(Stephanie Keith\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 7:52 AM PT \u2013 Saturday, July 3, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>A top law enforcement advocacy group has claimed attacks on police officers are skyrocketing, citing a recent wave of anti-police rhetoric. On Thursday, the National Fraternal Order of Police claimed these attacks have surged 91 percent in the past year.<\/p>\n<p>The organization pointed out 150 officers have been shot, 28 have been killed by gunfire and 51 officers have been shot in 40 ambush-style attacks so far this year. The order attributes the \u201cdefund the police\u201d movement and rise in hateful rhetoric targeting law enforcement as reasons for the wave of violence.<\/p>\n<p>Several pro-police organizations have pointed to Democrat leadership as bearing some responsibility, arguing they aren\u2019t using their positions of power to quell the hateful rhetoric. Joe Biden has gone so far as to criticize the so-called militarization of police departments and has claimed officers end up becoming the enemy of the communities they serve.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\udea8Witnessing a SURGE in violence against the brave men and women of law enforcement.

They point out the increasing violence in Democrat run cities, where police officers are resigning in droves due to extreme danger on their lives and lack of respect from residents.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, several Democrat officials across the country are making moves to refund police departments to combat the rise in crime in their cities. However, Republicans believe respect in law enforcement needs to be replenished before departments see officers return to fighting crime.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/mayor-signs-order-to-demolish-remainder-of-building-in-fla-condo-collapse\/\">Mayor Signs Order To Demolish Remainder Of Building In Fla.
