Gun related police deaths up 79% YOY

According to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund website, shooting deaths of police officers are up 79% in 2016 over the same period in 2015.

 

Gee, who'd a thunk it?  It must seem like some like it came out of nowhere for most of the grass grazers in our society but I have been warning the police in these pages for several quarters now that this was going to happen because once the herd finally gives up on the cops policing themselves and once the herd loses the notion that police are some kind of moral authority and once the herd figures out that the police are corrupt to the core and are running a two speed legal system then we are going to see some "Battles at Kruger".  The herd will only take so much bullshit from the LEOs before the horns come out.  Is it any wonder that the LEOs want to take away the horns of the herd?  Is it any wonder that the powers that be keep calling for disarmament of the population?  Of course they want to disarm us so that they can ramp up their abuse and lord the police state over us.

The ONLY way to keep these things in check is to have a control loop, a feedback loop if you will.  The US and Russia called it "MAD" for Mutually Assured Destruction.  Without some credible threat of retaliation there is no reason for a bully to stop pushing his victims around.  Is it really that difficult to understand?

I find it comforting that the feedback loop here in my home state of Texas is leading the pack in sending the message to police that, no, the people are not powerless to your police state bullshit and yes, Texans will stand up for themselves.  The police need to be partners with the people, not our self-imposed overlords.  But things are so bad now that I would never under any circumstances call the police for anything.  They are as likely to shoot me as to shake my hand.  I have lost all confidence in them and they have not cared that they have pissed on my trust.  I see them as having no moral authority whatsoever and their actions show that they have no regard, in fact negative regard for anyone's life but their own.  I feel that the police have betrayed the public trust and that only the police can fix this.  I hope they do and soon.  Not for my sake mind you, but for theirs.  The cops either back down out of people's faces with their police state bullshit or this trend is likely going to increase in a very negative fashion for everyone.
