Gun violence directed at officers is down? What empirical data do you have proving this? It’s astronomically higher, by orders of magnitude, since President Obama pretended to unite the country, but only provided the initial fuel for a race war or pretend justified war against cops.

I think he was referring to gun violence in general is down, not that against police officers.

Don't know the statistics involving police officers, seems like there has been quite a bit of those over these last 5 years.

Do you know how bad crime was across the country in the 70s? I wasn't around during that time, but between the mid 60s - the early 90s crime was much worse than it is today. Much worse.

Today, you just hear about it more. As soon as something happens it's on social media and then major media outlets pick it up.. and it is in our face all the time.

Get the frick out of here. How did he initial fuel for a race war? Because a lot of racist people didn't like having a black president?
