By Steve Pomper What if you hired a lactose intolerant milkman and then he refused to deliver milk? You’d fire him, right? Well, perhaps voters in blue jurisdictions should also fire their public prosecutors. In L.A., they’re trying to do just that by recalling DA George Gascon. Like the milkman who won’t deliver milk, voters are Read more »
By Chief Joel F. Shults, Ed.D If we haven’t had enough forehead slapping, eye-rolling, what the heck moments in the past year, here’s another: paying people not to shoot other people. Saying “Don’t shoot, here take my money” sounds more like a robbery than a social program, but some social engineers think it will save Read more »
By Steve Pomper If there is ever going to be genuine change to decrease Baltimore’s soaring crime, it can come only after an honest realization of the true problems there. But that’s not likely. Creating a myth about bad cops has become too necessary for political fundraising. But it’s not so great for people who need Read more »
By Steve Pomper I write a lot of stories involving Seattle. It’s not just because I served on its police department for over two decades, but also because they’ve been on the cusp of leftist government-sponsored racism indoctrination and practice. This includes putting police officers through “anti-racism” classes, which is just the usual rancid jar of Read more »

Cops are being disciplined, fired, or even threatened with prison—too often just for doing their jobs. Seattle cops are also under threat of termination if they don’t get vaccinated. But there are stories that may Read more »
By Steve Pomper When dealing with police officers, particularly when facing being detained, the National Police Association’s new PSA advises people to, “Comply Now, Complain Later”, rather than resist or flee. Examples of resisting and fleeing arrests ending badly abound. No matter how much one disagrees with the cops, one can always file a complaint later. There is Read more »
By Steve Pomper A recent social media post I received, inserted below, is instructive when attempting to navigate the truly stupid “police reform” laws, which rode in on the coattails of disastrous “defund the police” politics. After suffering through so many inane media comments from radical leftists, it always grounds me to get a dose of Read more »
By Steve Pomper Last year, in response to the radical’s call for defunding the Portland chapter of ACAB, the Portland Police Bureau (PPB) dismantled a specialty squad formed to prevent violent crime, particularly those committed with illegal firearms. So, violent crime, particularly firearms related, has soared in Portland since the defund the police “success.” Portland defunded its police Read more »
By Steve Pomper The NPA recently covered a story about Illinois’ new “Safe-T Act,” a supposed police “reform,” which is nothing but another pile of anti-police garbage. In her Epoch Times article, reporter Cara Ding expands on a previous article she’d written about the Illinois legislation but focusing on one sheriff and his reasons for leaving office and Read more »
