101 Police Officers have been shot in the line of duty this year–a 43% increase from last year and a 63% increase from 2020–with 17 of those officers being killed by gunfire
The left has been waging a war against police officers. Many Democrats have campaigned on promises to “defund the police” as liberal voters protest, riot, and chant profanities and death threats directed at cops. As a direct consequence, 101 police officers have been shot so far this year marking a 43% increase from this time last year and a 63% increase from this time in 2020, before Biden and the Democrats took over. Of these shot officers, 17 have been killed.
From Fox News:
The National Fraternal Order of Police (FOP), the world’s largest organization of law enforcement officers, has counted 101 officers shot in the line of duty as of April 1, including 17 fatally, so far in 2022.
The latest figure marks a 43% increase compared to the number of officers shot at the same time period in 2021 and a 63% increase compared to 2020, FOP reports.
“We are in the midst of a real crisis. The violence directed at law enforcement officers is unlike anything I’ve seen in my 36 years of law enforcement,” National FOP President Patrick Yoes said in a Friday statement. “Last year was one of the most dangerous years for law enforcement, with more officers shot in the line of duty since the National Fraternal Order of Police began recording this data.”
These attacks on police has taken place frequently in ambush style attacks, which alone result in 32 officers being shot this year.
🚨NEW REPORT: These historic numbers are horrific and are an absolute stain on our society. When the vast majority of media elites decide that this issue isn’t worth covering, it speaks volumes as to where our society is heading.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

This attack on law enforcement is a direct result of drives by prominent Democrat psychos like Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters, and AOC to defund and ridicule police, which has not only resulted in high rates of officers being shot and killed but in a rise in violent crime across the board.
And yet, liberal media pays little attention to this. It seems they would rather focus on protecting criminal Democrat politicians and supporting riots in the name of dead felons than even acknowledge that police officers in America are under a violent attack.
President Trump’s 2020 campaign promised that we wouldn’t be safe under Biden’s America–and he was right
