The NY shooter killed himself right after I thought?

[Mr VJP]

My prayers are for these, and all the officers out there everyday.

 

I think it should get worse.....for the people that are threatening to do the shooting that is.

 

It's about time for a huge crack down on people who want to do any crime without worry of getting killed, while trying to tie the hands of cops so they are in such danger on the job,  they get killed.

 

According to respected researcher Dr. John R. Lott, “In 2013, the assault rate for the general public in the United States was 229 per 100,000 people. But the rate police were assaulted that year was 9,300 per 100,000 officers – a rate 41 times higher. … This data also suggests that police are not actively looking for excuses to fire their weapons. The number of justifiable killings by police equals less than one percent of the assaults on police. Thus even when assaulted, police rarely resort to killing their attackers.”

As for police who do kill their assailants, according to Bureau of Justice Statistics, the rate of black officers who kill black felons is 32 per 100,000 black officers, which is more than twice the rate of white officers who kill black felons – 14 per 100,000 white officers.

 

 

I also applaud the officers for their action here:

He did.  I assume that's the Florida killer.
