DC – WASHINGTON Police officers all throughout the nation will be paying careful attention to Tuesday's election results in the wake of an increase in both anti-police rhetoric and actual assaults on cops.
Constantly disturbing is the anti-police language that has been directed at everyone from FBI special agents to cops in some of the tiniest agencies in the nation. Fox News has been alerted by many law enforcement officials that they have heard derogatory comments made by politicians on both sides of the aisle.
National Association of Police Organizations president Mick McHale said Fox News, "We believe the rhetoric that's been spewed in order to blame the ills of society on police officers or law enforcement in general is unacceptable," The National Association of Police Organizations (NAPO) has advocated on behalf of many police unions and hundreds of thousands of personnel.
FOP data shows that this is an increase of 1% from the previous year and 11% from the year before that. In 2022, 55 police officers were killed by gunshots.
That's an increase of 1% from the previous year and 11% from the year before, as documented by the FOP. 55 police officers were killed that year due to shooting.
Law enforcement personnel will be monitoring Tuesday's election attentively, both to ensure the public's safety and to see who is elected to Congress.
While the phrase "defund the police" may have a variety of interpretations, Missouri Democrat Rep. Cori Bush has been a consistent force behind the effort.
Bush has maintained her support for the phrase despite the fact that others have wavered, and she even said in a recent interview that she would "double down" on the slogan if necessary.
Like Bush, Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has reaffirmed her support for the elimination of FBI funding.
The preceding is a summary of an article that originally appeared on Fox News.
