2016 HAS BEEN A DEVASTATING YEAR FOR
MANY, INCLUDING SEVERAL POLICE OFFICERS AND THEIR FAMILIES AFTER
COPS WERE SHOT AND KILLED IN VARIOUS ATTACKS, SOME OF WHICH WERE AMBUSH
STYLE.
WHAT WE HEAR AND SEE IN THE MEDIA A LOT IS THAT THERE IS A WAR
ON POLICE OFFICIALS.
POLICE BEING TARGETS OF THESE KILLINGS IS WORSE
THAN BEFORE.
BUT WHAT DO THE NUMBERS INDICATE?
WHILE THESE DEATHS ARE
TRAGIC, IF YOU LOOK AT THE TRENDS AND NUMBERS, YOU SEE THAT 2016 IS
NOT ACTUALLY WORSE THAN PREVIOUS YEARS.
LET'S GET
TO THAT.
ALTOGETHER
SO FAR THE UNOFFICIAL NUMBER IS 64 POLICE OFFICERS WHO HAVE BEEN KILLED
IN THE LINE OF DUTY.
THAT IS A LOT OF COPS.
AS TRAGIC AS IT IS, YOU CAN
LOOK AT THE LONG-TERM TRENDS AND SEE THAT 2016 IS NOT THE WORST YEAR.
1973 WAS THE PEAK YEAR WHERE 134 OFFICERS WERE KILLED.
THE NUMBER WE
ARE CURRENTLY AT RIGHT NOW IS SIMILAR TO THE NUMBER BACK IN 2011.
2011 WAS THE LAST TIME WE HAD A NUMBER AS HIGH.
I AM BRINGING THIS
UP BECAUSE I THINK THERE IS A LOT OF MISINFORMATION AND FEAR MONGERING
OUT THERE.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE HAVE THE RIGHT INFORMATION
AND DATA.
IT IS STILL DISASTROUS, AND I THINK CERTAIN PROTECTIONS NEED
TO BE TAKEN FOR COPS AND REFORMS NEED TO BE MADE TO PREVENT
POLICE
BRUTALITY AS WELL.
>> ALSO, BACK IN THE 70S, THE U.S. POPULATION WAS A LOT LOWER
THAN IT
IS NOW.
>>CONTEXT IS SUPER IMPORTANT.
TERRORISM IN EUROPE NOW FEELS
HORRIBLE.
IN THE 1970S TERRORISM IN EUROPE WAS FAR HIGHER BUT IT WAS
LESS HYPED UP.
BUT IT SEEMED LIKE IT IS A FAMILY FIGHT.
PEOPLE WERE
DYING, PEOPLE WERE BLOWING UP, IT WAS A TERRIBLE TIME.
THAT DOESN'T
MAKE ANY OF THESE ATTACKS TODAY ANY BETTER.
IT'S JUST AS HORRIFIC.
WE ARE
JUST TRYING TO GIVE YOU CONTEXT.
WHEN SOMEONE DOES A MISINFORMATION
CAMPAIGN AND THEY TRY TO SCARE YOU
INTO GOING THE WRONG DIRECTION, JUST
HAVE THE CONTEXT AND MAKE RATIONAL DECISIONS.
THE QUESTION IS HOW DO
YOU ACT TO PREVENT THESE DEATHS?
>> I CAN'T DECIDE IF THE MEDIA HAS A SELECTIVE OR SHORT-TERM MEMORY WHEN
THEY ARE PERPETUATING THIS NARRATIVE.
THE HIGHEST POINT WAS IN
1973.
JOHN, YOU MADE A REALLY GOOD POINT ABOUT THE DISPARITY IN THE
POPULATION.
WHAT WAS GOING ON IN 1973?
WE HAD THE BLACK LIBERATION
ARMY, THE BLACK PANTHERS, THEY HAD PEOPLE ON THEIR SIDE SAYING
KILL THE
POLICE.
TO EQUATE THAT WITH THE BLACK LIVES MATTER MOVEMENT IS
ABSOLUTELY NOT OKAY, BUT WE SEE IT MORE AND MORE.
THEY ARE NOT THE SAME
AT ALL.
THEY ARE NOT ADVOCATING FOR THE SAME THINGS.
WE ARE SEEING
PEACEFUL MOVEMENTS, ALL THESE PROTESTS GOING ONLINE AND AFFECT
CHANGE IN A PEACEFUL WAY THROUGH TWITTER.
YOU CAN HAVE THE
SPOKESPEOPLE FOR THIS MOVEMENT SPEAKING OUT IN A WAY.
WHEN
CLIFFORD, THE 10-YEAR-OLD IN YORK CITY THAT WAS KILLED, WE DIDN'T
HAVE
THESE – I DON'T KNOW WHY WE ARE SEEING MORE IN THE MEDIA THAT IT IS
THE WORST IT HAS EVER BEEN.
WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT A WAR ON COPS
ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE.
IT IS IRRESPONSIBLE TO SAY THAT.
>> THE FOX VIEWERS WERE.
THAT IS WHY THEY USED THE TERMINOLOGY BACK
THEN.
A LOT OF THEIR VIEWERS WHO WERE 70 OR 80 NOW, WERE 30 OR 40 BACK THEN.
THEY TRY TO PRETEND THAT EVERYTHING IS THE SAME.
>>I THINK THAT IS TRUE WITH FOX, BUT IN REGARDS TO OTHER MEDIA THAT
ATTEMPT TO BE FAIR AND BALANCED AND CLAIM THEY HAVE NO BIAS.
WHAT THEY
REALLY DO IS JUST REGURGITATE PRESS RELEASES THAT THEY ARE GIVEN.
YOU
HAVE POLICE UNIONS AND POLICE ORGANIZATIONS GIVING THEM THESE PR
MATERIALS AND THEY LITERALLY REGURGITATE IT.
FOR SOME OF THEM IT
IS NOT EVEN ABOUT SELECTIVE MEMORY, IT IS JUST A LACK OF
FACT CHECKING
AND DOING THEIR JOB.
>> THERE IS ONE MORE POINT THAT GIVES YOU A SENSE OF THE EMPHASIS.
I
WANT YOU TO KNOW ALL THE FACTS.
IN DALLAS AND LOUISIANA COPS WERE SHOT
TRAGICALLY, AND THEY WERE PROTECTING BLACK LIVES MATTER PROTESTERS.
THEY
WERE SHOT BY TWO BLACK GUYS THAT WERE MAD AT COPS.
THAT IS REAL.
THEY
WERE NOT PART OF ANY BLACK GROUPS INCLUDING BLACK LIVES MATTER.
IN
FACT THEY WERE SHOOTING INTO A PROTEST THAT HAD BLACK LIVES MATTER
PROTESTERS.
SO HE HAD ACTUALLY BEEN KICKED OUT OF A BLACK LIVES MATTER
GROUP.
HE WAS BITTER ABOUT THAT.
ON THE OTHER HAND
THE OTHER GUY
MURDERED THESE TWO COPS FOR POLITICAL AMBITIONS.
I AM NOT SAYING
YOU NEED TO EMPHASIZE THE RIGHT-WINGER MORE, I AM JUST SAYING
ISN'T IT INTERESTING THAT ALMOST NOBODY EVER TALKS ABOUT HIM?
YOU
HEAR ONE OR TWO STORIES ABOUT THOSE GUYS, AND YOU NEVER HEAR ABOUT IT
AGAIN.
WE CARE ABOUT THE COPS BEING SHOT IN DALLAS AND MISSOURI.
BUT
WHEN YOU WATCH FOX NEWS AND REGURGITATED BY THE CNN'S OF THE
WORLD, ALL THEY LOOK AT IS THE DALLAS AND LOUISIANA.
AND THEY DON'T
COVER COPS BEING SHOT ELSEWHERE.
JUST THINK ABOUT WHY?
IF THEY CARED
ABOUT COPS THEY WOULD COVER THEM ALL EQUALLY.
THERE WAS SOME REAL RADICAL
GROUPS BACK IN 1973, SO THAT IS VERY DIFFERENT FROM TODAY.
THE MOST OF
THE CUPS KILLED WERE KILLED DURING CRIME, NOT RADICAL GROUPS.
CRIME WAS
MUCH HIGHER 1973 THAN IT WAS TODAY.
EVEN THOUGH WE HAD A LOWER
POPULATION, WE HAD A HIGHER CRIME RATE.
THAT IS WHY MORE COPS DIED
BACK THEN.
THANK GOD CRIME IS LOWER NOW AND HENCE LESS
COPS DIE.
