A total of 1,501 law enforcement officers died in the line of duty during the past 10 years, an average of one death every 58 hours or 150 per year. There were 100 law enforcement officers killed in 2013.
Now, someone has compiled a list of police killings just based on news reports. It is 1018 just in 2014 only. And, police killed 748 people in 2013 between May and December.
And now I'm wondering if you're just trolling me. Your the guy that said case closed before ever having s chance to parse through all the details.
My eyes are wide open and I've read more then I care to read of the events and the reactions surrounding them
The police also escalate in response.
I disagree with this. The police often escalate on arrival. They have been trained to insist on immediate compliance to their barked commands. Often anyone not able to comply or not in the mood to be verbally abused will find themselves on the ground tased/sprayed/shot…..and then charged with "resisting" or "assault".
You can be charged with Assaulting an Officer for reflexively pulling away when a cop grabs your arm.
You can be charged with assault for injuring a cops hand with your face as Mr Leon was:

You can be charged with "destruction of property" for bleeding on their uniforms after they beat your ass.

Just because it hasn't happened to you doesn't mean it doesn't happen every day of the week.

Turns out righties rail against big government, because even they make themselves sick with their love for big government

THe only thing that stirred up racial hate is not indicting cops for killing unarmed men
No, it was the all too typical, the media got the story wrong and broadcast it all over the globe. Trayon was a punk, Michael Brown was a punk. Eric Gardner refused to cooperate with the police and his bad eating/health habits did him in more than the cops did.

There is a wisedom to live well and those people just do not get it.
The world is not about good vs evil.
The ignorance of people , particularly the freedom hating Americans that support the police state, is mind boggling.
But what can you expect from people that would blame a man's poor health as his cause of death, coincidentally happening at the exact instance a dumb ass LEO is choking the life out of him
It's wager 100$ these idiots couldn't even tell you what healthy diet and lifestyle looks like
"Everything in moderation" lmao
Including your police brutality
Vicents said: Vehicle and basic workplace hazard related is greater.
To emphasize this point further:
During the past three decades, 42% of police killed in auto accidents were not wearing seat belts, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration review. Law enforcement estimates of seat belt compliance hover around 50%, well below the 86% rate of compliance among the general public.
Where in the constitution does it state that a citizen must obey anything and everything a police officer commands, like a slave to his master

Now that's justice
You break the law, You die at the hands of a dumb ass cop
A total of 1,501 law enforcement officers died in the line of duty during the past 10 years, an average of one death every 58 hours or 150 per year. There were 100 law enforcement officers killed in 2013.
On average, over the last decade, there have been 58,261 assaults against law enforcement each year, resulting in 15,658 injuries.
Cops are in a bind?
Being a cop presumes likelihood of death?
Yep, but evidently not enough to matter to you. Perhaps your job is more dangerous? The food pyramid does have some nasty sharp edges, I'll give ya that.
Looks like when you put some context to your data, it looks like a sad argument. Half of those deaths were either self negligence out stupidity because they are too dumb to figure how to buckle their seatbelts. Wow
A total of 1,501 law enforcement officers died in the line of duty during the past 10 years, an average of one death every 58 hours or 150 per year.
There are over 460,000 local cops in the country (not including state, federal, military etc).
So if you're a cop, according to your numbers in a given year you have a bout a one in 3000 chance of being killed in a given year. With much of that risk being tied to how much time they spend in cars. Some of those cops drive a little too crazy when they are rushing to the scene of a crime.
Yes, that is very simple. Really I get it, that it's not an issue for me as long as I don't break the law or resist arrest. And I won't do the former. If I do, I won't do the latter.
But that has absolutely nothing to do with whether it's okay for a cop to kill someone who breaks the law or resists arrest.
Are you always so glib and stupid ? Or is that just a character you play on Patrick.net ?

Overused trigger fingers account for the majority of cop disability claims and early pensions.

Interesting, and if true the NYPD has some serious explaining and reforming to do. Doesn't change the fact that they didn't kill Garner. He died of a heart attack. Charge them with the crimes they actually committed against the man!
Right. He mysteriously died of a heart attach at the exact moment that they were choking him to death
And zero chance they have any explaining to do. this is one of the perks of the job. And with people like you that blindly believe their lies, It will continue. Probably get more frequent as more of their crimes get exposed and they see that they're never held accountable

And the Deep South supposedly has an incorrigible intolerance toward trans-racial community .
From: http://uptownmagazine.com/2014/12/sc-cop-richard-combs-shot-unarmed-black-man-bernard-bailey-charged-murder/
We’d thought this day would never come. A white South Carolina cop was charged with murder for the fatal shooting of an unarmed Black man in 2011. The Orangeburg County grand jury decision to indict Richard Combs on Wednesday was the same day a Staten Island grand jury declined to indict NYPD Officer Daniel Pantaleo for choking unarmed Eric Garner to death in July 2014.
Combs, former chief and sole officer in the small town of Eutawville, shot Bernard Bailey, 54, twice in the chest after a scuffle occurred when Bailey visited the Town Hall to argue about his daughter’s broken tail light ticket. According to prosecutors, Combs, 38, attempted to arrest Bailey on obstruction of justice charges. Bailey walked back to his car, where Combs followed. The pair quickly fought before Combs drew his gun, shooting Bailey, a 6-foot-6 former prison guard, twice in his pickup truck.
