“At least 109 officers have been shot in the 86 ambush-style attacks this year, 26 fatally, according to a preliminary report released on Monday by The National Fraternal Order of Police.
“Union President Patrick Yoes says the uptick is linked to the ‘demonization of police, which has made “communities and law enforcement jobs less safe.
“’Due to lingering animosity toward law enforcement officers, overheated political rhetoric, and a decline in respect for law and order – we are seeing an increase in violence that specifically targets officers,’ Mr. Yoes said in a statement on Monday.”
