Well Bucky being utterly unable to factually establish his claims that the only reason that deaths have gone down is 'bullet proof vests' takes the wind out of his sails. As he can't prove anything he's said.
While cop deaths being near a 30 year low is pretty much indisputable. This despite the fact that the number of cops has gone up. Meaning that the per-capita death rate for cops is even lower.
one dead cop is too many and it is why you are a libturd challenging cop deaths. Sad fk you are. I hope you need one and they never respond. fk you
What does 'challenging cop deaths' even mean? Who here supports cops being killed? Quote the poster.
I'm being factual. Cops deaths are near 30 year low. And that's with *way* more police officers than there were before. So the per capita rate of deaths for cops is even lower. If you disagree, tell me why.
But random cursing isn't actually an argument.
What does per capita death of cops mean?
That's the rate of officers in the line of duty dying as part of the total number of officers. If there are say, 100 deaths a year and 100,000 officers, the per capita rate of death in the line of duty is 1 in 1000.
If there are 100 deaths a year and 1,000,000 cops, the per capita rate of death would be 1 in 10,000.
Pretty big difference. We have MORE cops now than we did 30 years ago, but numbers of deaths of police in the line of duty near a 30 year low. That means that the risk to an individual officer today is lower than it was 30 years ago.
Which just kicks the shit out of any 'war on cops' horseshit.
And can I back up that we have more cops now than we did 30 years ago? Would you accept the
There are more than
900,000 sworn law enforcement officers now serving in the United States, which is the highest figure ever. About
12 percent of those are female.

"Highest figure ever' about covers it, yes?
And while this report caps out at 2008, it demonstrates a pretty clear direction in terms of the total number of officers:
