I have often thought police are more jumpy in this decade because so many people are now armed. Police overreact and innocent people lose their lives. Not excusing police who kill suspects. But I believe it is a factor. So frustrating we can’t get guns out of so many hands.

And so are arrests. A lot, all over. Funny how that works, the cops stop arresting criminals and like magic they shoot fewer of them. Too bad the criminals don’t play by the same rules, homicides up big everywhere and all.

So what's your bottom line point here

The drive to curtail police use of force including deadly shootings has had the unintended effect nationwide of slowing down arrests, thus igniting the crime wave we are seeing. The police are reluctant to engage and the criminals know it.

Oh ok. I think that's reasonable, but the decline in police killings has been over the last couple decades and coincided with large decreases in crime and slight decreases in the prison population

Serious tracking of police shootings has only been a recent effort and the numbers have been pretty constant, roughly 1 k a year. Huge drop in arrests the last 2 years and it makes sense the number of police shootings will decline as well. The criminals are safer that’s for sure

Crime declined until the political class, backed by the activists and media stupidly decided that blaming the police was the easy way out of the urban disfunction they’ve done next to nothing about for the last 30 years. Turns out the police were the only thing keeping the lid on

Yes, we were actually making progress reducing crime and the prison population and police killings. Then progressives reversed it. But why? To enrich themselves somehow? Budget problems at blue states? Land?

Your “facts” are wrong. We were not making “progress.”
