OK, WE’VE TALKED ABOUT THINGS THE PUBLIC WANTS THE COPS TO KNOW AND THINGS COPS WANT THE PUBLIC TO KNOW. MORE TO COME ON THAT LATER. LET’S TALK ABOUT HOW A COP CAN LESSEN THE CHANCE OF BEING INVOLVED IN A MAJOR INCIDENT. NOW WE ALL KNOW WHAT A MAJOR INCIDENT IS. A SHOOTING, BARRICADED …

THANKS FOR YOUR FEEDBACK. I APPRECIATE IT AND IT’S GREAT THAT WE CAN ALL LAUGH ABOUT SOME OF THE THINGS WE HAVE COME ACROSS DURING OUR TIME “PROTECTING AND SERVING.” LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT A FEW MORE THINGS COPS WOULD LIKE YOU TO KNOW. I DON’T NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED LAST WEEK, MONTH, …
A LOT OF THINGS THE PUBLIC WANTS COPS TO BE AWARE OF HAVE BEEN DISCUSSED, SLICED AND DICED RECENTLY…OK, IT’S ONLY FAIR THAT COPS WOULD LIKE THE PUBLIC TO KNOW A FEW THINGS. MAYBE YOU, OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW, HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN A SITUATION LIKE THESE…LET’S TAKE A LOOK: YOU ARE RIGHT, I SHOULD …
FOR THE PAST FIFTEEN YEARS POLICE OFFICERS IN MISSOURI HAVE BEEN REQUIRED TO RECORD THE RACE OF THE PEOPLE THEY STOP. OK, I GUESS THAT IS NECESSARY FOR IDENTIFICATION AND TRACKING PURPOSES. NOW A COUPLE OF LOONY REPRESENTATIVES WILL INTRODUCE A BILL WHERE POLICE OFFICERS WILL HAVE TO INQUIRE OR DETERMINE, TO THE BEST OF …
HERE’S ONE THAT WILL LEAVE YOU SCRATCHING YOUR HEAD. TWO MISSOURI STATE LEGISLATORS, ALONG WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE MISSOURI BRANCH OF THE ACLU HAVE PROPOSED A NEW LAW.

I HAVE A TENDENCY TO ONLY POINT OUT THE LUNACY AND OVERVIEW OF POLICE DEPARTMENTS AND, BY PROXY, THEIR OFFICERS. BY LUNACY AND OVERVIEW I DON’T MEAN TO DISPARAGE ANY OF THE FINE WORK DONE BY OUR NATIONS POLICE OFFICERS ON A DAILY BASIS. IT’S THE MEDIA AND THE POLITICIANS THAT HINDER AND SECOND GUESS …
AFTER FERGUSON, WE HAVE ALL SEEN OFFICERS NOT USING DEADLY FORCE…EVEN WHEN THE SITUATION JUSTIFIED OR MORE IMPORTANTLY, DEMANDED THE USE OF SUCH FORCE. SOME OFFICERS ARE MORE OFTEN NOT USING THEIR WEAPON(S) FOR FEAR OF BEING LABELED “FASCIST” OR “RACIEST.” SOME ARE HESITANT AND ARE MORE FEARFUL OF BECOMING THE NEXT YOUTUBE SENSATION, OR …
IN MOST, IF NOT ALL CITIES, THE PRACTICE OF PROACTIVE POLICING IS FADING FAST. STOP AND FRISK IS A TERM THAT I FEAR MAY BE LOST TO THE NEXT GENERATION OF POLICE OFFICERS.
