Now the ‘War on Cops’ is racking up a blue body count

“Wearing the badge shouldn’t make you a target,” FBI chief Christopher Wray warned Sunday — yet it clearly has. 

Murders of US police officers rose 59% in 2021, to 73 killed in the line of duty, even as the general murder rate was up less than half as much. Worse, Wray noted, all too many cops died from “being ambushed or shot while out on patrol.”

This follows word from the National Fraternal Order of Police that shootings of cops are up 43% so far in 2022, with 101 officers hit in the first quarter alone. 
It’s all because of greater disorder on our streets, the outlawing of proactive policing and a hatred for cops fueled by shameful progressive politicians.

Make no mistake: The whole anti-police narrative is fundamentally a lie. Minority Americans benefited most from the country’s success in driving down crime. New York City alone saw murders drop from 2,262 in 1990 to 292 in 2017 — which translates to tens of thousands of mostly black and Hispanic lives saved.
