How did we turn cops into the bad guys?

<p>Six police officers were shot this weekend in Baton Rouge&comma; Louisiana&period; Three of them&nbsp&semi;died&period;&nbsp&semi;<em>It just won&rsquo&semi;t stop&period;<&sol;em><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>With racial tensions escalating and anti-police protests becoming more common&comma;

It&rsquo&semi;s now becoming legitimized&period;&rdquo&semi;&nbsp&semi;Judge Jeanine rightly blames President Obama for much of the violence&comma; criticizing him for siding with anti-police activists and even criminals in what some are calling a war on cops&period;&nbsp&semi;&ldquo&semi;The police officers &ndash&semi;

to restore trust in America&rsquo&semi;s police force&period; She condemned the Baton Rouge shooting and confirmed the DOJ is &ldquo&semi;determined to do everything we can to bridge divides&comma; to heal rifts&comma;

the <em>Washington Post<&sol;em> reports that of those fatally shot by police in 2015&comma; 50&percnt; were white and 26&percnt; were black&period; The only difference is that there is no &ldquo&semi;White Lives Matter&rdquo&semi; group protesting when a white criminal is shot and killed by police&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Some will be quick to argue that this statistic doesn&&num;8217&semi;t hold up but in a recent speech&comma; journalist and political commentator Heather MacDonald pointed out that black criminals &ldquo&semi;commit 75&percnt; of all shootings&comma; 70&percnt; of all robberies&comma; and 66&percnt; of all violent crime&rdquo&semi; in New York City even though they represent less than 30&percnt; of the city&rsquo&semi;s population&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>&ldquo&semi;The black violent crime rate would actually predict that more than 26&percnt;

Their activities are detrimental to the country&comma; and have contributed to a 17&percnt; spike in the number of murders in the nation&&num;8217&semi;s 50 biggest cities &ndash&semi; all because cops are hesitant to police dangerous neighborhoods in fear of being attacked or labeled racist&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Many are demanding that Black Lives Matter be labeled a &ldquo&semi;terrorist organization&comma;&rdquo&semi; others are asking the group to focus on real problems within the black community&comma; and&nbsp&semi;Hillary Clinton and the Dems seem to be using BLM as their shock troops in the upcoming election&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton has capitalized on the need for police reform &ndash&semi;
