The FBI released a report this week showing that 48,315
peace officers were assaulted in the United States in 2014. Of those, 28.3% resulted in injury to the
officer. 4% of the assaults involved
guns, 2% involved knives and about 80% involved bare-knuckles, knees and
feet. The FBI report also showed that 45
officers died in the line of duty via accidents. Another 51 officers were
killed in the line of duty “as a result of felonious acts.” Forty-six of the 51
officers killed were murdered with firearms in various situations.
COMMENTS:
Every time a cop pulls someone over or encounters them on
the street, he is putting his life in danger.
While he does it for a paycheck, he also does it because of his sense of
responsibility to protect the American public.
The decisions he makes are quite often split-second decisions which will
decide whether or not somebody gets shot.
There are those in this country including the White House who think all
cops are bad. But the plain simple fact
of the matter is that without cops, we wouldn’t have anybody to enforce the
laws of our society and then, we’d really be in a very bad way. Do a
good deed today: tell a copy he’s very much appreciated.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. Joe Biden says he 100% supports all of Obama’s policies. Doesn’t that mean Obama will essentially get
a third term if Biden wins the presidency?
(Marlo ~ Davenport, IA)
A. Absolutely. That’s
why I suspect you will see some kind of adverse action against Hillary by the
Obama administration before the primaries.
Q. Do you think Hillary’s testimony before the House Select
Committee on Benghazi will get any more answers? (Giles ~ Paso Robles, CA)
A. I don’t think it will be any more revealing than the last
time she testified when she was treated with kid gloves. I don’t think anybody in Congress is serious about taking on the Obamas or the
Clintons.
Q. Do you think Native American tribes should be allowed to
grow marijuana on their tribal lands?
(Lael ~ Gallup, NM)
A. Yes, but the law is the law. You can’t just ignore it or make side deals
not to prosecute it, like the Obama goons do; if you don’t like the law, change
it and do things the legal way. There
was a time when casinos were illegal on tribal lands, but through changing the
laws and setting up regulatory oversight, that has evolved.
TODAY’S QUOTE:
“Our government teaches the whole by its example. If the
government becomes the lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every
man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy.” ~ Louis D. Brandeis
