"A cop is killed every 58 hours..." according to Malkin's stats.
I so call bull shit.
As pointed out, it includes accidents and, who knows, heart attacks and other unfortunate deaths.
I think it's safe to ignore this strawman at attempting to shield police from the fact they've become highly militarized (thanks to politicians who have allowed it) and are in some cases literally getting away with murder.
Plus. I hate those sorts of statements 'every X hours.' More often, you can flip that the other way around. For example, how innocent people do cops kill? I bet you it's more than 'every 58 hours.' Or how about the number of families law enforcement in tag team with the courts and lawyers destroy for minor offenses thus eroding communities? Impossible to measure that.
Neo-con, law enforcement tripe on the part of Malkin.
