By Steve Pomper We hear a lot about so-called “systemic” corruption from the left. Systemic racism, systemic homophobia, and… systemic systemicism (okay, I made up that last one, but you get the point). I have to admit, though, they may have a point about systemic corruption poisoning our criminal justice system. But I’m talking about Read more »
Wall of Shame
Fighting Rogue Prosecutors
By Chief Joel F. Shults, Ed.D Most District Attorneys and Prosecutors are dedicated, overworked, and decent public servants. I would not want to paint the profession with the same broad brush that anti-law enforcement forces do with police officers. Inept or corrupt DAs are accountable at the ballot box, but for some, the election cycle Read more »
City Leaders Inflicting a “Moral Injury” on its Officers
By Steve Pomper There are a lot of us cops and former cops, writing about how deplorably the police officers’ political leaders are mistreating them. We have no illusions about the damage happening to our profession in leftist-run jurisdictions. For example, I recently got a tweet from an officer I know from the Seattle Police Read more »
Prosecutor Won’t Charge Suspect in Attempted Carjacking of Police Car
By Steve Pomper St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner is a treasure—for the anti-cop radical left. This George Soros-funded prosecutor (one of too many in the U.S.) has established a soft-on-crime/hard-on-victims and cops criminal justice system. Like all of these Soros-styled solicitors, here are a few markers that define their law enforcement philosophy. They don’t Read more »
Politicians Reject Need for Traffic Enforcement That Cops Need to Do
By Steve Pomper Some politicians refuse to grasp the importance of traffic enforcement and that law enforcement officers should be the people to conduct traffic control and enforcement. Especially in a large crowd, urban traffic control situations like professional and college sporting events. Two recent situations highlight this legislative lack of responsibility for public safety. One Read more »
Cops Blamed in Riots with Indictments out of Austin
By Chief Joel F. Shults, Ed.D Austin, Texas Police Chief Joseph Chacon stepped up to the microphone to slam the public announcement of his officers’ indictments for their actions during riot conditions. “I am disappointed to hear the D.A.’s press conference statements regarding anticipated indictments related to the 2020 protests. As a department, we asked Read more »
Vax Mandates Continue to Push Police Out the Door
By Stephen Owsinski While the pandemic restrictions and tyrannical overlords instituted anything but a liberty-loving society and freedom of choice, vaccine mandates became yet another grenade rolled at the duty boots of our nation’s law enforcement professionals. LEOs in largely liberal-governed jurisdictions were confronted with strongarm tactics and given the choice of either taking the Read more »
San Francisco DA Prefers to Charge Cops Over Criminals—Again!
By Steve Pomper When will this abomination stop? When voters stop voting these criminal justice system saboteurs into office. Once again, Chesa Boudin, the San Francisco DA, has charged police officers with crimes for apparently doing their jobs back in 2019. Here’s the nutshell version: A witness calls 911 to report a man assaulting a woman, Read more »
Union Pacific to Reroute Freight Trains, Avoiding L.A. Due to DA Shirking Duty
By Steve Pomper There’s a new report that meshes nicely with my recent theme of holding George Soros-funded prosecutors accountable for attempting to wreck America’s criminal justice system. Seems these criminal justice system saboteurs are still finding new ways to destroy it, and the crime victims they’re denigrating are finding new ways to work around them. Read more »
Officers Charged in Shooting, While Suspects Who Started Shooting Have Charges Dropped
By Steve Pomper “This is a sad day for our officers, who face criminal charges for trying to do their jobs and keeping the community safe. The FOP continues to support these fine officers and will provide a vigorous defense against these allegations.” This was a portion of an impassioned statement made by Joseph Fitzgerald, president Read more »
