    It's scary how many police are being targeted these days, despite the vast majority of them being good officers who are putting their lives on the line for us. Last night, a deputy constable was shot in Houston, and is now in critical condition. http://abc13.com/news/constable-deputy-shot-four-times-in-critical-care/1290534/ This morning, an officer was shot in Austin. It looks as if the Austin officer has non-life threatening injuries. http://abc13.com/news/austin-police-officer-wounded-in-early-morning-shooting/1290726/

    This country has gone crazy and the police hater in chief is the main cause.

    I agree, very sad. I don't know if it's happening more these days but it appears to be.

    There are of course a few bad cops too but the majority are brave, honest men doing a very scary and difficult job.

    By all means, weed out the few bad apples than malign the vocation of being a police officer, just don't tar all officers of the law with the same brush. Most are honourable men and women. It is important to remember also, Caucasians are among those who kill/wound cops.

    The attitude of these people targeting police reminds me of how some felt back in the 1960s and 1970s, which is why I was so interested to read Days of Rage. I find it interesting that some of the same players are still kicking around, and of course, are friends with the non-commander-in-chief. It irritates me when people talk about how inept Obama is, because I find him to be quite competent in enacting his policy to fundamentally transform America.

    I think as a whole the police do a good job and for the few who get caught on camera doing bad thing should be brought to justice. This idea of black lives matter that is stupid all lives matter. The black that they say they were brought to the US on slave ships would not take a first class ticket to go back to their country. They are trying to blame anyone for anything.

    Blacks now say we whites should give all our money to them for civil war reparation.
    also dorks like Okra Winfrey claim all old white people should die to fix the racism problem. guess that hope and change thing didn't work out

    The black lives matter is calling everyone raises but in fact they are the raises but they are implying that other lives do not matter. I should be all lives matter but if they said that they would not have anything to complain about.

    Like most everything else going on today, the attacks on the police are part of a larger agenda -- in this case, a national police force.

    I think you might be right Ken and that could be the end of friendly police.
