Deaths of officers directly at hands of suspects this year:
0 in January 0 in February 6 in March 0 in April 2 in May
This means that in the 125 days of 2015, the police have been killed after being shot by a suspect, on average, every 375 hours.
According to an FBI report, Americans are less violent than ever, yet the police seem to be growing increasingly violent. These numbers seem to agree.
So why do so many still question the growing fear and mistrust of the American police? Quite simply because what we see on the MSM is NOT representative of the real state of affairs.
Jude,dirkgently,I think it's sadly to say the militirization of the police force that is causing these numbers they are out of control if it were the people you'd see a lot more chaos on the streets...
Jude the part you're missing is the number of arrest in relation to the number of people killed by police. From two other post I made about this your chances of death during an arrest are those approaching lottery percentages. Between the Media, Government even at the POTUS level, and black leadership you would think they are killing people wholesale. The numbers don't bear it out. This is a divisive control over a population through division. They are extraordinary salesmen in dispensing evil.
