Did you know that police officers' use of force has been declining for a while?
I guess he didn't know that.
He certainly won't acknowledge it.

I certainly hope so.
Do you know that police gun deaths are down this year?
deadly conduct, not so much
Glad you admit that the War on Cops has been driven by a false narrative.

You do now.

The War on Cops is very real, Dave. Stop deflecting from the massive storm your fellow lib s have cooked up.Do you know that police gun deaths are down this year and that your War on Cops is a false narrative?
You do now.

David, you believe every false narrative the conservative media shoves down your throat. You follow them like you follow other posters here, just parroting things other people say. You have never had one original thought in your life.
lol
lol U really not denying any of it.
CN is totally indifferent to truth and falsity. he thinks lying for the side he wants to win is the good fight.
He's the best kind of toady follower for internet trolls and politicians: brainless and always angry.
The number of police officers shot and killed is down this year, and half killed are black
In the United States, the perception of truth often means more than truth itself. While theconservative media lies to blame the Black Lives Matter movement for the tragic shooting deaths of police officers, the mainstream media is rushing to cover what appears to be a dramatic increase in gun violence against police officers.Except, this isn't true. Our country is on pace to have fewer officers shot and killed while on duty this year than last year (and almost any year on record for that matter).
Often, people who are sympathetic to police will quote that 83 police have died in the line of duty in 2015. And that is true, but what they aren't telling you is that 13 of those officers had heart attacks or that 19 died in car accidents or that three died because of 9/11-related illnesses.
A total of 26 police officers have been shot and killed in the line of duty this year. Each of those is tragic and a reflection of the violence in our country. This, though, is not some race-based dramatic uptick in police shooting deaths. Forty-seven officers were shot and killed in 2014 and we are on pace to have fewer than that this year.
Comparatively,662 people have been shot and killed by police in America as of September 1 and a total of 792 people have been killed by police altogether this year.
Not only that, but as the media attempts to blame black activists for these deaths, the truth they aren't telling you is that half of all police who've been shot and killed this year were actually African Americans. That, though, is inconvenient for their narrative.
We should be able to have the emotional maturity and intellectual honesty to discuss these issues without misstating or skewing the facts (or outright lying about them). It only makes matters worse.
Not only that, but far more police are dying by suicide than they are at the hands of others.
Police officers are many times more likely to commit suicide than to be killed by a criminal; nine NYC policemen attempted to take their own lives in 2012, alone. Eight succeeded. In 2013, eight NYPD officers attempted suicide, while six succeeded. If police want to protect themselves, a wise move might be to invest in psychiatric counseling, rather than increased firepower.
Again, though, we don't hear these stories because they don't give the conservative media a chance to blame activists and leaders for anything.

Just curious, when you realized your emotions were manipulated in stories about the Abilene and Chicago police killings and potential ties to #BLM, did you feel embarrassed that you posted those stories here with the same implication?Glad you admit that the War on Cops has been driven by a false narrative.
Does it bother you that you were unable to pick up on obvious pandering? Do you feel your intelligence was insulted? Do you wonder if maybe you're just not all that bright, and does that bother you?
Between 1882 and 1964, 4,743 individuals were lynched. 3,446 blacks and 1,297 whites. Republicans often led the efforts to pass federal anti-lynching laws and Democrats successfully blocked those bills. Just saying.
"Democrats successfully blocked those bills."
... RACIST Confederate Dems. the parties' racial orientation has obviously flipped as racist Confederate Dems moved to, were induced to move to Repugs as the party of racists, white nationalists, xenophobes. A Repug Pres of today would NEVER do what Lincoln did.
one black man's interesting counter perspective.

#PoliceLivesMatter
the commies at the American Enterprise Ins ute throw cold water on "war on cops" hysteria:
https://www.aei.org/publication/is-t...ry-for-police/According to data available from the “Officer Down Memorial Page” on the annual number of non-accidental, firearm-related police fatalities, 2015 is on track to be the safest year for law enforcement in the US since 1887 (except for a slightly safer year in 2013), more than 125 years ago (see top chart above). And adjusted for the country’s growing population, the years 2013 and 2015 will be the two safest years for police in US history (see bottom chart above), measured by the annual number of firearm-related police fatalities per 1 million people.
Marxist-Leninists at Reason pile on:
https://reason.com/blog/2015/09/03/t...here-is-a-longIt bears repeating: There is no war on cops. There is a long overdue and very welcome national conversation about criminal justice reform and more going on. That's partly due to new forms of media that allow citizens to do ent how police do their job and, to their credit, it's also because police departments all over the country are trying to stop a long slide in citizen confidence.
and you're a mindless bandwagoner
Turn it around on yourself, CN. Isn't this what you accuse everyone else of being?
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, training, police accountability, and a host of other issues. Of course, that’s precisely the point.
