Year after year we are exposed to an apparent rise in gun violence in our country. If you have not noticed this, you may after watching a few minutes of these television shows featuring the problem.

With all talk about police officers extending their authority and using excessive force, we though we'd share with you some video that graphically shows just how dangerous their job is. Albuquerque, New Mexico police have recently released video of Officer Lou Golson, a former Marine and veteran officer, being shot at during a routine traffic stop.
