Warning: This article may be upsetting to anyone who blindly supports law enforcement, regardless of facts or commonsense. Ray Tensing, a University of Cincinnati police officer, was recently indicted for murder for the shooting death of yet another unarmed man. According to Tensing, he was in fear for his life. This is something we hear all too often when the police needlessly take another person's life. If police are always using the line, "I was in fear for my life", there must be a lot of police officers being killed at the hands of murdering citizens, right? Well, not exactly. Here is where the blind support of killer cops fail the 'facts and commonsense' test. According to the Officer Down Memorial Page, they list 68 officers who have been killed in the line of duty (as of 7/30/2015). However, only 20 officers were actually killed at the hands of someone else - 17 by gunfire and 3 by 'vehicular assaults'. The rest died from heart attacks, falling off ladders, being shot by fellow cops during training exercises, crashing their cruisers, etc. Though there are approximately 1 million law enforcement officers in the United States, only 20 have died this year after being killed by 'the bad guys'. On the flip side, 671 people have been killed by cops so far this year. In fact, the average police is 33.5 times more likely to kill someone, than to be killed (to date). The blind support of police, even when presented by hard facts, has to stop. We must start holding police accountable for their actions. If they are not held accountable, I wouldn't be surprised if police started shooting cashiers at McDonald's. With their logic, they would be justified. After all, 11 officers have already been "killed" this year by heart attacks.
