Most police officers do an amazing job at what they do: protecting and serving the American people. Despite this, there is a serious problem with some cops assuming that their badges grant them extra rights. Last year, police killed 1,100 Americans. The first five months of 2015 saw 476 deaths at the hands of American police, with over 1,100 predicted by the end of the year.
You may think that these numbers seem low, considering there are over 300 million Americans. But, when you consider the killing rate of our police officers in comparison with the law enforcement of other countries, it is very embarrassing.
Japanese police killed one person last year in a country with over 100 million citizens. Icelandic police only killed one person in its entire history. And, to top if off, American police have a murder rate worst than the homicide rates of the two most violent countries in the world.

It’s because crime has risen so bad in this country, I think the police are just sick of it. And I don’t blame them.
There’s always a bad apple in the barrel but you don’t need to throw the whole bucket out .
We have a lot of very good police officers thank God we do
That is BS.The fact is considering the constrants and the video availability the public and ordinary citizens have I can’t agree.The fact that the people knowing this and use everything humanly possible to provoke these officers into doing something stupid as a set-up. No our political faction uses this to advance and promote their causes for the worse senario possible for 5 o clock news
Its the people who make them that away
Doubt it
I will believe this when I see cops of other nations stop to buy boots for a vagrant homeless man or a car seat for a stressed Mom or lead a senior citizen across a busy street. We have cops hard pressed to protect themselves while not forgetting the real reason they are there. If we backed them instead of criminals they wouldn’t need all this gear.
Of course they are;just look at all the beheadings, drownings, crucifixions, starvations they commit ! You brain dead morons !
About 585 cops are killed each year and about 50,000 $#%&!@*aulted
Cir$#%&!@*stances force them to be as forceful as the situation calls for !!!!
Whatever. That’s stupid
