An ABC News review found that in recent years, periods of civil unrest coincided with an increase in police killings.
Edelmiro Garza, 45, and Ismael Chavez, 39, who died on July 11 when they responded to a disturbance call at a house and were met with gunfire. The 23-year-old suspect took his own life, police said.
“Jonny spoke very highly of his training officer. He loved his training officer, and so do I. So, I don’t really have anything more to say about it than that," he told ABC News."We don’t view this chaotic situation as his fault.” The King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office charged Henry Washington on Friday with aggravated first-degree murder in Shoop's killing. He was also charged with first-degree attempted murder and vehicular assault.In an interview this week with, Washington's mother, Carolyn Washington of Texas, said her son was visiting Seattle and was not of sound mind.
One federal officer was fatally shot while guarding a federal building during a May 29 Black Lives Matter protest in Oakland, California. But the suspect arrested in the shooting, active duty Air Force Sgt. Stephen Carrillo, was linked to an emerging movement called"boogaloo," a term used by far-right extremists to signify a coming civil war and/or fall of civilization," according to federal court documents.
While the officer who shot Castile was acquitted by a jury of manslaughter and reckless discharge of a firearm in 2017, the two officers involved in Sterlings death were not criminally charged. “My heart and my prayers are so focused on these families," Lorraine Yaslowitz, the widow of a Florida police officer slain in 2011, told ABC News. Her husband, St. Petersburg Officer Jeffrey Yaslowitz, 39, and Sgt. Tom Baitinger, were fatally shot when they went to a home to arrest a man wanted for aggravated battery. The suspect, Hydra Lacy Jr., 39, a convicted felon, opened fire on the officers without warning when they found him hiding in an attic, officials said.
Haberfeld also said some suspects recently accused of perpetrating violence against law enforcement officers also vary from those seen in the past. “If that follows the same pattern then the number will go up because now police have been painted as the bad guys and people feel vindicated attacking law enforcement," Mihalek said."This is where the officials’ rhetoric can help or hurt depending on what they’re saying.
