NightSide- Is There A War On Police?

BOSTON (CBS) - There have been a few high profile stories involving police officers who were killed in the line of duty over the last week. This has resulted in a lot of talk about whether or not there is currently a war on police. In fact, a new Rasmussen poll says that 58% of Americans believe there is in fact a war on police. Yet the number of police officers killed is down from last year, and down significantly from the 1980's and 1990's. Do you think the way the media has covered these incidents has skewed our perception? Or is there a growing anti-police culture in the U.S.?
