Eric Holder: Cops Are Being Killed By The Flow of Illegal Guns
Ironist General.
The number of officers killed in the line of duty jumped 13 percent in 2011 compared with the year before — and U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder condemned the increase as “a devastating and unacceptable trend” that he blamed on illegal firearms.
The number of law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty rose to 173 this year, from 153 in 2010, the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund announced Wednesday. This year’s figure is 23 percent higher than 122 killed in the line of duty in 2009.
Holder said “too many guns have fallen into the hands of those who are not legally permitted to possess them,” in explaining the increase.
I'd like to report a crime-- people using government resources to smuggle 2000 weapons into the hands of Mexican drug bandits.
So where do I sign up to be harassed by the Administration? Is there a special Harassment Request I need to sign, or do they take care of that for me?
