> Those always existed and are not new or news. They are actually fewer than before.
That depends on whether or not you consider motive. Sure, people shooting cops during their crimes might be down, but people going hunting for cops is quite clearly up and it takes a bit of cognitive dissonance to equate the two.
> See the problem here is the argument it is increasing and it is a "war" when literally no part of that argument is based on fact.
So, what exactly do you call it when people hate you and go out of their way to shoot you based on who you are, as if all cops are exactly the same and bear collective guilt.
> I've had to resolve 100% of the crimes committed against me myself because the cops took 0 positive action to resolve the issues. This stems from bike thefts to breaking & entering & assault on my person.
This only makes me wonder how you're resolving issues like that and if there's a correlation with your expectations that's becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy. I have completely the opposite experience, if we're working on anecdotes, and approximately as many interactions, including the case where my own mother was murdered. The officers there went out of their way to check on us and make sure that no one was mistreating us.
