As if it were not hard enough to be a police officer in this hateful liberal climate. It appears their attitude is emboldening criminals to ambush police far more often. So now police have to deal with skeleton staffs due to budget cuts and a higher chance of being attacked on the job.
“According to records from the National Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) and the Officer Down Memorial Page (ODMP), 60 police officers across 45 U.S. states and territories have been killed in gunfire from January 1 to December 3 — a nearly 28 percent increase in fatal shootings of officers compared to all of 2020 when 47 officers were shot and killed.”
“As of November 30, FOP records state that 314 police officers have been shot since the beginning of the year. One hundred and nineteen of those shootings occurred in the midst of 95 separate ambush-style attacks on officers, resulting in 28 of the total gunfire deaths.
Ambush attacks on officers have increased nearly 130 percent since 2020.”
“Lieutenant Jason Pate of the Fort Myers Police Department (FMPD) whose job is to train officers on all situations, including ambush attacks, talked about how dangerous it is out there for officers.
“Any call we go on, there is the potential to be ambushed,” said Pate. Pate says preparing for the unpredictable requires unique training.
“We always try to bring in a scenario where there is something that surprises the officer, that something unusual happens with the officer. It might be, sitting down, having a meal while you (officer) are on duty, during firearms training, and then having a threat come out from behind something and you have to react to it,” said Pate.”
Blue states across the country have been looking into funding the police properly again, but really that’s not enough. Any officer who has persevered through BLM and this anti-police climate deserves more than that, we should commend them and give them a raise putting up with these foolish libs and the new dangers they now face.
