2007 DEADLIEST FOR POLICE! ! (Stolen from a blog, but the story was summarized by the Washington post Dec. 27, 2007)

BS Ranch Perspective

Well it looks like over all the Fifty States, 2007 has passed up 2001, as the Deadliest for Police Officers, Which like the Report from Texas is proof that Criminal Gangs are more wide spread and they are not afraid to shoot at Police Officers to make a bigger reputation for themselves! In the Gang World the more Craziest you are and the more people that you have killed is the measuring tool for just such an accomplishment. However, if you as a Gangster Kill a Police Officer that can get you promoted within the gang from a street thug to an Enforcer, which is a Lieutenant position. The LT. in a Gang can approve or disapprove hits that are wanted to be done by other Gang members, every hit has to be approved by the Hierarchy of the Gang, now the approval may not go any higher then the Enforcer!

Now that MS-13, has spread across the states Starting in Southern CA. and then New York NY. There was reports of Chicago IL. Florida, Maryland, Minnesota, Vermont, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, West Virginia, Ohio, just all the Eastern and western States, that have any cities with any sizeable Population in them. The same goes for the Western United States as well.

Not just MS-13 who get their running orders from the Southerners or the Mexican Mafia, then there is the Neustria Familiar who has their Solders on the streets that have the same orders to eliminate POLICE OFFICERS if they just happen to step in the way of the business that they are trying to conduct. With the Growth of Gangs the POLICE OFFICER has to Step lightly and be carful, & use all their training from the Academy and the follow up training from their Gang Unit to stay Alive on the Street!!

2007: Deadliest for Police

Record traffic fatalities and a surge in shooting deaths pushed the nation's death toll for police officers to its worst in nearly two decades.

The Associated Press reports via The Washington Post that with the exception of 2001, when 72 of 239 officers died during the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, 2007 was the worst since 1989.

The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund and Concerns of Police Survivors jointly released preliminary data in a report issued today.

As of Wednesday, 186 officers had died on the line of duty -- 81 in traffic incidents and 69 in shootings. Overall, fatalities are up from 145 in 2006, when traffic crashes accounted for 76 deaths and another 52 officers were killed in shootings.
