    And the military has killed far more civilians than cops...considering all the death & destruction they have caused, cops look like saints.

    The 2011 deaths were the first time that more officers were killed by suspects than car accidents, according to data compiled by the International Association of Chiefs of Police. The number was the highest in nearly two decades, excluding those who died in the Sept. 11 attacks in 2001 and the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995.


    The F.B.I., which has tracked officer deaths since 1937, paid for a study conducted by John Jay College that found that in many cases the officers were trying to arrest or stop a suspect who had previously been arrested for a violent crime.

    Let them keep thinking Ron Paul supporters are just a little army. Every military strategy manual in the world has examples of the bad things that happen to arrogant commanders of massive armies that underestimate the enemy. They all lose. We will win because the human heart, despite its detractors, is meant for truth and freedom.

    That is carefully worded cop-speak that could mean anything from a bar fight to false allegations of domestic abuse.

    Notice there is no allusion to "convictions"?

    It means that the F.B.I. and Attorney General Eric Holder were trying to stir sentiment into additional Federal funding for L.E. And that even though the statistics are not playing out in 2012 that they will continue to push the meme.

    Yes, it means nothing, statistically insignificant.

    The great "War on Cops" isn't, there are less this year than at any time in 60 plus years.

    It could also mean ... Violent criminals have no respect for life, and these officers died protecting the innocent from the criminal element.

    NOPE ... It's based on speculation, and is no different than the speculation used when one says never talk to cops

    Well for myself that comes with a caveat...

    Never talk to the cops...until you have have legal council and/or representation. Always remember, 'anything you say can AND WILL be used against you in a court of law.

    What does it matter? What is the purpose of making sure people know that some cops die while apprehending suspects? That doesn't change the statistical fact that cop deaths are down, and also that they are unconstitutional, regardless of what the death rates are. Why all the fussing over statistics anyway?

    I'll not argue this, at all ... There is a reason I advise those who carry or own a firearm to put a good lawyer on retainer.

    At the same time, telling a rape victim to get a lawyer before speaking to LE is kind of stupid ... YES ?

    There is no fuss going on ... You might percieve it to be this, but it's just an article, and you can comment/ignore it if you wish.

    Actually, that's based on real tangible, quantifiable information. For instance,

    "Anything you say can AND WILL be used against you in a court of law..."

    Also, the staggering number of cops killing civilians, which nobody seems to have a statistic for.

    Either way, it doesn't change the fact that they enforce bad laws and serve as an arm of the state for all its injustice. It also doesn't change the fact that it's an unconstitutional entity.

    Then why the back and forth? It's clear what your intentions were, which is to defend the armed thugs of the state. I call it fussing, I don't know what you call it. The article didn't come here by itself, with all its misleading information.

    Kinda hard to get killed when you shoot at anything that might even remotely resemble a threat. Of course... this strategy will only work for so long...

    And if that rape victim in the incident report,, even though at the time the victim may have been traumatized and not thinking coherently, were to divulge some information that would benefit the assailant at a later time allowing them to get away with the rape then what?

    Each case that an individual is involved in is 'the only one of it's kind' with regards to them personally. And should be met with knowledge of the system and not blind belief that 'justice' will be served.

    No, because the same rules apply in every case. If you talk to cops, you are more likely to have a negative outcome. Talk only to your attorney. The rest will be solved in court. The cops don't need to know anything in order for you to have a positive outcome in court.

    Kind of hard to file that assault claim and seek justice in court, without talking to them ... YES ?

    In my experience, if you don't take the trolls bait and act irrationally the topic will backfire in the trolls face. It looks like that happened.

    YET if one follows the advise to never talk to the cops, the chance for justice to be served is diminished to a vigilante act of retaliation ... YES ?

    Azxd, on the off chance you're not just trolling (which seems highly probable at this point), why do you defend the institution responsible for killing innocent people due in many cases to gross negligence, racism, or simple brutality?

    These are crimes the cops commit, and if a mundane were to commit them, they'd get sent to jail in a heartbeat. A cop does it, and gets a pat on the back? And that's fine with you?

    The "bad apple" argument won't cut it. If it were simply a case of bad apples, these bad apples would be sent to jail, or at the very least fired, which rarely happens.
