    War on....Cops killed in 2017 hits nearly 58-year low

    The night five Dallas officers were gunned down marked one of the deadliest days for law enforcement. As a whole, 2016 saw more deaths than in the five previous years, but something changed this year: Killings dropped.

    As of today, 128 officers have died in the line of duty, 44 of them shot and killed. That's down from 2016, when 135 officers died, 64 of them gunned down, according to data released by the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund.

    Deaths in 2017 have hit a nearly 58-year low. The only other year with fewer deaths since 1959 was in 2013, when 116 officers were killed.
    The numbers of people killed by officers actually jumped from 963 in 2016 to 971 this year, according to data compiled by The Washington Post.

    Driving is far more dangerous for everyone...

    Last year, the U.S. had the highest one-year percentage increase in traffic deaths in half a century, according to 2015 data released Wednesday by the National Safety Council (NSC). Initial estimates, which may be revised when more information becomes available, indicate that 38,300 people were killed on U.S. roads in 2015, and roughly 4.4 million sustained injuries that resulted in medical consultations.

    It's all about taking action and not being lazy. So you do the work, whether it's fitness or whatever. It's about getting up, motivating yourself and just doing it.

    Being in the house is roughly three times as dangerous.

    About 93,000 people die every year from slits, trips and falls around the house.

    I propose mandatory use of fall arresting gear and helmets, at all times while out of bed.

    Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

    Thank God!
    Finally officers can expect to return home at the end of their shift.
    Thank God for the training. If our officers were not trained to shoot first and let the judicial system sort out the particulars at a future date, our officers would not feel safe!
    Amen
