War On Cops Debunkers Now Totally Debunked

In early July, 2016, I wrote ‘Is The War On Cops Debunked? Not So Fast.’ In that post I basically took the media and Reason.com down on their silly elementary ‘debunking’ of the . They used old data and applied it to 2015 and 2016. Which is utterly ridiculous and very lazy. You know, modern journalistic standards.

Now we are only two days away from the end of the year, and we have a lot more data. Sadly, I was right, they were wrong. Amazing what happens when you use actual statistics, and aren’t trying to promote your own confirmation bias.

Here’s the latest we have on fatalities:

Please note: These numbers reflect total officer fatalities comparing January 1 through December 28, 2016 vs January 1 through December 28, 2015

As you can see, things have been steadily getting worse since mid-2015. This chart only shows preliminary data on police fatalities, not assaults. Assaults have been increasing as well. A lot of the improvements made in police fatalities over the past several years have been a result of advances in life-saving technology, not a reduction in attempts to kill officers.

When the media peddles a false narrative that police are targeting segments of our population for murder (they aren’t), then basic human instinct takes root in the uninformed, angry, and criminal elements of society. It’s like a self-fulfilling prophecy.
