Crime rates tend to rise when the economy is poor and fall when it's better. I agree -- trying to pin LEO deaths on a particular president is a dumb idea and gives a false picture. After all, if you look at the chart I posted in Post #36, police fatalities were much higher in the 1980s. Who was president then?
LiG has a visceral hatred of Obama and is willing to pin just about anything on him to make him look bad. You might as well blame him for this too. lol
