More police officers died when Reagan was President than during Obama's terms. A fact you can look upA lot of people died on 9/11, BL. Many of them were cops trying to rescue victims from the twin towers. And your claim that the number of police officers hunted down and killed during Odumbo's term is "about the same" is bogus and refuted by Leoka which reported that there was a 70% increase in police murders between 2008 and 2012: that'd be on Odumbo's watch.
Data from the Officers Down Memorial Page, which tracks law enforcement officer fatalities in real time, illustrates the point. During the Reagan years, for instance, an average of 101 police officers were intentionally killed each year. Under George H.W. Bush that number fell to 90. It fell further, to 81 deaths per year, under Bill Clinton, and to 72 deaths per year under George W. Bush.
Under Obama, the average number of police intentionally killed each year has fallen to its lowest level yet — an average of 62 deaths annually through 2015. If you include the 2016 police officer shootings year-to-date and project it out to a full year, that average of 62 deaths doesn't change. Originally Posted by BigLouie
I can say the same about you blaming Obama. I say the racial tension stems from so many Whites acting out . The amount of Black folks killed by cops is higher now also. People are tired of it. Every action has a reaction. I guess you could stretch it and say Cops were not so trigger happy until Obama won the election. Had that not happened Blacks would not be compelled to respond in kind.You evidently missed post #307; the stats were posted there. Odumbo's anti-cop rhetoric and his pandering to the BLM movement as sparked the increase in police murders.
And no I am not in support of anyone killing anyone. I just know its a byproduct of oppression.
You can not go anywhere is the Dallas area and not see some dipshit with a rebel flag. Funny, I have yet to see even one Confederate flag just the Navy jack that has been pirated by the rednecks. Actually I have been looking for the numbers of intentional cop killings for other years and have not found a reliable source yet. maybe you can share or were you just speculating?
