The eye of the storm revolves around several issues including a dramatic rise in the number of Philadelphia police officers filing for retirement, a diminishing pool of young people who even want to be a big city cop, and the suspension of new officer training because of the pandemic.
One need look no further than the trial of Derek Chauvin for George Floyd's murder, and the Ma'Khia Bryant shooting by Columbus Police Officer Nicholas Reardon.
Perhaps Officer Reardon's heroic action can give other police officers and recruits some hope.
Police departments across the country are dealing with a shortage of officers.
The National Police Foundation reports 86% of the departments nationwide are experiencing a shortage.
"It's a hard time being a police officer," said Dean Esserman.
Esserman was the former police chief in several cities in the northeast, and now works with the National Police Foundation.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
