The ambush-style killings of two police officers in the Des Moines area add to a deadly increase in a disturbing trend for law enforcement nationwide: the number of police officers gunned down has increased 167% this year, according to a law enforcement group.


On average, one law enforcement officer is killed in the line of duty in the U.S. every 61 hours and more than 20,000 police officers have lost their lives in the line of duty since the first known line-of-duty death in 1791, according to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund.

Many people feel that the country is headed in the wrong direction, and I think when police officers are openly slaughtered with so few people caring about it, we have proof that something is going seriously wrong.

It's horrible. My heart aches for all the officers out on the streets these days. Their jobs were dangerous already, but now....

Our country deserves it if we find it hard to keep and recruit decent officers in the future. Anarchy. Or...we'll have to pay more taxes so we can increase the pay for officers, to lure them to take a job where they might be assassinated just for existing.

People are worried about muslim terrorists, but as I see it, the bigger threat is these wackos with guns. Anyone who thinks guns protect us, look at these instances where trained and armed officers are killed. The surprise factor.
 
The real threat to America is increasing gang related gun violence. Yes... terrorists are bad and do horrible things but it pales in comparison to the number of crimes and deaths committed by our own citizens.

I waited on this after hearing about it hours ago, to see if any Lefty would bother to post it. Nope. They support Hillary and Hillary will not do **** about this stuff. Not even a peep from her about it!

and yet, the Left wants to restrict our guns and ammo to the enth degree.....virtually leaving people unarmed. Voting for Hillary is a vote to be another victim!

The surprise factor, or targeting someone, can happen anytime. Just because you are armed doesn't mean your safe....but you have a lot better chance then being...unarmed! Being defenseless is as dumb as it gets! Arm up America!

True. All the more reason to arm up and be vigilant. People need to get off the stupid I-phones, get their heads out of their ass... and pay attention!
 
It took hours before this was posted and 90 minutes after the OP....hardly any comment.
 
When we have large protest groups advocating for violance against police with chants of fry like baccon and politicians quick to capture the publics outrage speaking out against police before having all the facts. We have an entertainment culture that sings about **** Da Police, Cop Killa, that uses corrupt cops as evil villains, and sees any interaction with police as snitching or selling out to "the man"

It is no wonder we see these ambush style attacks on the rise.

Addressing this is just as important or even maybe more so than any gun controll measure that criminals will ignore.

How long before a backlash of violence is directed at groups perceived as not only tolerating such loathsome killings, but actively supporting and glorifying the killings and deifying the killers. BLM will someday suffer a backlash, probably violent for it's terrorist actions.

If country continues down this path, a race war is inevitable. And like in any war, a lot of innocents are going to die as collateral damage.

What do you think the President should do about it?

so someone breaks into your home seeking to rape you. do you want to have a gun or not? Has it ever occurred to you that people willing to commit premeditated murder of police officers are not going to be disarmed by any law?

Stop being the racist and divisive son of a bitch, that he has been for 8 years! He's no damn peace maker, he's a wedge between Blacks and Whites. So is his wife!
 
I think the perpetrator was one of those radical alt-right terrorists. Where's the condemnation from the alt-right when one of theirs guns down cops?

What is Trump's plan to deal with this?

Cracking down on crime, big time. Persuading the states to be less PC and more prosecutorial.

Just today, the State of Washington, Dept. of Corrections, has put out a directive that convicts will no longer be referred to as offenders. They will be called individuals, patients, students depending on where they are housed or located. That's just nuts!
That's the same stupid mindset as calling an illegal immigrant an undocumented immigrant. Same stupid PC crapola.

He was a nutjob, with a history of mental illness. He should never had access to a gun.

Define radical alt-right terrorists...I have no idea what that even means. Sounds like a dumb, silly ass, liberal catch phrase, that means nothing.

Yeah, OK, he's going to be the new national sheriff in town, rounding up perps all over the country through local police and sheriffs departments! Go TRUMP! KEEP US SAFE OH ORANGE ONE!!

That is awful. I mean, we still jail more people and a higher percentage of our population than any country on the planet, but this means we're all going to DIE, or at least get mugged or something, cause the prison system changed the word they use to refer to inmates. Really scary stuff...
