Absolutely sickening to watch.
1 officer shot in TN last night. 2 officers in GA as well, bringing the total to 6 in the last week I believe.

why use the word war.
It is a shame 3 people were shot but a war of police
You apparently have no idea what war is
The best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is to make sure he doesn’t get a gun.
I am amazed that since the election we are seeing a proliferation of words like war and hate.
Hate being assigned to people that only disagree with a writer.
Been on these boards for a long time and been in many a message board argument / disagreement.
Never ascribed the word hate toward a fellow poster.

There is no more a war on police than there is a war on black people.
Or a war on capitalism
Or a war on decency
or even worse.
a war on Christmas.
C'mon people , use your words
The best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is to make sure he doesn’t get a gun.
Brief moment of levity: Your war on the use of the word "war" sickens me to no end. And then back into it: In truth, there is a war on police. There is a war on capitalism. There is a war on Christmas and Christianity. There is an ongoing war on decency. Wars are not only fought on traditional battlefields with army troops in earth toned uniforms with expensive weaponry.
And here is the shocker (for you), words can have multiple definitions of levels of meaning, not just the single literal #1 definition.

Now back on ****ing topic.. It is very tragic that the criminal filth in this country is seemingly more empowered than ever to attack our amazing officers in blue. I for one look forward to a top-down leadership that upholds law & order and we start making our communities safer whatever the answer to that may be.
PS it's not ****ing "gun control". See Chicago if you need proof.
MrShwag FTW! And lol at 57 for trying to turn this into a thread about the use of the word "war".
I also find the silence from the Obama administration on this to be completely unacceptable.

Trayvon could be my son.
Not to laugh about a young man dying, but him opening his trap about that and the professor incident and other things that happened makes you think everything was still okay.
Well to us blacks it is not. It has gotten worse for us and we are not happy with his results. Hillary paid the price for that. She can say "thanks Obama, you double crosser"
He took a side in both cases, seemingly reflexively. I still think the best thing he could have done in either case, for everyone, was to say "Let's allow the investigation to play out." That would have been an indication that he would not take sides as long as things were on the up and up. I really believe his SJW reactions contributed to racial tension.
People who shoot police officers = Terrible people
Officers who shoot unarmed citizens = Somewhere on the spectrum between justified and terrible people depending on the case.
Obama has never encouraged people to shoot police officers, just as Trump will never encourage officers to shoot unarmed citizens. We need to find a long term solution for resolving these tensions in our country, and claiming that police are somehow above other citizens might not be the solution.
it's 2016 and facts obviously don't matter but here are some facts on your so called war that doesn't exist
Is there a “war on police” in America today? Most Americans think so, and that’s understandable given all of the media coverage of that topic. A Google news search finds 32,000 results for the phrase “war on cops” and another 12,100 results for “war on police,” with sensational headlines like “America’s War on Cops Intensifies” and [NYPD Commissioner] “Bratton Warns of Tough Times Ahead Due to ‘War on Cops’.” A recent Rasmussen poll found that 58% of likely US voters answered “Yes” to the question “Is there a war on police in America today?” and only 27% disagreed. But data on police shootings in America that were reported last week by The Guardian (“2015 May Be One of the Safest Years for Law Enforcement in a Quarter Century“) tell a much different story of increasing police safety.
According to data available from the “Officer Down Memorial Page” on the annual number of non-accidental, firearm-related police fatalities, 2015 is on track to be the safest year for law enforcement in the US since 1887

News flash: We're not in 2015 anymore. 2016 is well above the 2015 total for cops killed.
6 officers in GA have been shot in the past 6 days.
Please, tell me more about how safe it is and that there isn't a war against them. Lol.

Not sure how you can take someone seriously when they try to make an argue there hasn't been a huge escalation of violence against police. Not only in crime but actual attitudes towards them.
A society that doesn't respect law and order is a society that is doomed to fail.
weird, i know what the word continues means
i guess you didn't when you used it in the thread title
it would mean that you are saying it has been going on for a rather long time in case you didn't know
thus why you wouldn't just look at one year to see if this is something that has been going on for a while (aka thus continues to happen)

And yet you just happen to single out 2015? Why not 2011? 2011 was one of the worst years of the decade for police shootings. So yes, continues....
But please keep telling me how safe it is for police officers.
