Yes stabbed one cop took his gun and shot 2 others they are all stable !! But if you watch the real news!!

[Saluce]

Several officers have been shot!!
Fox News 6/2 - 4 St Louis officers shot, non life threatening.
CBS 6/4 NYPD 2 shot, 2 stabbed all non- life threatening.
ABC 6/2 LasVegas Officer shot in back of head trying go to subdue rioter, he is on life support.
There are several others, but I can not find the info right now.
What happened to George Floyd is unacceptable and all 4 of those officers should be charged and convicted to the highest degree!!
However, there has been a war On police officers since the last administration!!! If anyone cares to look up statistics, there are actually more white men killed at the hands of police than black.
I worked in the law enforcement field for 27yrs and know hundreds of officers. I don’t know of any that ever shot an unarmed black man or any man for that matter!!

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

It is strange that one party who shall remain un-named, has many members who advocate “defunding the police”. I just hope they put this idea on their national platform.

sure you can! it's not 1 in the same. cops are individuals, it's why some are so good, & some are not

Could you please supply a link to something that says any party advocates "defunding the police" ?

Thank you....think maybe you are confusing some chants with actual policies.

NO PARTY ADVOCATES DEFUNDING POLICE. First, most funding is local and not national but will wait for this link that might identify this "party"

The last two posts are extremely P in their nature and are so vague and unrealistic.

Each year, every town, city and burg in our nation has statements and proposals, most of which never see a realistic light of day. Giving any credence to that and laying at the feet of a national party allegiance is futile at best

For example, in Madison Wisconsin there are proposals to cut all spending on COVID19 and perhaps schools, health care and pay for school employees.

Not worth any thing to post that as a "party" supported proposal.....that is reaching to play and incite discussion on a topic not allowed on TOTV

You also seem a little short on publishing your overwhelming facts as well.
I have seen allegations, suggestions, even some well thought out theories on and in the media, that left and right wing groups, even the Russians are involved in fermenting the discord, but have yet to see overwhelming facts to the truth of any such stories.

Every secret service has warned about Russian hackers in our upcoming elections.

I think our President has the right idea about sending in the military if this rioting continues. And how absurd is it that a police officer cannot shoot someone unless that person blatantly shows he is going to shoot the officer first. I just don't get this entire thing about how law enforcement has to change. It was wrong what happened to Floyd, but the cop is being charged with murder, and the others are being charged as well, so what else needs to be done--what do the looters and riots hope to gain by this?

Police in UK have been underfunded for years.
Police no longer respond to burglaries, just give a crime number for insurance claims, and offer counselling!
Their main focus is hate crimes against minority religeous groups and the gay community and affiliated groups.
In rural areas where I live, we have no police, never see them, and our nearest police station is only open for 4 hours a day, and is closed at week-ends!
Years ago, villages and towns had local bobbies, who knew everyone, and were on top of all the local petty stuff, and sorted out the resident tearaways with a cuff round the ear, and a kick up the backside. Personal experience there!!
All gone in the name of Centralisation, and saving money.
It don't work!!

It is so sad when our country makes a hero from the sad death of a felon, drug user thug, but cheers every cop that is shot.
