From the Washington Post:
"The year was also a particularly deadly one for police: 62 officers were fatally shot by civilians, up from 39 in 2015, according to the Officer Down Memorial Page. In 2014, 48 officers were shot and killed; in 2013, the toll was 31."
The tragedy is that the police will pull back from poor neighborhoods, where the innocent need aggressive policing for their protection and safety far more than the rest of us.
