Simultaneously, police killings are on the rise, having gone from just a little over 300 in 1993 to 461 in 2013. The number of police being killed in the line of duty has increased as well. Even if "violence" as a whole is decreasing, the specific topic we're looking at, police violence, is on the rise.
I do agree that police have an extremely tough job, and I'm by no means trying to disparage them outside of the few that have abused their power. Thier job is one I would never want.
