The Philadelphia Inquirer and Their Writers Really Hate It When the Rule of Law Goes Against Their Police-Hating Views
It is, of course, no surprise that most of the writers at The Philadelphia Inquirer hate the police. Columnist Helen Ubiñas, tweeted her great disappointment that former Philadelphia Police Officer Ryan Pownell should be reinstated, with back pay and restored seniority.
The Cameras Don’t Necessarily Help
The body worn cameras show the cops were justified in this shooting. Not that the facts matter to leftist mantra about killer cops.
The Attack on Qualified Immunity-Part III
Qualified Immunity for law enforcement officers applies currently if the officer acting commits an act not known to be a violation at the time it was committed.
Cops Don’t Work Where Their Family Eats And Sleeps
Police must often be rough with the people in their patrol areas, which is why the cop (and his family) cannot live there.
Lessons Learned From A Cop’s Death
We must learn from the experiences and actions of others to insure we don’t make critical, even life threatening mistakes.
People Who Bleed Blue

Police: Go In. Or Go Home.
If you want to wear a badge, decide if you are ready to go into harm’s way before you take the oath.
Police Felony Stops
These cops conducted a felony stop and are now told they will have to defend themselves in civil court.
Schadenfreude For A Liberal DA
The Soros funded New Orleans district attorney was not concerned about robbery. Now he is
Does a Law Enforcement Oath Mean Anything Anymore?
Too many law-enforcement officers, FBI agents included, have demonstrated that they are no longer agents of the Constitution. We need law enforcement to maintain order. But when their oath becomes irrelevant, “order” becomes tyranny.
A little Courtesy Goes a Long Way With The Cops
America is NOT systemically racist, although there are racist pockets still in our society. You don’t throw out an entire apple because it has a spot. You cut out the spot. The rest is still good.
No Knock Warrants
“No-Knock” are overly dangerous and often un-justifiably in their use. As a rule I do not favor “No-Knock” warrants, where you kick the door and try to take control of the scene. Calling them dangerous is being generous. Not just for the cops, but the people in the building you’re breaking into. A point to …
In a Free Society, We Have a Duty to Protect Ourselves
Law enforcement’s inability to protect us from the thug on the street is not a response-time problem. It is a natural and necessary outcome of our governing philosophy.
Terry Stops and Three Strikes Laws-(Pt 3, Broken Windows Policing)
This article is the third in a series about policing and public safety policy. Today, we’ll talk about “Broken Windows Policing.” Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani is widely and properly credited with cleaning up the mess his predecessor, David Dinkins left him. Giuliani in turn, credits Broken Windows Policing for his success. The …
Terry Stops and 3 Strikes Laws-Time to Revisit Both (Pt 1)
Some time back, I remember listening to the David Webb Show** and he had on a retired NYPD Police Captain. His guest was pretty brutal in his assessment of the then Mayor of Gotham. His view was pretty close to mine, although not quite as salty. His words did however, provide the start point for …
The Police Are Short-The Politicians Are Not Helping
Between the micromanagement, the 20/20 hindsight judgements and the “help,” from the politicians, people don’t want to be cops anymore. In an earlier post on AFNN I made the point that Body Worn Cameras (BWC) have, for the most part, been a positive for policing. More times than not, when an alleged infraction occurs, it …
The Latest Battle In The War On Cops
The War on Cops: The Biden administration, and Democrats nationwide, are proposing “solutions” to non-problems.
Evidence Collection; A Two-way Street.
Evidence collection is two-way street that should never be used in such a way to discourage true victims from coming forward.
Once again, De-escalation training is needed for civilians, not for cops.
De-escalation training is not for people in mental crisis, and unless a suspect is willing to de-escalate, it won’t work. Again, according to our political betters, we need to teach the cops to de-escalate. Not the civilians. While on patrol last week I found this interesting article on what our great leaders (excuse me, just …
