The Hard Truth About Modern Policing

Decaying Culture

Our culture has decayed, our educational system has declined

and our values have become blurred: since police officers are

products of this culture, American policing has lost it’s way.

Soft Policing

American policing has become soft, ineffective and unable to

protect us. Many police officers lack a moral foundation by which

to judge the situations they encounter, while others have little

understanding of the U.S. Constitution and the limits it places upon them. Scores of police leaders are cowardly or “woke” and won’t push back against dangerous or unrealistic “police reforms” that put law abiding citizens at risk.
