Let me save y'all the trouble.

Right wing trash publication: police are too stupid to figure out how to do their jobs without beating the crap out of black kids, so they're just not bothering to do their jobs at all. They're also very sad because black people are angry at them, so that's another reason they won't do their jobs, because of the sadness. This is all black peoples' fault, and "the left" who we can't quite identify but who are making demands on us that we don't understand, like that the police use "good judgment" whatever that is.

From the source article for that 17% number

"Also, undermining the theory that police have become generally disengaged, a preliminary FBI report released last week showed that the overall number of violent offenses increased just 1.7 percent nationally during the first half of the year while the number of property crimes declined 4.2 percent."

I don't know about anyone else but I am WAY too busy waging a war on Christmas to get bogged down in a war on cops too.

"War on cops?"

I guess you'd better call the National Law Enforcement Officer's Memorial Fund and tell them their data is wrong.

This article makes me think we need an "Editorial" or "Opinion" tag.

As a workaround, you can indicate that by posting from an account with a four digit username.

What I don't get is why. I mean, I understand the reasoning behind sock puppet accounts, but by making them all obviously related everyone assumes its the same person anyway. And if it isn't the same person, then why undermine your ability to show that you have widespread support for your ideas by making yourself look like a sock puppet? And if this is just trolling, why bother with the sock puppet thing at all instead of just posting everything under one name?

The only thing I can think of is that people on this site are using numbers as a generic way to post ideas that they want to express but for some reason don't want associated with their primary username, which is stupid because it's not like there are any meaningful consequences to having unpopular opinions around here. Besides, 0000's last two posts were well-received reports of terrorist attacks, no reason to hide your identity for that.

The numbers accounts tend to have karma too low to make posts. That's why he keeps creating new accounts.

Oh, duh. Of course there's a karma cutoff for posting. *facepalm*

Thing is he/she is getting the attention it wants. Ignore and proceed, seems the way to go.
