CNN's Brian Todd zeroed in on the "horrifying recent pattern" of criminals murdering police officers during a report on the 2 September 2015 edition of The Situation Room. Todd noted that "seven law enforcement officers [were] shot to death in a month – 24 officers shot and killed so far this year across America,"and reported that "the string of killings of officers in recent weeks...has really got the law enforcement community on edge." He also pointed out that "police advocates say a saturation of media coverage has contributed to the spike."
