This work week is barely over and at least 12 police officers across the country have been shot, according to the National Fraternal Order of Police (FOP), as the country's crime crisis continues to wreak havoc.
"The spewing of anti-police rhetoric by some political and media figures as well as the failed policies of rogue prosecutor and judges are placing our officers in greater danger. This culture of lawlessness must stop!" the FOP tweeted on Thursday.
Since Monday, at least 12 police officers have been shot.

“It’s thanks to bail reform, rogue prosecutors, rogue judges. They just continue to push these revolving-door policies, and the results have been just catastrophic.”
