement.

“These days, if I don’t know you, I’m going to be extra guarded around you,” Perine said. “It is a different world.”
A statistically insignificant difference between the Obama and Bush II administration...move along.

Obama nor any president can be given credit for any trend up or down in police line of duty deaths. I bet cops have been brutalizing and killing more people under Obama. But we don't have to talk about that.

He had been written about a lot and is on big demand aa a witness for the police in these cases.

Try peddling that shit to the families of the slain police officers.

For them, one is too many.
You must be new here. BigLouie, the most intellectually disingenuous person on the the board, would tell you to "Google it."

BigLouie is also the person to tell you Cop Killings are "way down" when, if you read the link, they are down by 10%.

Here's a link to the info BL finally provided about who and what he meant about the consultant. I wouldn't get worked up over it.
