“In 2021, estimates range from 358 to 477 officers killed in the line of duty,” reports Just The News. “Both numbers are still significantly higher than previous years. Using preliminary data, compared to 2020, firearms-related fatalities are up 31% and traffic-related fatalities are up 30%.”
The increase comes following a wave of law enforcement resignations in the aftermath of the George Floyd riots in the summer of 2020. At the same time, Joe Biden embraced the defund the police movement, and even referred to police as “the enemy.”
Unprovoked attacks, in which an officer is killed despite not having official contact with the offender, “continued to outpace all other circumstances of felonious officer deaths,” according to an FBI report released last month. The Fraternal Order of Police says that “ambush-style attacks” were up 126% at the start of December over the previous year.
Crime rates have soared this year, and former New York Police Department detective Robert Boyce says it’s because criminals aren’t being held accountable.
“Nobody’s getting arrested anymore,” Boyce said. “People are getting picked up for gun possession, and they’re just let out over and over again.
