In 2020 so far, 27 police officers have been shot and killed. Also this year, 32 officers have been killed in traffic related incidents. In 2019, 13 unarmed black men were killed, this year is trending the same. 48 officers were shot and killed in the line of duty in 2019.
So my question is, where is the outrage from everyone when police officers are killed at 3 to 4 more times then unarmed black men? Yet we have thousands out on the street protesting.
In 2019. Of the 48 officers feloniously killed:
15 died as a result of investigative or law enforcement activities
6 were traffic stops
4 were investigative activities
2 were drug-related
2 were interacting/wanted persons
1 was investigating suspicious person or circumstance.

Offenders used firearms to kill 44 of the 48 victim officers. Four officers were killed with vehicles used as weapons. Of the 44 officers killed by firearms:
34 were slain with handguns
7 with rifles
1 with a shotgun
2 with firearms in which the types of firearms were unknown.

Suspects. Law enforcement agencies identified 49 alleged assailants in connection with the felonious line-of-duty deaths.
36 of the assailants had prior criminal arrests.
12 of the offenders were under judicial supervision at the times of the felonious incidents.

In 2019, no federal officers were killed, but a total of 2,136 federal law enforcement officers were assaulted. Of the 2,136 officers who were assaulted, 372 were injured.
With all the outrage over police shooting and killing black suspects(0 protests for white suspects), where is the outrage when officers put their lives on the line to protect and to serve? There is none because their deaths can't be used for a political agenda.
