Fruits of the Left: 101 Police Officers Shot in Line of Duty So Far This Year, a 43% increase in One Year

101 police officers have been shot across the country so far this year. That’s a 43% increase over last year.

The left declared war on the police and law and order back in 2020. The Democrats called to defund police in city after city and they got their wish.

Now we are seeing the fruits of their efforts.

FOX News reported:

The National Fraternal Order of Police (FOP), the world’s largest organization of law enforcement officers, has counted 101 officers shot in the line of duty as of April 1, including 17 fatally, so far in 2022.

The latest figure marks a 43% increase compared to the number of officers shot at the same time period in 2021 and a 63% increase compared to 2020, FOP reports.

“We are in the midst of a real crisis. The violence directed at law enforcement officers is unlike anything I’ve seen in my 36 years of law enforcement,” National FOP President Patrick Yoes said in a Friday statement. “Last year was one of the most dangerous years for law enforcement, with more officers shot in the line of duty since the National Fraternal Order of Police began recording this data.”
