    Quoting NPR, The Washington Post and Chicago Tribune doesn't really help your argument. Any statistic can be manipulated to meet one's argument or statement.

    How about this FOX article?

    If you begin to asses variables in officer behavior or pro-activity linked to morale, the data on officers killed in the line of duty begins to take on a different perspective.

    Some of the pullback in officer pro-activity has been characterized as the "Ferguson Effect," or "ACLU Effect." These phenomena mark a fear on the part of the officer that his or her actions will be misjudged, mischaracterized, or even vilified and, thus, they refrain from engaging in any enforcement activity other than what they are legally and morally obliged to do.

    Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel even noted this phenomenon last year when he said that officers had "pulled back from the ability to interdict … they don't want to be a news story themselves, they don't want their career ended early, and it's having an impact."

    Sadly, data without context is no indicator of truth. The ongoing rhetorical war on police continues to make the average street cop's job more dangerous, difficult, and emotionally taxing.

    So, we should trust the Fox article that only cites two years of data versus the NPR article that cited 47.

    Lol. That's laughable. Absolutely nothing wrong with King's links.
    *The statements above are my opinions, unless they are links, because then they are links, which wouldn't make them my opinions, and I suppose stats aren't necessarily opinion, but they are certainly presented to support an opinion. Proceed accordingly.

    I'm so surprised this is your response! And, I'm indicating there are other sources of information available. Nothing more, nothing less.

    I mean, statistically speaking, the most recent years on record are a bit more valuable than the last 1/2 century - wouldn't you agree?

    Most of these incidents i will say both parties are in the wrong. If you ignore a cops demands and disrespectful you are asking for trouble. However cops are being excessive.

    Let me be clear - I'm not defending the bad police officers out there. But anyone who denies there is vitriol against the police today in general is just being ignorant.

    No. Because, statistically, there are too many anomalies in a two year period. There are not in 47 years.

    I'll remember this when you reference statistics in football. You know, "the game has changed" and all...

    It's a set of data points, Joe. Two is not enough to draw conclusions or trends from. That's basic. Some of your complaints about media are valid. This one was astoundingly dumb.

    No one has denied that - but the data shows it's safer to be a cop now. Meanwhile we see abuse by cops all the time.
