I start and stop within their comfort zones and the law. My invitation is always to change tactics, not beliefs, to address challenges.
We're at a societal crossroads, between chaos, apolitical and otherwise, produced by an enabling ideology and an empowering ideology personified by the 47th president mobilizing federal law enforcement, the National Guard, and active duty forces to push back against this chaos on its hottest flash point- deportation.
For we who navigate in jurisdictions misled by elites enabling violent traitors, creating safety takes on new urgency.
We navigate municipalities full of under charged, under arrested, under prosecuted career criminals with added difficulty of depopulated departments who often 'de-police,' meaning doing as little as possible to avoid investigations and publicity.
As such, advocates and concerned citizens must motivate demotivated police officers when we 'pass the baton' of actions taken, evidence gathered or witnesses coming forward in besieged cities.
I've been doing this since the 1990s, in places both conservative 'red' and leftist 'blue.'
My theory leads folks of all 'isms' to one inescapable conclusion: safety is created, it doesn't happen on its own.
