Modernize the Criminal Justice System: An Agenda for the New Congress | Manhattan Institute

Crime, particularly violent crime, is a pressing concern for the American people. The surge in homicide and associated violence in the past three years has made voters skittish and prompted aggressive partisan finger-pointing. This increase has not, however, prompted significant investment in our criminal justice system. Ironically, as this report argues, this increase in violent […]

Philly Police Want You to Help Them Arrest Homicide Suspects

“Nationally, only 4 percent of police funding goes toward solving homicides,” THIS this is a very complicated statement?! Most PDs across the nation investigate ZERO homicides. So their funding would be zero. Most PDs don’t have a homicide unit. Conversely PDs in large cities have as it’s homicide budget second only to patrol. I would think that Philadelphia has a homicide budget well above 4% and if not that is probably where some of the problem is with not solving homicides.

Exclusive Breonna Taylor Raid Details, w/ Sgt. John Mattingly – YouTube

This is a fascinating interview. If you haven’t heard Sgt. John Mattingly tell what happened that night you will not believe what you are about to hear. Mattlingly is easy to listen to and very believable. You will have to question the why the Louisville Government and Police Department hid the truth from the public. Mattingly is doing a great service to policing.

This is another example of how the progressive left has lied to attack policing. The left had used the Breonna Taylor incident to as a faux reason to demand change in policing.

Take the time to listen to the interview and buy John’s book.

Megyn Kelly is joined by Sgt. John Mattingly, author of “12 Seconds in the Dark,” to discuss the truth about what happened with the Breonna Taylor raid, the misinformation spread by the media and by celebrities about the shooting, the offensive GMA interview with Mattingly, his appreciation for AG Daniel Cameron, the reality of race in policing, the truth about Kenneth Walker, and more.

One in 20 US homicides are committed by police – and the numbers aren’t falling | US policing | The Guardian

It is VERY IMPORTANT to keep in mind that this article has a single premise – police are bad. There I save you a lot of reading.

Now if you have an open mind and look at the evidence keep the following in mind as you read the article.

  • Offenders are accountable for their behavior.
  • Police react to offender’s behavior.
  • Police make mistakes and police make bad decisions under life and death conditions.
  • Unarmed people can kill.
  • It is lawful for police to protect themselves and others.
  • Police do not have to be shot at before they can use deadly force.
  • Police have to use more force than the offender to overcome the offender’s force.
  • Police use of force many times is not easy or pretty.
  • Disproportionate by race to it’s population does not equal racism.
  • There are many factors that drive police-citizen contacts.

Police killings of any sort account for nearly 5% of all homicides, with at least 1,192 people killed by law enforcement in 2022
