officers killed. now we're up to 14. >> right. brian: last year 35 killed, way too high but it's half of what 2016 was was the last year of president obama. the tone seems to have changed about the fear and respect that officers used to have. >> you know, that is something. i have been a police officer 21 years. i have tell you everything from testifying in court to just out on the street in your daily interactions with people. the respect for police officers has changed. and it's scary at times. there are over 57,000 officers assaulted in 2016. you know, the numbers show 25 to 30% of those officers were injured. that's nearly a record high. rachel: that's really too bad because that's got to affect recruitment as well. at an academy speech he said anyone who kills a police officer should get the death penalty. do you think that would help. >> i don't know if it would help but i agree with it
