On a barstooL? More cops have died this year from COVID than being shot.

5 Cops gilled by guns this year, by this unbias counter: 5 is too many but not 1 a day. So—-
5 typical shootings + 1 “Inadvertantly” shot by another cop!

A deputy sheriff shot an off-duty Vancouver police officer Donald Sahota at his house. A crazy story as more proof of Rick Shaner’s point.

It will be great to see how their vast knowledge of tactics, law, and human behavior will result in peace and tranquillity.

CHICAGO (AP) — Former Chicago police Officer Jason Van Dyke left prison on Thursday after serving less than half of his nearly seven-year sentence for killing Black teenager Laquan McDonald —

It shows just how dangerous it is to be a cop in Id… and most places. Of the 8 listed in the last 20 years only 1 (Moore) could be considered as being a danger only cops face. We all know if the driver that killed Maser would have been a civilian that person would be facing charges… but since it was a cop it was just considered an accident. Being a cop is not dangerous… to anyone but civilians

It used to be Garden City and BPD. Now it’s mostly BPD and with flare-ups at ISP (they used to be the gold standard). Don’t hear much one way or the other about the ACS. Maybe because the Sheriff is elected?

I wonder if ISP had to investigate local cops back then too.

The stats don’t lie. There has only been a 1(?) on-duty death in Boise area, meanwhile plenty of ‘questionable’ citizen deaths/impacts at the action of coppers. Im sure Guardians historical perspective and police beat could correct that history.
Conclusion: safer to be a cop in Boise than a citizen being approached by one. RIP Forrest Moore – sleeping in an alley and awoke holding a BBgun for personal protection.
