122 Officers Down

According to the FBI 122 Police Officers were killed in the line of duty last year. 67 of the deaths were accidental and 55 the results of hostile criminal action.

Of the 55 intentional killings, 10 were in the West, 10 in the Midwest, 5 in the Northeast and 28 in the South! Yes that’s right, 28 of the 55 police officers killed in the line of duty last year through hostile action were killed in the South! Two officers were killed in Puerto Rico.

So much for “Moral Values” and “Loving Christians.” The South, with only 36% of the population accounts for 42% of the violent crime, 43% of the murders and 51% of the murdered police officers in this country.

Not only are they fat (the South has, by far, the highest obesity rate) and dumb (the South is the only region of the country where a majority of people reject evolution for creationism) down there but violent too! Explain to me again, since 50 of theses deaths were from guns, WHY tougher gun laws aren’t a good idea?
