2013: Fewest police deaths by guns since 1887

Updated: Monday, December 30 2013, 01:26 PM EST WASHINGTON (AP) -- A new report finds that the number of law enforcement officers killed by firearms in 2013 fell to levels not seen since 1887.

The annual report released Monday by the nonprofit National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund also found that deaths in the line of duty generally fell by 8 percent and were the fewest since 1959.

The number of firearms deaths fell 33 percent in 2013.

The report credits an increased culture of safety among law-enforcement agencies.

I'll give the other half of the statistic they just forget to mention...

"2013: Highest civilian deaths by police weaponry since 1887"

[Occam's Banana]

The report credits an increased culture of safety killing or beating the ever-loving hell out of anyone or anything that so much as looks at them cross-eyed among law-enforcement agencies.

Fixed it for them.

What happened to that "War on Cops" the government organs were bleating about a while ago?

Police: 3 dead after ex-cop vows 'war' on other police, their families
http://www.cnn.com/2013/02/07/us/lapd-attacks/

What about all the "right wing gun nuts"...more weapons and more CCW and more firearms sold than ever before.

Wasn't that supposed to bring on anarchy and "The Wild West".

No...

There is only one war being waged: War on Us.

You are ten times more likely to killed by cop than a terrorist.

[Neil Desmond]

What the hell? What's this obsession with deaths by firearms? Do deaths as a result of means other than firearms not matter?

What purpose do any statistics that cite deaths, injuries, accidents, crimes - whatever, by firearms serve other than for political agenda propaganda?

It's one thing if such statistics were used to make a case such as that more education on handling firearms responsibly is needed starting at the elementary school level, but it seems like the objective for bringing up such statistics is to oppress society and control it like cattle.

31 cops died by gunfire in 2013.

http://www.odmp.org/

Down 34 percent from last year.

Almost to the point of being statistically insignificant.

Remember that, next time they are whining and shedding crocodile tears about how dangerous and stressful their job is, after blowing some mundane away.

Guns kill people.. Didnt you get that memo?

I couldn't find a chart so I made one. This is total deaths, not just by firearms.

31 cops died by gunfire in 2013.

Down 34 percent from last year.

Almost to the point of being statistically insignificant.

Remember that, next time they are whining and shedding crocodile tears about how dangerous and stressful their job is, after blowing some mundane away.


A cop is the most dangerous job there is . In the logging industry there was only 62 deaths last year.Er wait ,nm .... disregard that last part.





1. Logging workers
The Job: Cut down and trim trees for sale and transport.
The Dangers: Falling trees, cutting equipment, difficult terrain.

Keep in mind these are figured on a "per capita" basis.

I'm guessing there are no more than 100,000 active lumbermen in the whole country, if that many.

There are over a million cops.

Didn't even make the list.

At 222 for 2012, I don't even think the Army would make that list.

Oh, and god damn it, it's FISHERMEN, not fucking "fishers".

God damn politically correct, Orwellian language mashers.

Fuck.
