Texas : 17 Dead police officers this year + 4 Goverment
That is appauling & national disgrace.

Louisiana: 8 dead
(Michigan is the next highest)

IMO these 3 states should pay ALL the officers more, so they are less likely to quit.
(The article does not mention any stats on how many, QUIT this year... in Texas or across the country)

#BuildTheWall
#EnforcePreExistingLaws

People are sick of the cop killings & the lies & protests.

They are NOT killed by law abiding American citizens, that own legal guns.

They are killed by criminals, with previous criminal histories ,who almost always, have illegal weapons , or stolen weapons & may or may not be legal citizens.
Who are a threat to society.



But don't tell MSM. It hurts their ears & jacks up the gun grab & racial unrest  agenda.

Respect for police among Americans surges to highs not seen since late '60s

Respect for police among Americans surges to highs not seen since late '60s

Americans’ respect for police has reached its highest since the late 1960s, a new poll has shown. Despite racial tensions and police brutality in black communities, respect for law enforcement is almost equally high among both whites and non-whites.

“The percentage who say they respect the police is significantly higher now than in any measurement taken since the 1990s and is just one point below the high of 77 percent recorded in 1967,” Gallup said, referring to the results of its most recent poll held earlier in October.

Respect for police officers appeared to grow as the number of on-duty officers shot and killed rose as well, the survey revealed.

Three in four Americans, or 76 percent, said they have “a great deal” of respect for police in their areas – a 12 percent jump from last year. Another 17 percent said they have “some” respect for their local police officers, and only seven percent confessed they had “hardly any” respect.

The majority of those with the highest levels of respect for officers came from suburban areas, smaller towns, or rural areas, where numbers reached 80 percent – compared to less than 70 percent for those who live in small or large cities.

The surge signals a significant recovery from 2015, when Americans' confidence in police fell to its lowest in years, to just over 50 percent.

Last year, Gallup said it was “likely” that fatal confrontations between police and black men across the US “contributed to the decline in confidence in police.”

Although 2016 has also been shaken with tension between police and civilians – including shootings of unarmed black men and attacks on officers in Texas, Louisiana, and elsewhere – that violence seemed to have little influence on people’s overall opinion of officers.

Both white and non-white respondents showed increased levels of respect for law enforcement, signaling a change in trend since 2000.

“Four in five whites (80%) say they have a great deal of respect for police in their area, up 11 points from last year. Meanwhile, two in three non-whites (67%) report having the same level of respect, an increase of 14 points from last year,” Gallup said.

The surge has been recorded among most political parties, ideologies, and age groups.

The number of young people aged 18 to 34 who said they respect police increased 19 percent since 2015. A 16 percent increase was also recorded among the 35 to 54 age group.

“Respect for police remains highest among Republicans (86%) and conservatives (85%), but solid majorities of Democrats (68%) and liberals (71%) report the same level of respect,” Gallup found.

According to the FBI, 41 officers were killed in 2015, which marked a 10 percent decline from the year before. However, the number increased in 2016, according to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund. The non-profit has tracked 47 officers fatally shot in the line of duty so far this year.

AP News Guide: New phase for Dakota Access pipeline protest

Posted: Oct. 26, 2016

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Activists who have been protesting the nearly 1,200-mile Dakota Access oil pipeline for months ratcheted up the pressure this week by moving onto private land owned by the pipeline developer. Here's a guide to the latest developments and key background about the protest:

___

THE ORIGINS

Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners got federal permits for the $3.8 billion pipeline in July, about two years after it was announced. The project is projected to move a half-million barrels of crude oil daily from western North Dakota through South Dakota and Iowa to an existing pipeline in Patoka, Illinois, where shippers can access Midwest and Gulf Coast markets.

Supporters say the pipeline will have safeguards against leaks, and is a safer way to move oil than truck and trains, especially after a handful of fiery — and sometimes deadly — derailments of trains carrying North Dakota crude.

But the Standing Rock Sioux, other tribes and environmental groups say that the pipeline could threaten water supplies for millions, since it will cross the Missouri River, as well as harm sacred sites and artifacts. Protesters, sometimes numbering in the thousands, have gathered since April at the confluence of the Cannonball and Missouri rivers in southern North Dakota.

___

IN THE COURTROOM

The Standing Rock Sioux, whose reservation straddles the North Dakota-South Dakota border, are suing federal regulators for approving the oil pipeline. They have challenged the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' decision to grant permits at more than 200 water crossings and argue that the pipeline would be placed less than a mile upstream of the reservation, potentially affecting drinking water for more than 8,000 tribal members and millions downstream.

The tribe hasn't fared well in court so far. A federal judge in September denied their request to block construction of the entire pipeline. Three federal agencies quickly stepped in and ordered a temporary halt to construction on corps land around and underneath Lake Oahe — one of six reservoirs on the Missouri River.

The corps is reviewing its permitting of the project and has given no timetable for a decision. Meanwhile, the tribe's appeal is still pending in federal court.

Energy Transfer Partners has said construction is nearly complete elsewhere.

___

THE PROTESTS

The tribe's fight grew into an international cause in recent months for many Native Americans and indigenous people from around the world, with some traveling thousands of miles to join the protest.

"Divergent" actress Shailene Woodley also protested and was arrested, while "Democracy Now!" host Amy Goodman had charges of rioting and trespassing charges dropped stemming from her coverage of a protest.

More than 260 people have been arrested since the larger demonstrations began in August.

___

LATEST DEVELOPMENTS

Nearly half of those arrests came over the weekend, which saw protesters twice blocking a state highway and law enforcement claiming that a drone was flown dangerously close to a police helicopter.

On Sunday, a group of protesters moved onto a private property that had recently been acquired by Energy Transfer Partners, putting them squarely in the pipeline's path for the first time.

The Morton County Sheriff's Department called it trespassing, but said it didn't have the resources to immediately remove the demonstrators, but that may change. Six states have answered the department's call for reinforcements, and Energy Transfer Partners on Tuesday called on the protesters to leave.

Actor Mark Ruffalo plans to deliver a pair of Navajo-made solar trailers Wednesday to help power the encampments established to protest the pipeline, and the Rev. Jesse Jackson plans to visit the protests on Wednesday as well.

HCSO Faces Backlash After Sending Deputies To Standing Rock

« WCCO | CBS Minnesota
http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2016/10/25/hcso-faces-backlash-after-sending-deputies-to-standing-rock/

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — A move by the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office to send deputies to the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation in North Dakota has prompted an online petition demanding the department withdraw its forces.

On Sunday, images posted to social media showed Hennepin County bringing resources into the “Lakota Territory near the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation.”

The pictures, which many found controversial, prompted a petition on Honor The Earth’s website calling for the withdrawal of Hennepin County forces from Standing Rock.

“Hennepin County Sheriff’s Department Special Operations units have been deployed to Standing rock to join in the violent repression of peaceful demonstrations to protect the water,” the petition said.

The Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office has since responded, saying its office and others in Minnesota are responding to a request made through the Emergency Management Assistance Compact.

Read the entire statement below.

So far, the online petition has garnered nearly 2,000 signatures.

Standing Rock Sioux want construction of the pipeline — worth $3.8 billion — halted. They say it could taint water supply as well as encroach on tribal burial sites. The protests supporting the tribe and its mission have been going on for months.

Berkeley Protesters Demand 'Spaces Of Color ' & Harass White Students Trying To Pass

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/10/24/berkeley-protesters-demand-spaces-color-harass-white-students-trying-to-pass.html/

Left-wing students at the University of California, Berkeley are protesting again. This time, however, these students are calling for “safe spaces” for transgendered people, as well as “spaces of color” at the University (which they already have).

The protesters are also harassing white students trying to study, barring their path across a key bridge while allowing students of color safe passage.

The protest, which began last Friday, blocked Berkeley’s Sather Gate, disrupted studying students in the Student Union, and blocked traffic at the intersection of Telegraph and Bancroft in front of campus.

In video of the protest, the so-called anti-racism protesters were seen denying passage across the bridge to white students — shouting “go around” — while happily allowing students of color to pass through.

After blocking the bridge, the protesting students moved towards the front of campus to occupy the front of the student store, because they felt it interfered with their “safe spaces”.
