Warrior criminals are out of control

[DarrinS]

Any murder of a police officer is a tragedy. (As is any murder of a non-police officer.) But media outlets, politicians, and police advocates do real damage when they push this false narrative about a rising threat to law enforcement. First, this sort of propaganda weights the public debate and discourse. When there’s a fictional “war on cops” blaring in the background, it becomes much more difficult to have an honest discussion about police cameras, police militarization, use of lethal force policies, police discipline, police transparency (https://twitter.com/romenesko/status/639220767553626112), training, police accountability, and a host of other issues. Of course, that’s precisely the point.http://i57.tinypic.com/qswqqw.png

Radley Balko with the goods:


So when police advocates say that 2014 saw an 80+ percent increase in homicides of cops over 2013, remember a few things: First, 2013 wasn’t just an all-time low, it was an all-time low by a significant margin. Second, the 2013 figure was so low that even a small increase will look large when expressed as a percentage. Third, the figure for the following year, 2014, (51 officers killed) was essentially consistent with the average for the previous five years (50 killed), and still lower than any five-year average going back to 1960. (See this graph (http://i1.wp.com/danwang.co/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/average-police-fatalities-decade.png), also from Wang.) Fourth, again, 2015 is on pace (35 killings) to be lower than any year but 2013. Another common response from police organizations and their advocates is that the reduction in fatalities is due to better medical care and improvements in protective gear such as bulletproof vests. Both things are undoubtedly true. But assaults on police officers are in decline as well. That is, not only are fewer people killing police officers, fewer people are trying to harm them. These graphs from Stoughton show the raw numbers of assaults on police:


https://img.washingtonpost.com/news/the-watch/wp-content/uploads/sites/22/2015/09/AssaultGraph.jpg

https://img.washingtonpost.com/news/the-watch/wp-content/uploads/sites/22/2015/09/WeaponGraph.jpg


As you can see, at best you could argue that assaults on police with firearms are about even with where they’ve been for most of the last decade, save for a dip in 2009 and 2010. But these too are raw figures. When we look at the rate of assault on cops, from either the perspective of total cops or total population, the downward trend once again becomes more pronounced. From Daniel Bier (http://blog.skepticallibertarian.com/2014/08/21/methodological-notes-on-police-fatalities-and-assaults/), here are two graphs looking at the assault rates on police officers.


https://img.washingtonpost.com/news/the-watch/wp-content/uploads/sites/22/2015/09/20150320_assaultandinjuryrates1.png

Any murder of a police officer is a tragedy. (As is any murder of a non-police officer.)

Of course, that’s precisely the point.


But there’s also a much more pernicious effect of exaggerating the threats faced by law enforcement. When cops are constantly told that they’re under constant fire, or that every interaction with a citizen could be their last, or that they’re fortunate each time they come home from the job in one piece, it’s absolute poison for police-community relations. That kind of reminder on a regular basis would put anyone on edge. We’re putting police officers in a perpetually combative mindset that psychologically isolates them from the communities they serve. Incessantly telling cops that they’re under fire can condition them to see the people with whom they interact not as citizens with rights, but as potential threats. That not only means more animosity, anger and confrontation, it can also be a barrier to building relationships with people in the community — the sorts of relationships that help police officers solve crimes and keep communities safe.

[Winehole23]

One last point: I’ve seen some police officials and their advocates respond to these statistics by pointing out that even if assaults and killings of cops are down, anti-police rhetoric is increasing. Therefore, they say, they’re justified in proclaiming that there’s a war on the police. This is nonsense. Police agencies are government agencies. They’re government agencies in whom we entrust the power to detain, arrest, and kill. Yes, it’s true that some people are demanding more of those agencies. It’s true that personal technology is enabling people to create an independent video narrative of their interactions with police. It’s true that those videos have sometimes revealed police misconduct and brutality, and that police officers, like all people, sometimes mis-remember, misstate, and outright lie when recounting contentious, traumatic, high-stakes incidents. And it’s true that because of all of this, the public as a whole today finds police officers as a whole less trustworthy than in the past (http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/aug/26/public-trust-police-low-poll-finds/). It’s also true that some activists, pundits, and politicians are demanding more accountability, transparency, and training for police.


None of these things are indicative of a “war.” On the contrary, all of this new skepticism, criticism, forced transparency, and mistrust of the police is — again — coming even as violence against police officers is reaching historic lows. This is how a democracy is supposed to work. It’s something worth celebrating.


Instead, police groups and their advocates are claiming that the mere act of criticizing a government entity is akin to declaring war on it, and that therefore, police critics are culpable every time a police officer is murdered. (And given the way they ignore and abuse statistics, those critics are also apparently culpable for a lot of murders that never happened.) They’re essentially saying that exercising constitutional rights and participating in democracy are in and of themselves acts of violence. And in many cases, this is coming from the very people that the government empowers to use actual violence.


That is something worth worrying about.

I don't agree with him on many/most of his views, but he is consistent and the last thing he does is "hop" on bandwagons (hilarious coming from you, the site's biggest bandwagoner).

from the article posted above :
In 2015, 44 police officers have been killed across the United States, according to Officer Down Memorial Page, which tracks officers killed in the line of duty. Of that total, 12 died as a result of car accidents, 11 died of heart attacks, 10 were shot and others died as a result of being struck by vehicles, vehicle pursuits, assaults or accidents.

While the FBI keeps a meticulous record of the number of police killed in duty, the number of people killed by the police is largely unknown.

Police departments are not required to report to the federal government how many people they kill each year. Instead, law enforcement agencies have the option to self-report. As recently as 2012 only about 4% of America’s 17,000 law enforcement agencies have self-reported their homicide totals to the FBI.

Those 44 weren't killed feloniously. Article doesn't make that clear but the fbi.gov link does.

"An additional 44 officers were accidentally killed in the line of duty in 2014. This total represents five officers fewer than the 49 officers who were accidentally killed in 2013. By region, 19 officers died due to accidents in the South, 13 in the West, seven in the Northeast, four in the Midwest, and one in Puerto Rico."

[TheSanityAnnex]

Face it: the war on cops is a lie. About the biggest one you could tell. No stats to support it.
Preliminary statistics released today by the FBI show that 51 law enforcement officers were feloniously killed in the line of duty in 2014. This is an increase of almost 89 percent when compared to the 27 officers killed in 2013. (Note: From 1980–2014, an average of 64 law enforcement officers have been feloniously killed per year. The 2013 total, 27, was the lowest during this 35-year period.) By region, 17 officers died as a result of criminal acts that occurred in the South, 14 officers in the West, eight officers in the Midwest, eight in the Northeast, and four in Puerto Rico.
By circumstance, 11 officers died from injuries inflicted as a result of answering disturbance calls (one of which was a domestic disturbance). Ten officers were conducting traffic pursuits or stops, eight were killed as a result of ambushes (six due to entrapment/premeditated situations and two during unprovoked attacks), and six officers were investigating suspicious persons or circumstances. Five officers sustained fatal injuries while they were performing investigative activities, four while they were engaged in tactical situations, three officers were handling persons with mental illness, and one officer was slain during a drug-related matter. Three officers were killed while attempting other arrests.
Offenders used firearms in 46 of the 51 felonious deaths. These included 32 incidents with handguns, 11 incidents with rifles, and three incidents with shotguns. Four victim officers were killed with vehicles used as weapons, and one was killed with the offender’s personal weapons (hands, fists, feet, etc.).
Thirty-five of the slain officers were confirmed to be wearing body armor at the times of the incidents. Five of the 51 officers killed fired their own weapons, and six officers attempted to fire their service weapons. Seven victim officers had their weapons stolen; one officer was killed with his own weapon.
The 51 victim officers died from injuries sustained in 48 separate incidents. All 48 of those incidents have been cleared by arrest or exceptional means.

Note: From 1980–2014, an average of 64 law enforcement officers have been feloniously killed per year. The 2013 total, 27, was the lowest during this 35-year period

I was talking about 2014 and the FBI report and assumed glanced over the 44 killed.

https://www.fbi.gov/news/pressrel/press-releases/fbi-releases-2014-preliminary-statistics-for-law-enforcement-officers-killed-in-the-line-of-duty?utm_campaign=email-Immediate&utm_medium=email&utm_source=national-press-releases&utm_content=428743

Preliminary statistics released today by the FBI show that 51 law enforcement officers were feloniously killed in the line of duty in 2014. This is an increase of almost 89 percent when compared to the 27 officers killed in 2013. (Note: From 1980–2014, an average of 64 law enforcement officers have been feloniously killed per year. The 2013 total, 27, was the lowest during this 35-year period.) By region, 17 officers died as a result of criminal acts that occurred in the South, 14 officers in the West, eight officers in the Midwest, eight in the Northeast, and four in Puerto Rico.
By circumstance, 11 officers died from injuries inflicted as a result of answering disturbance calls (one of which was a domestic disturbance). Ten officers were conducting traffic pursuits or stops, eight were killed as a result of ambushes (six due to entrapment/premeditated situations and two during unprovoked attacks), and six officers were investigating suspicious persons or circumstances. Five officers sustained fatal injuries while they were performing investigative activities, four while they were engaged in tactical situations, three officers were handling persons with mental illness, and one officer was slain during a drug-related matter. Three officers were killed while attempting other arrests.
Offenders used firearms in 46 of the 51 felonious deaths. These included 32 incidents with handguns, 11 incidents with rifles, and three incidents with shotguns. Four victim officers were killed with vehicles used as weapons, and one was killed with the offender’s personal weapons (hands, fists, feet, etc.).
Thirty-five of the slain officers were confirmed to be wearing body armor at the times of the incidents. Five of the 51 officers killed fired their own weapons, and six officers attempted to fire their service weapons. Seven victim officers had their weapons stolen; one officer was killed with his own weapon.
The 51 victim officers died from injuries sustained in 48 separate incidents. All 48 of those incidents have been cleared by arrest or exceptional means.
An additional 44 officers were accidentally killed in the line of duty in 2014. This total represents five officers fewer than the 49 officers who were accidentally killed in 2013. By region, 19 officers died due to accidents in the South, 13 in the West, seven in the Northeast, four in the Midwest, and one in Puerto Rico.
Twenty-eight of the officers died as a result of automobile accidents, six were in motorcycle accidents, and five were struck by vehicles. Two of the officers were killed from accidental shootings, one from drowning, one from blunt force trauma, and one died as a result of smoke inhalation.
Of the 28 officers who died due to automobile accidents, 15 officers were wearing seatbelts. 10 officers were not wearing seatbelts (six of whom were ejected from the vehicles), and seatbelt use was not reported for three of the officers who were killed due to automobile accidents.

If Goforth wasn't there in an official capacity as a peace officer as he was said to be initially, the capital murder charge Miles faces for killing an officer in the line of duty would be downgraded to a murder charge, which could save him from the death penalty. - See more at: http://www.texasmonthly.com/the-daily-post/why-would-it-matter-if-deputy-goforth-was-having-an-affair/#sthash.UfZp3N6b.dpuf

According to the Tribune, September ended (http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-chicago-multiple-shootings-met-20150929-story.html) with two consecutive weekends during which more than 50 people were shot. There more than 40 shootings each weekend in August.

Baltimore's bloody summer ended with a barrage of bangs, as the rate of homicides and gun crimes continued to spike in the wake of the racially charged case of Freddie Gray, whose death in police custody left citizens angry and cops demoralized.

For September, homicides were up 39 percent and non-fatal shootings nearly doubled over the same month in 2014, continuing a disturbing trend that has gripped the Charm City since Gray's death in April and the rioting that followed. For the year, murders are up 52 percent and non-fatal shootings 80 percent over last year.

"We have highly motivated bad guys in Baltimore," Baltimore police spokesman T.J. Smith told FoxNews.com.

For the year, the 246 homicides recorded through Sept. 26 put Baltimore dangerously close to the record pace of 1993, when 353 people were victims of homicide. The fact that the spike occurred after April 19 bodes even worse: Before the unrest following the Gray arrest, Baltimore had recorded 65 homicides for the year. A four-decade high of 42 homicides in May was topped in July when 45 people were killed in homicides (http://www.foxnews.com/us/2015/08/01/baltimore-killings-soar-to-level-unseen-in-43-years/), making Baltimore the second deadliest city in America on a per capita basis, trailing only St. Louis.

Police Leaders Join Call to Cut Prison Rosters

More than 130 police chiefs, prosecutors and sheriffs — including some of the most prominent law enforcement officials in the country — are adding their clout to the movement to reduce the nation’s incarceration rate.

Asserting that “too many people are behind bars that don’t belong there,” the officials plan to announce on Wednesday that they have formed a group to push for alternatives to arrests, reducing the number of criminal laws and ending mandatory minimum prison sentences.

http://mobile.nytimes.com/2015/10/21/us/police-leaders-join-call-to-cut-prison-rosters.html

I figure the lobbyists for the multi-$B Prison Industrial Complex, PIC, will buy enough (Repug) politicians to block any attempts to reduce the prison population.

Repugs will, w/o any doubt, block spending any money on mentally ill, or on rehabbing the substance-abuse addicted, or on education and training in prisons.

Repugs' evangelical faux-Christians love punishing people, just as Christ would do.

And we have seen Repugs reduce spending on K-12 (union-busting, teacher-busting as dictated by ALEC and paid for by the oligarchy), which especially denies opportunities for blacks and browns to get an EQUAL education to whites.

Authorities have charged a New Florence man with homicide after he allegedly shot a St. Clair police officer responding to a domestic violence call. A tip led troopers to Ray Shetler Jr., 31, who was found walking along a road about 3 a.m. Sunday near a power plant just outside of New Florence. He is accused of shooting Officer Lloyd Reed Jr., 54, on Saturday night after Reed responded to a reported domestic situation at a home on Ligonier Street. Reed was pronounced dead at Conemaugh Memorial Medical Center in Johnstown.

A Nebraska police officer has been shot and wounded and another officer physically assaulted during a confrontation that began as a traffic stop. Lincoln, Nebraska, Police Chief Jim Peschong said the injuries to the officers were not life threatening, according to the Lincoln Journal Star.

City officials released a statement saying police confronted a man with a felony history after a disturbance call and he took out a gun, sparking an exchange of fire that left the suspect dead.

Family members, friends and colleagues of slain Downey police Officer Ricardo "Ricky" Galvez remembered him Monday morning as a humble, hard-working man with an infectious smile.

Galvez was shot to death on Nov. 18 in what officials believe was a botched robbery attempt.

The 29-year-old was attacked while sitting in his car in civilian clothes next to the Downey Police Department. He had just returned from a K-9 training session. Three male suspects, including two teenagers, are facing murder and attempted second-degree robbery charges.

A University of Illinois at Chicago student has been arrested and will face charges for an online threat to kill at least 16 "white devils" in revenge for the death of Laquan McDonald who was shot 16 times by police.

"This is my only warning. At 10AM Monday morning, I'm going to the campus quad of the University of Chicago. I will be armed with an M-4 carbine and two desert eagles, all fully loaded. I will execute approximately 16 white male students and or staff, which is the same number of time McDonald was killed," the Chicago Tribune reports (http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-university-of-chicago-gun-threat-met-20151130-story.html). The message continued, "I will then die killing any number of white policeman in the process. This is not a joke. I am to do my part and rid the world of white devils. I expect you do the same."

The threat was left on a website called worldstarhiphop.com over the weekend. A reader alerted the FBI to the threat on Sunday morning. After day long discussions between the FBI and local authorities, University President Robert Zimmer decided to cancel classes Monday.

2015 was one of the safest years on record for cops:


Compare current numbers to the 1970s, when gun-related police deaths were about six times higher than they are today. Or during the Prohibition era, which saw police deaths involving firearms at rates 14 to 17 times higher than present day.


Police are also facing less nonlethal violence today. While the FBI hasn’t released data for 2015, the data through 2014 clearly illustrates a downward trend in assaults against cops over the last decade.

I say the police should give the councilman what he wants and "not come around there anymore." When crime and murder explodes like it did in Baltimore and people start begging the police to come back, their response should should be, "sorry, we'd rather not have rocks thrown at us and be smeared as racists around the world for arresting criminals. You should have appreciated the job we did when we did it."

A Prince George's County police officer was killed in what police are calling an "unprovoked attack" outside police headquarters in the Palmer Park area of Landover, Maryland.
Police have identified the fallen officer as 28-year-old Jacai Colson, a four-year veteran of the Prince George's County Police Department. Colson was a narcotics officer and would have celebrated his 29th birthday this week.


"It is my sad duty to come to the community this evening and to tell you that one of your defenders, Jacai Colson... lost his life in defense of this county today," Prince George's County Police Chief Hank Stawinski said in a news conference Sunday night.
Stawinski said Colson was killed in an "unprovoked attack" on the District III police station at about 4:30 p.m. when one man started firing a gun at officers.


"It wasn't about anything. This man launched an attack on a police station and engaged several Prince George's County police officers in a gun fight, to which they responded -- heroically."
The suspect was arrested at a Popeyes fast food restaurant nearby.


A second suspect was arrested a short time later. One suspect was wounded and taken to the hospital. Police could not confirm if the suspect was shot by an officer and said he is stable and is expected to survive.
Police do not believe there are any more suspects.


Colson was transported to Prince George's Hospital Center in the back of a police cruiser and later pronounced dead.
"This is truly a dark day in Prince George's County. An unwarranted, unprovoked attack on our officers at a police station," said John Teletchea, Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 89 president. "We would ask for the community's prayers at this time...and we would ask for God to bless Prince George's County so we never see a day like this again."


Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan has ordered the flags to fly at half-staff in honor of Colson. He released the following statement:
"I am shocked and saddened by the news this evening of the death of Prince George's County police officer Jacai Colson in the line of duty. Our administration is committed to assisting Prince George's County officials during this time, and the Maryland State Police are working closely with local law enforcement to provide support as needed. The First Lady and I send our sincere prayers to the family and loved ones of Officer Colson, who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to his fellow citizens and community. It is my hope that his proud legacy of commitment and passion for law enforcement and serving others will provide some comfort in the difficult days that lie ahead."

Two weeks ago in Prince William County in Virginia, 28-year-old Officer Ashley Guindon was shot and killed (http://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/Virginia-Officer-Killed-Her-1st-Day-on-Job-is-Set-for-Burial-371261401.html) on her first day on the job. Two other officers were also shot (http://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/Two-Prince-William-Officers-Who-Were-Shot-on-Domestic-Violence-Call-Recovering-Well-371056481.html). They were responding to a domestic dispute at a home in Woodbridge

He shared photos showing his bruised and bloody face after the attack.
Police said Owens did indeed suffer an attack — but he brought it upon himself.

A two-week investigation revealed he was the aggressor in a series of drunken disputes, lashing out after he heard a patron use a racial epithet at another man. Police released surveillance footage of the fights, which contradicted Owens’ claims of what happened.“Marcus was an active participant and even an instigator in three separate physical confrontations or assaults,” Iowa City Police Capt. Troy Kelsay said in a press conference.

[Winehole23]

One last point: I’ve seen some police officials and their advocates respond to these statistics by pointing out that even if assaults and killings of cops are down, anti-police rhetoric is increasing. Therefore, they say, they’re justified in proclaiming that there’s a war on the police. This is nonsense. Police agencies are government agencies. They’re government agencies in whom we entrust the power to detain, arrest, and kill. Yes, it’s true that some people are demanding more of those agencies. It’s true that personal technology is enabling people to create an independent video narrative of their interactions with police. It’s true that those videos have sometimes revealed police misconduct and brutality, and that police officers, like all people, sometimes mis-remember, misstate, and outright lie when recounting contentious, traumatic, high-stakes incidents. And it’s true that because of all of this, the public as a whole today finds police officers as a whole less trustworthy than in the past (http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/aug/26/public-trust-police-low-poll-finds/). It’s also true that some activists, pundits, and politicians are demanding more accountability, transparency, and training for police.


None of these things are indicative of a “war.” On the contrary, all of this new skepticism, criticism, forced transparency, and mistrust of the police is — again — coming even as violence against police officers is reaching historic lows. This is how a democracy is supposed to work. It’s something worth celebrating.


Instead, police groups and their advocates are claiming that the mere act of criticizing a government entity is akin to declaring war on it, and that therefore, police critics are culpable every time a police officer is murdered. (And given the way they ignore and abuse statistics, those critics are also apparently culpable for a lot of murders that never happened.) They’re essentially saying that exercising constitutional rights and participating in democracy are in and of themselves acts of violence. And in many cases, this is coming from the very people that the government empowers to use actual violence.


That is something worth worrying about

An Alabama mother said her 17-year-old son — who had recently voiced his support for law enforcement amid protests over fatal police shootings — was severely beaten in an empty parking lot in Sylacauga, an attack she called a racially motivated hate crime.

Brandi Allen told Fox affiliate WBRC (http://www.wbrc.com/story/33299599/mother-of-sylacauga-hs-student-says-assault-could-have-been-prevented) that her son, Brian Ogle, suffered a skull fractures in the brutal attack following a Friday-night football game.

“Apparently he was hit with something — what is presumed to be the butt of the pistol on his face,” she said. “He has stitches and he’s got bruising, real bad bruising on his shoulder. There’s a lot of wounds on the back of his head from being hit as well.”

“Instead of us planning for his 18th birthday, we’re here. Why? Because he made a statement that he backs the blue,” Allen told the news station.

“I’m trying to understand how anyone — I don’t care the color of their skin — could do this to another human being.”

[Clipper Nation]

Chicago’s top cop said Thursday one of his officers was seriously beaten at an accident scene because the national focus on police shootings has caused officers to second-guess themselves.

Superintendent Eddie Johnson (http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/crime-law-justice/law-enforcement/eddie-johnson-PEGPF00184-topic.html) said the patrol officer told him she did not use her gun to defend herself for fear of a backlash. "She didn’t want her family or the department to go through the scrutiny the next day on national news," he said.

The injured officer, a 17-year Chicago police (http://www.chicagotribune.com/topic/crime-law-justice/law-enforcement/chicago-police-department-ORGOV000080-topic.html) veteran, got into a struggle with a man who allegedly was high on PCP after she stopped at a crash scene in the Austin community on the West Side on Wednesday morning.

The suspect smashed the officer's face into the pavement repeatedly until she was unconscious, police said.
