http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/41235743/ns ... nd_courts/There aren’t many national headlines about the nonstop crimes committed by the police around the U.S. ( http://www.injusticeeverywhere.com/ )
But, for our purposes, the number of cops that wind up dead on an annual basis (as a result of shootings and other assaults) is a fairly simple collapse metric to track, and I have been doing that. So far, the data is unremarkable. As collapse accelerates, though, more armed and desperate people are going to wind up in deadly confrontations with police.
Whether or not 2011 will represent a sort of “break out” in the data remains to be seen.
I use the numbers published by Officer Down Memorial Page ( http://www.odmp.org/year.php ) in my research. I’d suggest keeping an eye on this. It’s a simple (and brutal) indicator of America’s move into collapse.
