By Steve Pomper The Seattle Times has not been particularly cop friendly for a long time. Consider, in 2020, as reported by Jason Rantz at 770 KTTH Radio, “Left-wing Seattle Times reporter Mike Carter forwarded and legitimized a vicious smear against police officers and their supporters, referring to the ‘Thin Blue Line’ flag as a ‘symbol of white Read more »
By Steve Pomper “Bond-villain” George Soros is not sorry, or even having second thoughts, about funding ultra-leftist prosecutors like Alvin Bragg (New York City), Kim Foxx (Chicago), Larry Krasner (Philadelphia), and George Gascon (Los Angeles) for all the devastation they’ve inflicted on American communities. Instead, according to the New York Post, Soros “vows he won’t stop Read more »
By Steve Pomper One issue people aren’t talking enough about is how the Biden administration’s atrocious open border policy is affecting law enforcement agencies and cops across the country. As everyone has seen with the illegal alien “Con-Air” flights to cities all over America, every town has become a border town. And in every one of Read more »
By Steve Pomper I was first made aware of this deplorable incident when I saw a tweet from the NPA’s own Sgt. Betsy Brantner Smith. She said, “Nevada Circuit Judge Erika Ballou needs to resign for her racist, anti-police, anti-justice rhetoric in the courtroom.” Many agree with her. Sgt. Smith is right and then some.

By Steve Pomper I’ve been writing that, in some high-profile (political) cases, it seems courts of law have replaced police disciplinary systems. Whether criminal or civil, officers acting well within their police authority and God-given right to self-defense are being dragged through the court system—for doing their jobs.

By Chief Joel F. Shults, Ed.D To speculate on the outcome of a criminal case, much less presume to know what facts the jury might see in a given case, is something an observer must approach with an open mind. Those with access to the television cameras seem to have no such hesitation. Grand Rapids, Read more »
By Steve Pomper Admittedly, there are still missing details about a death in police custody incident that occurred in Crestview, Florida, last year. However, as I’ve explained my litmus test in the past, in reviewing the incident, based on available information, I have not hit a “hold up” moment. It appears the officers acted in Read more »
By Steve Pomper There was a recent and very troubling incident in Seattle. A police officer responded to a report of a suspicious male, according to mynorthwest.com, “terrorizing” an elementary school campus. The story wasn’t only about the suspect’s behavior, but also highlighted the school staff’s reckless response. The officer reported the principal and some teachers at Read more »
By Steve Pomper While the anti-police forces infecting this nation haven’t been able totally to defund or abolish the police, some have been “successful” enough in depleting staffing and hobbling cops who remain on the job. For example, according to an AP story reprinted in The Seattle Times, “The Washington State Patrol [WSP] says drivers Read more »
By Steve Pomper Imagine you’re a cop, and you’ve spent over a decade serving under a city attorney who’d rather prosecute cops than criminals. Imagine every time you made an arrest, that “prosecutor” would decline it for some made-up reason. Imagine that city attorney, a walking, talking dereliction of duty, prosecuted (or not) certain crimes Read more »
