-War on Police-

102 US police officers killed, 715 people killed by police in 2016

2016-10-11

[SA Today] The number of deaths of police officers in the United States was 102 to date in 2016, according to the latest data from the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund.

The data showed that the number of the police officers shot and killed so far this year is up more than 40 percent from last year.

The deaths included two police officers who were killed Saturday in Palm Springs, 170 km east to Los Angeles.

Californian authorities early Sunday arrested the suspect gunman, John Felix, a 26-year-old resident of Palm Springs, who had a history of violence in police records. He also wounded a third police officer.

The Obama administration's two pronged attack on the 'Rule of Law.' At the National level, through DoJ and the courts. At the local level, anarchy in the streets against our brave Law Enforcement community.

#7 Sorry P2k you're wrong. How effective they are allowed to be will depend on the nature of the laws the tyrant wants enforced.

God help the Tea Partiers 2nd amendment supporters and conservatives in general. Once the 1st amendment is "edited" to define what is not allowed the blood flow will begin.

When he was elected the first time I predicted that there would be financial mayhem, new war and possible civil war. I was right on two of them and if he doesn't manage the third it will be because he is as lazy as he is evil.

#6 National Police will be allowed to be as effective on crime as the Border Patrol is allowed to be effective in securing the Border.

#5 The aim here is to "Nationalize" the Police. It is one step from hard Tyranny.

Read their "playbook" so you may predict what evil you may do to another.

#4 Frank, the obvious answer is that we need stricter gun control laws on law abiding citizens.

#2 based on the NLEOMF website,

the 102 number includes officers killed in vehicle collisions, officers killed while outside their vehicle while struck by a vehicle, officers dead from job related illnesses,.etc. Number shot is about 30% of that 102 and includes officers killed accidentally.

#1 More on the shooter and his criminal record from the Desert Sun.

Felix, 26, was previously sentenced to four years in prison in an attempted gangland assassination. He was also the subject of a forceful arrest three years ago on the same doorstep where the Saturday shooting occurred. Investigators would not speak about Felix's criminal history during a news conference on Sunday, but confirmed he was "no stranger to the justice system."
