By Steve Pomper Seattle’s political leaders expect you to take them seriously even though they’re not serious people. They don’t even pretend to hide their contempt for cops, as you’ll see in an official city report below chockful of unabashed radical leftist bias deployed to change police policy. More anti-police changes disguised as “police reform.” The Read more »
By Steve Pomper I recently wrote about how tired cops are of continually having to say I told you so about anti-cop legislation disguised as “police reform.” Add the many other things politicians are doing to chase cops out of the profession and to deter potential recruits, and the echoes in police precincts bellows. The I-told-you-so effect comes when Read more »
By Steve Pomper Economist Herbert Stein (Ben Stein’s father) once said, “If something cannot go on forever, it will stop.” That sounds good, but we have to ask: when? And what does “stop” mean?

Shults, Ed.D In civil lawsuits where one party alleges that another party caused them harm negligently or intentionally the standards by which this can be proven are well established. Among these are whether the alleged wrong-doer went against the law, the policy governing their actions, established industry standards and practices, or Read more »
By Stephen Owsinski There are boundless energies in our nation’s police canines, unfailingly illustrated in these hard-charging working dogs that advance police work. Sometimes they are injured in the line of duty…and just do what they do best: Keep fighting. Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) K9 Ringo is one such example…and he showed us what Read more »
By Steve Pomper I thought we were over this moronic nonsense, but I guess not. However, that this incident happened in San Francisco makes a strange sort of sense in a nonsensical way. What do I mean? A business still refusing to serve cops would be in San Fran, right? According to the San Francisco Standard, the Read more »
By Steve Pomper Some time ago, I wrote about the Communist Chinese Party (CCP) establishing police departments abroad, including in the United States. The communists apparently use these agencies to intimidate and gain leverage against Chinese dissidents in America, sometimes threatening their relatives back in China. Who knows what other nefarious activities they have planned? Now, Read more »
By Steve Pomper Seattle Police Dept. East Precinct during 2020 CHOP/CHAZ debacle Some people get writer’s block, struggling to put words on the page. Others, like recently retired Seattle police Lieutenant Jessica Taylor, seem to suffer from a writer’s logjam—that finally breaks.
