A social justice warrior in sports, NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick blasted the decision of a jury to acquit a former police officer for shooting a concealed carry permit-carrying black male named Philando Castile. On Twitter, he tweeted an image comparing the badge of a police officer to a ‘runaway slave patrol’ badge. Stay classy, Kaepernick.

From ABC News: A new survey indicates that more than two-thirds of police officers believe that protests that typically follow high-profile police shootings are “motivated to a great extent by anti-police bias” — one of several findings that appear to highlight deep divisions between law enforcement and the citizens they protect. The survey conducted by the National […]

It’s quite an interesting, yet symbolic, gesture by both parties to keep taking down the picture and putting it back up again. Read what NBC News had to say about it: A high school student’s painting that depicts the tension between police and the black community in Ferguson, Missouri, keeps getting pulled down from a […]

From CBS News’ ’60 Minutes’ transcript from this past week on the rising violence and death toll in Chicago: Brian Warner is a former Chicago cop. He was shot in 2011. Now Warner counsels officers suffering from extreme stress. He explained what a dozen beat cops told us off-camera: they had stepped back. Brian Warner: You […]

Is this to blame for Chicago police’s decline in activity while violence rages almost out-of-control? The Chicago PD is under investigation by the Justice Department. And […]

The question remains, what does the liberal media have to hide about the spike in anti-police officer shootings by not referencing the anti-police rhetoric of Black Lives Matter? For example, the ambush attack suspect in Dallas, Texas supported Black Lives Matter rhetoric and used it to fuel his ambush attack that killed five police officers. But, […]

NBC News’ headline read, “Sharp Rise in Ambush Killings Leaves Police Officers, Families on Edge”, leaving out the hard statistics facing police officers and their families: They appear to be under attack by suspects. At least the article detailed the grim statistics, such as 56% spike in officers shot and killed, 21 officers killed in […]

None of the news reports blames the rise in anti-police rhetoric to the Black Lives Matter movement, which has had a history of anti-police rhetoric. Rest in peace, Officer Benjamin Marconi.

From the Daily Caller article on the private meeting between Black Lives Matter activists and Hillary Clinton: One attendee in the meeting told Hillary, “And so we can’t have a conversation about eradicating police issues without talking about eradicating implicit bias and eradicating anti-blackness within the DNA code of policing.” In her response, Hillary said, […]
