On her MSNBC show on Saturday, Tiffany Cross suggested it is "hypocritical" for the US to condemn the potential use of chemical weapons by Russia in Ukraine—given that the police used tear gas on Black Lives Matter protesters. Cross: "The United States is very much against chemical weapons. Yet, police use tear gas here, right here in America, which is considered a chemical weapon. And so, is this a bit hypocritical, perhaps? Because we've seen tear gas used, particularly during the Black Lives Matter protests?"Ge the rest of the story and view the video here.

In 1943, American psychologist Abraham Maslow wrote a paper titled “A Theory of Human Motivation,” in which he outlined what is now known as Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. According to Maslow, there are five basic levels of human need. First and foremost, Maslow identified “physiological needs,” which forms the first stage of Maslow’s hierarchy.

When NYPD officers Jason Rivera and Wilbert Mora were brutally gunned down in Harlem recently, the truth about the pro-criminal, anti-law enforcement policies of the left became clear: Woke policies kill cops. There are a lot of so-called progressive public officials in America who view violent, recidivistic criminals as poor victims while viewing loyal, dedicated police officers as oppressive bullies. These are the same public officials who did nothing to protect their citizens as protest marches in the aftermath of George Floyd's death morphed into violent riots in which mobs burned, looted and trashed more than 30 major American cities....

Hi everyone, December 14, 2021 Since most members make a goodbye email before they leave, I figured I should as well, despite the “special” circumstances around my departure. Anyways, my time here in the RCMP is up. For now. The low T wannabe tyrants in Ottawa have decided that I can no longer serve as a police officer because I refuse to tell them if I have submitted to their “vaccine” edict. I’ve served in the RCMP for 21 years and one of the first things I said to any person I ever arrested was “you don’t have to say...

A top CPD leader canceled days off for the city’s cops over the upcoming weekend, and sources indicate the reason is that positive COVID tests have decimated the department’s active force.

If the union’s estimate is accurate, that would mean about 20% of the city’s police force is out on medical leave. Cops who test positive for COVID are required to take ten days off. The COVID surge is...
