I have been in attendance at a few national police conferences....I have no need to tell you how I feel. I have posted hiw I feel about police, and the everlasting respect for them. You choose to ignore and keep beating to change the subject.

You obviously haven't been reading some of the posts on this forum by members claiming the police are all racists and thugs. No I'm not going to list them for you, I've already read them.

In New York, one officer was stabbed in the neck and two were shot while trying to protect business from looters. Maybe that’s what you heard about. Thankfully, no one died.

Show even ONE post claiming that ALL police are "racists/thugs"...or admit you just made it up.

Go back and read some of your own posts.

[Get real]

Why do liberals always have to make everything about race? White guilt? Inferiority complex?

Why do most law abiding citizens support the police and not try to perpetuate the police brutality myth?

Why do most cops not want to work with other cops that are trouble? Why do most cops turn in bad cops?

Please respond with facts and not the Nazi rhetoric. (I know it's tough )

Here’s a List of the Police Killed or Injured During the Last Week’s Violence (this is what some call a "distraction")

3 dead so far, 2 of these were Black Officers

Police have been shot, stabbed, run over, and hit with objects across the country since the death of George Floyd during the custody of Minneapolis Police. These injuries and deaths have been unreported by the national media.
– A Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Officer, Shay Mikalonis, age 29, was shot in the back of the head while struggling with a rioter. It appears that Mikalonis survived brain-surgery, but he will likely never be the same after the attack.
– 12 other Las Vegas police were injured during the riots.
– An active shooter also opened fire on law enforcement at a Las Vegas courthouse.
– 4 St. Louis Police Officers were shot by an active shooter—thankfully, all four are out of hospital.
– A retired St. Louis police captain, David Dorn, was protecting a friend’s store from rioters and looters. They shot him while stealing “TVs.” A shocking video, livestreamed on Facebook, shows the 77-year-old black American laying in a pool of blood. Dorn’s death was little-covered in the national corporate media.
– A New York Police Officer was struck purposefully by a vehicle. He is currently in “serious but stable condition.”
– 3 Buffalo law enforcement officers were struck by a vehicle in front of the police station. 2 officers are now seriously hurt, and two civilians died from shootings that were not related to the police.
-3 Davenport, Iowa, law enforcement officers were ambushed and 1 was shot. 2 civilians were killed in the attempted killing of the police officer, including a young black woman.
– 132 officers were injured in Chicago during a riot. During that riot, there were 48 shootings and 17 homicides. It is likely that many of the homicide victims were black Americans.
– 9 Pittsburg officers were injured by objects during a riot.
– Up to a dozen officers in Rhode Island were injured during riots
– An active shooter opened fire at the Oakland Police Department. At the federal court house in Oakland, the scene of an anti-police protest, two officers were shot in a drive-by shooting. One of those men, Federal Protective Service Officer Dave Patrick Underwood, was shot dead. Underwood is a black American, and first and foremost, a hero.
– 2 officers were struck in the head with projectiles in Santa Ana.
– 2 Richmond, Virginia officers were shot. One of these officers has life-threatening injuries.
– At least 5 officers and 2 firefighters were injured during riots in Richland County South Carolina.
– 1 officer was struck in the head by a brick in Albany, New York. The suspect, an overweight white male aged 21, is now in custody.
– 4 Prince William County, Virginia officers sustained head injuries from projectiles, including large rocks.
– 7 officers were injured in Sacramento.
– Several officers were shot at and injured in Lynchburg, Virginia.
– Several Champaign, Illinois police officers were injured during protests that turned into a riot.
– 3 Oak Lawn, Illinois officers were injured.
– 21 officers were injured in Salt Lake City. What appears to be a mostly white crowd threw rocks and other objects at the officers.
– More than 50 Secret Service Agents were injured by objects thrown—including Molotov cocktails—in Washington, D.C. The “protestors” appeared to be trying to breach the White House fence.
– 3 Denver police officers were in a police Rapid Deployment Vehicle (RDV) when they were purposefully slammed by another vehicle. The impact also hurt a civilian standing nearby. The status of the civilian is not yet known, and one of the officers is still in the hospital.
– Well over 40 New York City police officers have been injured during riots, some severely. Multiple officers have been shot, stabbed, or hit with heavy objects. The latest incident involved a knife wielding attacker who stabbed an officer in the neck, and two other officers who were shot—one in the hands.
Videos from New York, that don’t appear to be widely reported in the media, show a cop getting slammed in the head with a heavy object, from behind, and a cop laying on the street after being shot.
– Multiple Atlanta, Georgia officers were injured during protests. One officer, a black American named Max Brewer, was run over by an ATV. The vehicle appears to have circled back in order to run him over. He remains in critical condition.
– 2 Capitol Police Officers were injured during a riot in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. According to pictures from the riot, it appears that some protestors attacked the officers. In one picture, a white man with long hair appears to be trying to attack officers wearing riot gear.

Thank you.

In the future, instead of just cut/paste, please include the source...so people can validate the info.

And by the way, I fully condemn every single one of these violent acts...toward law enforcement officers.

[Get real]

You can't condemn acts against law enforcement and then condemn law enforcement.

I don't know any, NOW. But my uncle and grandfather were police officers when I was growing up. I didn't know anyone at all that ran afoul of the law or who was in prison. I have observed that both Uncle Paul, my dad's younger brother and my grandfather, all of his life were law abiding. Uncle Paul could drink beer pretty well with the rest of the German family, but I don't recall my grandfather drinking at all. Certainly no drugs for either of them.

We often feel comfortable with situations that we have some personal reference to. That may be the reason I am inclined to believe that this awful hatred extending to many innocent police officers and other races is wrong and very, very, unfair and sad.

The point I was trying to make ( a poor attempt I guess), the generalization of the media. Not all media.......

Say what?

With an entity so large, of course you can condemn the acts of some of the entity...while also condemning acts of others toward them.

I didn't find it immediately, maybe someone else has the link...I read too that a Police officer was knifed in Brooklyn but not killed, yesterday..

Anyhow, I found this from CNN from last year about this time;

5 police officers were killed in 9 days - CNN

Numerous police in new york and many other states have been killed or seriously injured from the riots. NEw York alone had several killed. Just google it. Its all over the news everyday and its pathetic whats happening. These arent protests. Theyre riots
I know of at least 9 officers killed already and 3 were females. Im sure theres many many more all over the US. These riots arent just local

I am not sure what source you are looking at. Fox news has been listing all the officer deaths and attacks every night. A houston officer was shot in the back of the head this week, 2 shot in NY with the one stabbed in the neck, 4 more shot in NY earlier I think it was Sunday. 2 shot in Richmond Va Saturday night. Tut hats just the ones I remember.

[La lamy]

My boyfriend's son is a police officer and I do worry about him. Especially when people he's helped put in jail come back out. He doesn't seem particularly afraid of repercussion and he lives very far away from the city he works in, so hopefully all will go well for his career.
