Good read here about a DC cop who started believing the MAGA conspiracy theories and leaked the name of the main witness to Seth Rich's murder to some far-right conspiracy blogger who then exposed her on his show so she would be doxxed.

The crazy part is where he was exposed and he resigned rather than face a 30 day suspension (because leaking the identity of a witness and exposing her to harassment is n't betraying the public trust instilled in you as a cop right?).

Intentional killings of law enforcement officers reach 20-year high, FBI says

Among felonious deaths of officers last year, 25 were killed in "unprovoked" attacks through December 27 of last year, according to the FBI. It's a marked increase from previous years, which usually see the number of officers killed in unprovoked attacks in the low single-digits. In 2020, just two officers were killed in this manner.

Anti police rhetoric directly responsible for this

Do you ever read the links you put up? Second question for you, do you think bad policing has anything to do with it? No Police Officer should be a target , their job is a thankless one and I support them 100% but my question to you is could this be a result of bad policing.

Police getting shot in ambush style, unprovoked attacks is bad policing?

“But”

This is kinda like what I’ve heard the last 24 hours where I found out if you go running at 430 in the morning, well you should expect to be abducted and killed.
