Obama administration safest for policeThis comes as many commentators are inaccurately claiming there has been a rise in violence against police officers under the Obama administration. In reality, the opposite is true. During the first seven years of Obama’s presidency, an average of 54 officers were shot and killed. That’s less than the average of officers killed each year under George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush, Ronald Reagan, and Gerald Ford. In fact, the safest two years for police officers over the last century were during the Obama presidency.
The years 2013 and 2015, which also coincided with the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement.
