In fact: This statistic apparently comes from an outdated, poorly worded USA Today headline. But according to the Officer Down Memorial Page, on-duty deaths of police officers are actually down 1 percent in 2016 compared to the same point in 2015. If this trend continues throughout the year, 2016 will be near a historic low for on-duty deaths. (This site tracks total deaths, not just killings, but there's no on-duty death tracker with 2016 data that solely tracks killings.)
Its possible Trump is referring to the fact that on-duty deaths specifically from gunfire are up by 84 percent over the past year which adds up to 31 on-duty deaths by gunfire so far this year.

(28,795 posts)somebody has to do something with that line, from the man who received the liar of the year award.
why would he have to preface his speech with such a caveat? think of the implication: is he accepting there the fact that he's such an inveterate, compulsive liar that he has to assure his audience that, this time, he's NOT GOING TO LIE? has anyone seen any analysis on this point? it's very telling when someone has to start out a 70+ minute harangue with the promise that there aren't going to be any lies.
the whole thing sounded like that ad one constantly sees for the copper cookware===>supposed to be the best thing ever, but when you read an actual review, you find that it's just overpriced, low grade crap. surprised?

(9,115 posts)is itself another part of a fascist propaganda attack on America.
They're bald faced lies. We know they're lies. They know they're lies. They know we know they're lies. We know they know they're lies. Then they demand that we spend time arguing with them about their thesis that those lies are 'true'.
Only mass media allowing them to have 'fair, equal time', to defend their 'viewpoint', 'there's two sides to every story', allows them to get away with this nazi b.s. Any honest media would just say 'dRumpf is lying, again. End of story.'
Gabi Hayes
(28,795 posts)outset, that they REJECT the false premise of the argument and refuse to discuss a topic until they get real. I've called into radio programs and done that, once with Anne Coulter, using citations from rude pundit, of all places, to demonstrate that her latest, heavily footnoted book, was filled with provably false citations, giving some examples.
the host let me talk, then reamed me for calling under false pretenses. I told him if I showed my true intentions, he'd have rejected the call. he admitted as much, but called me rude for doing so. too bad, milt Rosenberg, you senile crank. that was FUN!
Mc Mike
(9,115 posts)You were rude for pointing out her verifiable lying, huh? Poor Anne, poor Milt. Poor repugs.
It's great to be able to have fun while doing something good. Thanks for the story, Gabi.
Gabi Hayes
(28,795 posts)he only response was that I, as a typical liberal, had no sense of humor, and that her footnoted assertions weren't meant to be taken literally!
that they were merely hyperbole!
we had a little back and forth, more than I thought Milt would give me, then they hung up.
Mc Mike
(9,115 posts)When those people get someone on their show who knows better, they can't cope. It's just a matter of time before they cut off the reality based person and talk at the hung up phone.
Mc Mike
(9,115 posts)He was involved with Rick Santelli's 'spur of the moment' tea-party launch:
"Within hours of Santellis rant, a website called ChicagoTeaParty.com sprang to life. Essentially inactive until that day, it now featured a YouTube video of Santellis tea party rant and billed itself as the official home of the Chicago Tea Party. The domain was registered in August, 2008 by Zack Christenson, a dweeby Twitter Republican and producer for a popular Chicago rightwing radio host Milt Rosenberga familiar name to Obama campaign people. Last August, Rosenberg, who looks like Martin Shorts Irving Cohen character, caused an outcry when he interviewed Stanley Kurtz, the conservative writer who first exposed a personal link between Obama and former Weather Undergound leader Bill Ayers. As a result of Rosenbergs radio interview, the Ayers story was given a major push through the Republican media echo chamber, culminating in Sarah Palins accusation that Obama was palling around with terrorists. That Rosenbergs producer owns the chicagoteaparty.com site is already weirdbut whats even stranger is that he first bought the domain last August, right around the time of Rosenburgs launch of the Obama is a terrorist campaign. Its as if they held this Chicago tea party campaign in reserve, like a sleeper-site. Which is exactly what it was."

he is ''clinically INSANE''. even popular far right wing Chicago radio host Roe Conn used those exact words to describe him a month or two ago.

No, she isn't. Eleven hours being grilled by that pointy headed weasal, Trey Gowdy, proved that. How I despise that twit.

(2,966 posts)grilled like that as well. He's my very own district's very own Congressional twit( or however you want to spell it; with an a works, too ). More than that I'd like to see him lose his office. I'll probably be seeing what I can do to help his opponent, Chris Fedelai, get elected.

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2016/jul/06/17-things-donald-trump-said-and-then-denied-saying/
then you can ask him/her to CITE her lie, and prove that it was one. then ask for a comparison between any of these 17
my favorite among these, because of its relevance:
When asked about the pending trade deal with 12 Pacific Rim nations at a Republican primary debate in Milwaukee, Trump took to bashing China.
"The TPP is horrible deal," Trump said. "It's a deal that was designed for China to come in, as they always do, through the back door and totally take advantage of everyone." (For the record, Trump got a Pants on Fire for this claim.)
"You know, we might want to point out that Chinas not part of this deal," quipped former rival Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky. But a day later, Trump denied suggesting China was a signatory.

https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/741988371174699009?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw
this is what they DO. lie in the most obvious and cynical manner, not caring at all that the proof of the lie is available at anyone's fingertips. just plant the meme, and wait for it to be repeated. that's what's happened to Hillary over the last 25 years, and it's exactly why people don't "trust" her.
did ANYbody on TV cover this most egregious lie? I never saw a word mentioned about it

why on earth haven't they?
the keep allowing vince foster's 'murder' to be discussed every so often.
that's the perfect example, along with the Melania plage lie-fest, of how they just make stuff up out of thin air, and the MSM dutifully reports the life out of it, to the extent that, I'm sure MILLIONS of idiot foxwatchers still believe she had him murdered.

(3,729 posts)"I was against the war in Iraq because I sais it would de stabilize the Middle East and I was right"
No evidence he ever said this prior to the war starting.
He's wanted to make Hillary's Iraq war vote and issue, but now no longer can since he selected Pence as his running mate.
