Six months ago police shot a boston man preparing to board a bus with a knife after he was heard on a wire tap saying he planned to kill Police Officers that day. The boys in blue, he called them. Police identified him as rahim and said he too was inspired by isis. For months isis on social media has been encouraging people worldwide to attack anyone in uniform.

Police officers killed in ambushes has been down slightly. An average of nine a year. But Police Chiefs nationwide say the repeated calls by isis to attack them have increased that danger.
