Ambushes of police up 139%, officers blame defund politicians

Ambush shootings of police have jumped 139%, and the top police union blames the anti-law enforcement rhetoric liberal politicians have spewed.

The Fraternal Order of Police released new numbers of attacks on men and women in blue, reporting 109 officers have been shot in 86 ambushes. Worse, 281 officers have been shot this year so far and 52 killed by gunfire.

“The demonization of the police has made our communities and law enforcement jobs less safe,” Yoes said. “Due to lingering animosity toward law enforcement officers, overheated political rhetoric, and a decline in respect for law and order — we are seeing an increase in violence that specifically targets officers. Despite the negative attitudes towards law enforcement by so many, officers still show up every single day and make a difference in the communities they serve."​

Defund police backers sing a different tune after rookie cop is slain

After making political hay by attacking the NYPD and pushing to defund the department – some of the city’s most vocal progressive Democrats are praising cops in the wake of Friday night’s tragic police shooting.

Public Advocate Jumaane Williams

June 30, 2020:

“By just saying we’re hiring additional police officers I think is sending the wrong message.”

Friday night:
“These men answered a plea for help, both risked and one lost their life, all while trying to protect another New Yorker’s safety as countless officers across our city do each day.”

State Attorney General Letitia James

July 8, 2020:

“New Yorkers have lost faith in law enforcement.”

Friday night:

“All of New York state is in mourning tonight…We pray for the safety of our police and our communities.”

These politicians are now waking up to the realization that the majority of the population is outraged at the defund movement and the absurd increase in crime associated with it. Being politicians.... these clowns start back-peddling.

Like all things gun crime and gun deaths shooting incidents of all kinds will rise with the total number of guns circulating in the country.

Until republicans understand this, pull in the NRA and pass sensible gun responsibility laws these thing will continue to trend higher.

If you are against responsible gun laws this is a problem you can help solve by supporting simple federal firearms registration laws.
