Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Maryland police officers at a funeral service for one of their own in 2015.
Ambush assaults against law enforcement officers, once on the decline, have spiked with five fatalities so far this year, four of them in incidents in the D.C. area. From domestic violence calls to planned attacks against police stations, 2016 has already been a dangerous year for law enforcement agents. We consider what’s behind the numbers and why police officers are increasingly finding themselves on the receiving end of ambush assaults in the D.C. area and around the country.
