More police officers have been killed under President Joe Biden’s leadership than any year since 1995, according to a new report. Thanks to the left declaring war on police nationwide, things are more dangerous than ever.
“We believe it’s a combination … of the George Floyd protests — riots, if you will; a general feeling of a preference for less law enforcement; and less prosecution and less policing,” Jason Johnson, president of the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund (LELDF), told Fox News.

“Law enforcement officers have essentially been marginalized and demoralized and cast aside and encouraged not to enforce the law. And so we’ve seen massive jumps in the homicide rate in cities across America,” he added.
A total of 73 officers were killed in the line of duty in 2021. The previous year recorded 46.
In addition to those killed, 314 police officers were shot in 2021.
