“But some media outlets, police leaders, and law enforcement organizations continue to push the false narrative that policing is getting more dangerous, that cops are working in the equivalent of war zones, and so on.”
We all know that claim is utter bullshit-the only thing that makes it seem cops are working in a war zone is cops pretending they are SEALS,or Green Berets,or Force Recon Marines by dressing for the part.
Add in all the MRAP’s the .mil M-4’s , M-40’s,and M-24 versions of the Remington 700,the $5,000.00+ Nightforce scopes,the body armor,complete with helmet, their tacticool black ninja PJ’s,or brand new multicam, or some combination of the two.
These guys-the tacticool SWAT guys- apparently do not comprehend that black ninja PJ’s are for daytime raids-the morons do not even understand the purpose of black ninja PJ’s is to conduct NIGHTTIME operations.
Since when is this a police uniform? Since when do sheriffs need to have all the exact same gear that our military has,and use it against civilians?
Maybe,just maybe,serving warrants for non-violent crimes like this…
Explains why cops think our streets are a war zone-to them,it is,and the enemy is us!
“In terms of raw number of deaths, 2013 was the safest year for cops since World War II. If we look at the rate of deaths, 2013 was the safest year for police in well over a century. At the current pace, we can expect to see a 17 percent increase in on the job law enforcement fatalities this year over last year. That would put the total number of police officers who die on the job this year at 117, making 2014 the second safest year for cops in terms of raw fatalities since 1959. It would also put 2014 as the safest year for fatality rates in over a century. You’re more likely to be murdered simply by living in about half of the largest cities in America than you are while working as a police officer.”
The lie that it’s more dangerous to be a cop than just about every other job is what led to cops having gear like this…
They have the balls to claim the above is a “rescue vehicle” ??????
Okay,we know being a cop is not all that dangerous of a job,now we have the facts about cops being killed in the line of duty-and it proves that cops are not in all that much danger of being killed on the job-does their claim that they are doing a dangerous job entitle them to MRAP’s,tactical-and tacticool gear to conduct military style operations against citizens?
What I want to know is how many people the cops shot and killed in 2013-seems that is not readily available information for some reason……
“A cop who is constantly told that his job is dangerous and that every interaction with a citizen could be his last will naturally be more likely to reach for his weapon when it isn’t necessary.”
