First: good for that Good Samaritan saving that police officer's life.


Second, here is a link showing the number of police officers killed per year:

Perhaps not too surprisingly, the highest tally is 1930, when 304 police officers were killed. Indeed, the period of Prohibition was a very bad time for the police.

We've never had a president or an administration that was as hostile to police as 0bama and his admin have been.

That 1930 figure was under Republican President Herbert Hoover.

I was in AZ for 10 days. On the way back we had to pull over at the border, search for the Kalistine approved case and lock weapons. What a joke.
