    There is a short video clip by Sky News and the story opens with:

    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?

    Crazy media. You can look up every officer here www.odmp.org and find that 160 died last year. It varies year to year but is about that many.

    Personal note. I've personally known three officers shot in the line of duty in the last six months.

    The scholarship of teaching and learning results in equal hatred from latte leftists and cappuccino conservatives.
    All opinions are mine and may or may not reflect those of my employer depending on the chance it might affect funding, politics, or the setting of the sun. As such these are my opinions you can get your own.
