More than half of those assault allegations were flat out LIES!

And how many citizens did cops assault and kill last year?

GOOD....too bad it was just 'assualts' and not something more permanent!! 🙄😑 ACAB DefundThePolice

And 50% were “assaulted” when someone made contact with an officer’s arm when defending themselves against rough treatment. Standard practice.

Coronavirus was the 1 cause of death in the police department’s

Not even in the top 20 most dangerous professions. Lumberjacks have 135 serious injuries per 100k employed.

The anti-police crowd loses their minds that anyone should even care about the human beings behind the badge. I’m grateful to have police keeping the peace. Look at Haiti, Columbia, etc. where you get kidnapped in the middle of the day.

That's because people are entitled man babies why need a safe place when there whittle feelings get hurt, but dont for get the box of tampons to whipe your tears away.. smh sorry how soft America has become.

CHECK into EA. CASE & SPECIFIC DETAILS BEFORE RELYING on THOSE NUMBERS! In SAN ANTONIO, TX, the SAPD 'TWEEKS' THE TRUE/REAL FACTS to MAKE THEIR OFFICERS the 'VICTIMS' in COUNTLESS INCIDENTS to JUSTIFY THEIR EXCESSIVE/UNJUSTIFIED USE of EXCESSIVE FORCE!

Ok well lets try reporting on violence against healthcare workers. Who arent armed with lethal weapons or have any real defense training.

Guns for everyone 🔫

That's because of our court system corruption and red tape.

COVID killed more law enforcement officers than all other causes combined in 2020, and will easily do the same in 2021

Yet 🤔how many has fLAWed👮🏻‍♂️enFORCEment assaulted & killed

Thanks for sharing those stats. That’s sad and stressful what police have to deal with. They are hated by many in our society. 😢

FBI let Antifa run wild all summer long where police were defunded/hamstrung.

SHOCKED you’re even reporting this

And how many they killed? How many lives they destroyed?

Hmmm Weird how nobody cared about this when all the thug life mf's were killed by the cops last year. And ppl still wonder why cops are quick to pull their weapon. Lol! Put yourself in their shoes. Their main duty is to make it home to their families at the end of the day!

No shit, after ppl like you trashed them all last year….

By Ghetto thugs

They're just gonna drive truck. Why bother with ungrateful idiots.
