I know some here do not like this guy but he is on top of most of the current news and he is LE, so if you do not like him then don't watch. :P

Just another politician distorting the facts. According to the FBI (below), about 1/4 officers killed by firearms are killed by a rifle of any type. Double the number for all police deaths, because half killed in the line of duty are killed in traffic accidents.

So in reality, 1 in 8 police who die in the line of duty are killed by rifles of all kinds, while 1 in 2 are killed by motor vehicles. I think we just need to revoke drivers licenses and let them walk the beat, or better yet, don’t allow them special privileges to use cell phones and laptops while driving!
