WAR On Cops: A chilling new report finds the number of police officers murdered in the line of duty has doubled so far this year compared with the first quarter of last year. Yet the president remains silent about the spike in cop killings.
While that shouldn’t come as much of a surprise given his disrespect for law enforcement, it is nonetheless wrong. Recall that Obama has loudly supported a black militant movement that has called for violence against cops.
These threats by Black Lives Matter have manifested in the shooting deaths of 16 officers through April 8 of this year vs. eight in the comparable period in 2015, which was already historically high, according to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, which maintains a database on police fatalities.

"Obama embraces them even as they’ve led protestors in marches demonizing cops as “pigs” and calling for them to “fry” — a phrase they borrowed from the murderer who ambushed two NYPD cops in the name of Michael Brown.
"Obama shamelessly echoes Blacks Lives Matter in jawboning cops as racist. His rhetoric has contributed to the atmosphere of hate.
"Before any more cops are ambushed, we urge the president to for once defend them and demand a halt to the violence targeting them. Blue lives matter, too."
