Deadly 'War On Cops' Sparks US Tactic Review
Spotted by another friend a news story picked up by a mobile phone website: http://web.orange.co.uk/article/news..._tactic_review
There is a short video clip by Sky News and the story opens with:
Quote:
A series of shootings has left 15 officers dead in January alone - with 11 killed in one 24-hour period alone.
I do recall twenty five years ago the death toll for US LE was cited on a Rochester PD duty parade as several a week, occasionally one a day.
Is this a media furore or does it reflect concerns on the ground and further up the command / political chain?
Far-right extremists are quietly murdering police officers
A report on 'Think Progress' via Twitter and sub-titled:
Quote:
Data shows dozens of officers have been murdered by the far-right over the last decade. But no one seems to be talking about it.
Several graphics and a map that shows Florida is a "hot spot".

Law enforcement has been demonised: Two Florida officers shot dead
Quote:
Two sheriff's deputies in Florida have been killed after a gunman shot them through the window of a restaurant where they were eating, police say.
The title is from the Gilchrist County Sheriff's comments:
Quote:
I don't have answers to why this happened....What do you expect happens when you demonise law enforcement to the extent it's been demonised? Every type of hate, every type of put-down you can think of...The only thing these men were guilty of is wanting to protect you and me. They just wanted to get something to eat, and they just wanted to do their job.
