The FBI stories that in 2023 over 79,000 regulation enforcement officers have been attacked, probably the most since 2014. As reported by the Related Press, over the identical ten 12 months interval the variety of officers who have been shot elevated by 113%, from 200 in 2014 to 466 final 12 months. Deadly assaults on officers totaled 60 final 12 months in comparison with 61 in 2022. Seventy three officers died within the line of obligation in 2021. In the course of the nationwide George Floyd riots in 2020, teams together with Black Lives Matter, a number of civil rights leaders and progressive politicians spoke overtly about their perception that police have been racists, justifying the assaults on officers. As that development has continued, it’s no thriller why fewer younger women and men are selecting careers in regulation enforcement.
