A terrible way to die... Georgia Sheriff's Deputy Dies After Inhaling Liquid Nitrogen February 6, 2017 - Richmond County Sheriffs Sgt. Greg Meagher died Sunday after inhaling liquid nitrogen while trying to save a worker inside a sperm bank.
I have issues with that statistic as well. Where does that number come from? Cops report those numbers. Some of these (nobody knows how many) are false charges, some are charges created to harass people, some are technically an assault because someone touched a cop but did not actually fight with the cop. Some are as simple as a someone involuntarily pulling their hand when the cop grabs them. And others are charges created by prosecutors in order to put pressure on the accused so they will plead guilty to lesser charges. For example, of the 50,212 officers "assaulted", only 14,281 received any injury at all. This DOJ report http://www.theiacp.org/portals/0/pdfs/IACP_ROI_Final_Report.pdf finds that 27.5 of injuries resulted in missed work days, that's about 3,900 of the 14,281 "injuries". Only 3% of injuries actually result in significant medical treatment. I would argue that the 51,000 is really about 4,000.
I would argue that you dislike cops by default and are whipping up conspiracy theories. You have no frigging clue of the paperwork that goes involved with cases like that. I volunteer for a police department and I've seen more Use of Force files than I could count. They contain photos of injuries, ambulance paperwork, witness statements. You are so full of (*)(*)(*)(*) it's incomprehensible.
Your personal background is irrelevant. Just as mine is. My policy in this anonymous forum is that a post must stand on its own merit without regard to my personal qualifications, and without the use of sources that are not available to all. Rather than resort to name calling in response to my fact based post, you should resort to factual or rational arguments. You will do much better making your case.

cops are safer than ever: https://fee.org/articles/murders-assaults-and-shootings-of-police-are-rarer-than-ever/ Attacks on police have been in a long and steep decline for decades, and policing in general has never been safer. Data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund (NLEOMF), and the Officer Down Memorial Page (ODMP) confirm a large and significant drop in fatal injuries, from all causes, as well as shooting deaths and felony murders of police officers. I wonder how many of these assaults occur when cops get drunk and beat the crap out of each other in tavern brawls (?).
And how many times have we had discussions on this forum about cops making fake charges of assault such as when a white cop shot a black kid in the back and said that the kid stole his phone (the video was presented which showed the cop planting the phone on the kid). Doesn't it amaze you how the right wingers who claim to be against intrusive government and its abuses so readily defend police government tyranny? Such hypocrisy!
Left wingers defend "police government tyranny" as well. Both Bush 43 and obama were huge supporters of domestic surveillance, rendition, killing American citizens with no appeal. obama went further inn using got agencies such as the IRS to target political opponents. And the worst abuse by far was the Wisconsin "John Doe" investigations in which a rogue Democrat state attorney and state judge literally used SWAT raids to harass average people who supported Gov. Walker. Its not a right-left issue at all. Its an issue of the people versus the State, and there are both R's and D's on the "State" side.

As I wrote before - how interesting that so many of these antigovernment right wingers suddenly love the government in the form of brutal police who employ Gestapo tactics. Then, the public has to pay millions in damages for the crimes these cops commit while the right wingers laugh and celebrate government abuses.
