Five
months into 2021 and 37 police officers have been “feloniously killed”
in the line of duty, said FBI Director Christopher Wray during a House
hearing last week.
That’s a big jump when compared to the 46 officers
violently killed in all of 2020, according to NBC News.
“And that's not
counting all those officers who've died in the line of duty facing the
countless other inherent dangers of the job, like from a car accident in
pursuit after a subject or drowning during an attempted rescue,” said
Wray. “Or even the scores of officers who've died from COVID-19.
Because, of course, law enforcement kept coming to work every day
despite the pandemic.”
Line-of-duty deaths in general are up this year
too, from 134 to 148, according to the National Law Enforcement Officers
Memorial Fund. Traffic deaths in particular have risen 42%, according
to the data.

Since few if any of the people have gone to trial no one knows if this is a true statement or not.
The fact that Jellyfish have survived without a brain for 650 million years gives hope to many people.
