More cops killed under Biden than previous years: 'We're going to continue to speak up'

More police officers have been killed in the line of duty under President Biden's leadership than in prior years since 1995, and officers are asking the president to speak on the issue.

"We believe it's a combination … of the George Floyd protests — riots, if you will; a general feeling of a preference for less law enforcement; and less prosecution and less policing," said Jason Johnson, president of the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund (LELDF) and a 20-year police veteran. 

"Law enforcement officers have essentially been marginalized and demoralized and cast aside and encouraged now to enforce the law. And so we've seen massive jumps in the homicide rate in cities across America."

He added that "it's natural" rising homicide rates in major U.S. cities have "also resulted in many more officers being assaulted because … a lot of leaders in these cities and leaders in Congress and leaders in the White House have really voiced a lack of respect for law enforcement officers."
