After massive cases against the cops in the US, people have been staying angry with the cops for a longer time. The shootings, one in Los Angeles and the other 2000 miles (3,200 kilometers) away in Louisville, Kentucky, shorter than two weeks later are stern signs of the dangers law enforcement officers face at a time when violence toward them in the wake of police killings of Black Americans, such as George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, has boiled over. “I think it’s more than a suggestion that people are seeking to do harm to cops,” Chicago Police Superintendent David Brown told reporters at a recent briefing.

The defendant who shot the assistants in Los Angeles has not been arrested, so it’s not known why he opened fire. And authorities have not stated why the defendant in Louisville, who was captured, targeted the officers. Those shootings came during demonstrations of a grand jury decision not to charge police for Taylor’s killing. It is not clear how many times officers across the country have been shot at or otherwise attacked this year; police departments say such statistics are not readily available.

But the few statistics available, such as those collected by the FBI, show so far this year 37 law enforcement officers in the United States have been “feloniously killed” in the line of duty compared to 30 such deaths at this point last year. There are some 8,000 police agencies around the country and tens of thousands of uniformed law enforcement officers. Experts and law enforcement officials agree that it is no coincidence that such violence comes at a time when Floyd’s killing and the resulting nationwide protests have thrust law enforcement officers into the spotlight.
