A total of 1,439 law enforcement officers died in the line of duty during the past 10 years, an average of one death every 61 hours or 144 per year. There were 123 law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty in 2015.

I have police in my family across two generations. They all want to make that human connection to make a difference.

There is also one other aspect of this that needs to be stated. None of the police officers that died were killed by an unarmed Black man.
