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?

The very decades long improvements is the likely cause. Aggressive policing drove down crime to the point it became counter productive, while misguided notions that the criminal underclass could somehow be deterred by relaxing enforcement have created a vacuum.

Aggressive policing has produced a large number of police murders. Unfortunately for those who lost their lives and their families.

In your alternative universe the cops are death squads hunting POC while the rest of us here in reality are seeing 4 k extra murders of the same mostly POC killed in our cities while “reform” DA’s do podcasts and PBS documentaries.

It’s not either-or. It sounds like you think the solution is more police murders and you don’t recognize that most of these murders are of minorities.

You are delusional. Another 100 shot and a dozen killed in Chicago this week, Oakland hitting a 20 year high in homicides, SF doubles in people shot for the year. It ain’t the police murdering and shooting these people. It’s fools like you that of have unleashed this on us.
