WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE US, AS POLICE DEATH TOLL RISES TO 72%

Posted by on

The shooting deaths of three officers in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, on Sunday pushed the number of law enforcement fatalities past a tragic benchmark.
As of Sunday, 31 law enforcement officers were shot to death in the United States, according to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, which keeps data on officers killed on the job.
    That's up 72% from this time last year, when gun-related deaths accounted for 18 of 62 law enforcement fatalities through July 17, 2015. And, it means gun-related deaths account for nearly half of the 60 law enforcement fatalities this year.
