More police officers have died from Covid-19 this year than have been killed on patrol. Gunfire is the second-highest cause of death.

That's according to the Officer Down Memorial Page , a nonprofit organization that tracks law enforcement fatalities in the line of duty.At least 101 officers have died from Covid-19, while at least 82 have died by other means, as of Thursday, according to ODMP. The organization is working to verify an additional some 150 officers who are presumed to have died after becoming infected on duty, said communications director Jessica Rushing wrote in an email to CNN.

Read MoreThe toll could surpass 9/11 officer deathsThe toll from the coronavirus pandemic has been so high that it could surpass the number of law enforcement officers who died as a result of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. "Based on the number of Covid cases we have coming in each day, we think it is very possible and even likely that COVID will surpass 9/11 as the single incident with the highest line of duty death toll in the country," Rushing said.

CNN Will soon be the first,and BLM the second.

But you hate cops so why do you care?

My prayers for all! I support good and honorable cops🙏 The bad apples need to be held accountable by their fellow officers. Peace to the souls of all that have lost their lives and to those that love them🌹❤️🙏

Maybe cause the rioters and protesters have been screaming and yelling in their faces passing germs and killing cops

I dont believe any story from CNN as you've proven to be an unreliable source.

Check it out

d

Oh! Well that makes it ok then, right?

🤥🙄

Boo hoo. That's what the racists signed up for.

Only for Americans

I wonder why? Will main stream media cnn ever mention the connection and the obvious?..

Wow that's shocking these guys pay the ultimate sacrifice give them a break 😷

all of this falls under the incompetence of trump. he is the one that called it a hoax, then went on to play golf...

most of the oinks that have died are from Texas and Louisiana, high covid areas. prison guards are counted amongst the dead as well...

And still he doesn’t give a fuck

All thanks to Trump’s lack of national plan

This is just sad, are police officers wearing mask, if not they should be. Why keep learning this lesson the hard way. Being ask to wear a mask is just like saying “buckle up.”😷😷😷😷stay safe everyone.

Acab 🤷🏻‍♂️💀

When will you stop ? Yes law enforcement is being spat on injured & killed by those you call “peaceful” Why dont you mingle w/ your friendly peaceful crowd in Portland ? Afraid they may turn on you like Wheeler ?

CNNFakeNews Do you buy into this BS

Gunfire from who? Say it CNN say it. Who are those shooting the police officers? You don't wan to say who they are, what percentage of the population commiting these crimes ... no worries we already know

Back to incorrect comparison. In most countries police deaths have been on the higher side than normal times. All frontline responders have had higher death rates.

Tell realDonaldTrump his pet snake is eating it's own tail

Pedestrian dies every 88 minutes Flu kills 359,000 and sickens 35million Not a peep from CNN like ever Global deaths from Wuhan Virus = 0.010 % Save your fear mongering CNN we see right through your BS every tv report & tweet you send has your own agenda means it's all..

How many law enforcement COVID-19 cases will result in those infected being incapacitated and unable to work for months because of LongCovid? Our long_covid Facebook group has over 20,000 members, in urgent need of rehab, research and recognition.

Trump has tried to confront Covd-19 for the police men! He really got on it putting Kushner in charge ! Renaming it the China Virus! PROMOTE 2 ways to prevent 1-Clorox 2-Mocking BIDEN for wearing the safest prevention MASKS! pro police NO WAY DANGEROUS

Not surprised. No Federal plan to contain the virus. Donald had failed to protect the nation. Closing in on 200,000 Americans dead. US is heading into 2 million dead Americans with Trump's herd immunity plan. I chose Democracy & Life. Vote for Biden/Harris2020

Ask Trump do he care? No!

They shouldn't be putting their life on the line protecting these looters who want them defunded

More have died as the Leaders denied them the option to mask up.

Of playing golf, our country should never be in this shape but then again we don’t have a leader do we my heart goes out to every officer that has passed away due to this Covid, I understand how you feel I have lost three

Again Eye say consider yourself fortunate enough to be blessed to see another day

Police in many areas were the first responders when someone suddenly couldn’t breathe and people called for help.

Maybe if they didn’t have to patrol riots and protests everyday that wouldn’t be the case.

Come on people, you are really going to believe this?

So COVID is.. good? I’m trying to keep up here.

But they love the man who hasn’t done anything to contain it ItIsWhatItIs BlueWave2020

We wouldn’t have lost so many of them if HCQ + zinc was available for use.

What is the catch-phrase? Thoughts and prayers? You can have it.

And more black people have been killed by police more than Corona virus..so its equal

SAD!!!!!

I’m sure the gunfire deaths were counted as covid-related as well.

Now that number is important just because more officers have died from Covid than on patrol, and, in this way, you can indict Trump, right?So when Covid didn't exist, why didn't CNN talk about all the officers killed on patrol?Now, it's only warning because it helps impeach Trump

And RealDonaldTrump keeps yammering on about how MUCH he Supports the Police Then why does he keep letting them DIE from COVID-19?

Blue lives matter!!!! Unless it’s from covid* MERICA Muh freedumb 🇺🇸

Coronavirus is a common cold. That's what is what called all throughout history, until 2020

So you are saying that Police officers lives are at risk and they are under siege just for doing their job everyday. BackTheBlue

CNN acting like they care about law enforcement. You can not make this stuff up!

But I though “Blue Lives” mattered?

😆😆😆🤡

Anti maskers have a look 😡

CNN you could be right. But you forgot to add that these officers are out in riots and that is one of the factors of the spread of the virus

We need you to promote more fear. Maybe we can Get everyone scared enough to wrap themselves in bubble wrap.

🤥🤥👖🔥

I don’t hate all cops, just the crooked, racist ones. How could this be? Wasn’t COVID supposed to just go away like POTUS said? It’s just a leftist hoax. Maybe if they would’ve injected themselves with bleach they would’ve been ok right? realDonaldTrump

Really, So who provided the statistics for you. Protesters aren’t affected that cool right. 😎

Well there you fucking go. Trump killed more cops than Black Lives Matter. Spoiler alert: Black Li ves Matter killed zero cops.

it’s still screw the police
