    The Los Angeles Police Department banned the Thin Blue Line flag because it now allegedly symbolizes "undemocratic, racist, and bigoted views" held by extremist groups. The Thin Blue Line symbol is a pro-police emblem that is said to represent the thin line between order and lawlessness in society that is maintained by law enforcement who wear blue uniforms. LAPD Chief Michel Moore sent an email to department personnel on Friday announcing that the department was banning the Thin Blue Line symbol. The LAPD has barred the Thin Blue Line symbol from being displayed in public areas of police property.

    Two black radio hosts have revealed that they own the trademark to the phrase 'White Lives Matter,' preventing the artist formerly known as Kanye West or anyone else from profiting off the controversial phrase. Ramses Ja and Quinton Ward, Phoenix-based activists and hosts of the nationally syndicated radio show Civic Cipher, revealed their trademark rights in a recent interview with radio station KRRL-FM. 'We are the holder of the federal trademark for White Lives Matter,' said Ja. 'If you want to sell that shirt, you have to come knock on my door, or you have to face Morris, my lawyer.'......

    FBI Director Christpher Wray addressed the skyrocketing rate of murders against police officers Sunday, saying the surge is far outpacing general violent crime. Wray made the comments during a "60 Minutes" interview on Sunday, saying murders of police officers rose 59% in 2021. The total murder rate rose 29% last year, and the U.S. lost 73 police officers to such attacks in 2021. "Violence against law enforcement in this country is one of the biggest phenomena that I think doesn't get enough attention," Wray said, adding that officers are being murdered at a rate of nearly "one every five days."

    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....

    The Chicago Police Department is losing cops at an “almost alarming” rate, and the city is having a hard time finding replacements. That’s the word from John O’Malley, the deputy mayor for public safety. O’Malley, other CPD leaders, and local politicians spoke Wednesday evening on a Zoom meeting organized by East Lakeview Neighbors (ELVN). In another highlight, State Sen. Sara Feigenholtz (6th) told participants that she is working on a “pack of bills” to address concerns with the state’s year-old, 600-plus page justice reform legislation.

    University of Southern California Professor James Moore has come under fire for hanging a Blue Lives Matter flag on his office door, with some students saying he should remove it, calling the imagery “inappropriate” and counterproductive to creating an “inclusive” environment. Moore hung the flag at the start of the fall semester. A few weeks ago, he said an administrator called him and suggested that perhaps he take the flag down. The professor of engineering and policy replied no, it stays up. “It’s important,” Moore said in a telephone interview Tuesday with The College Fix. “Blue lives protect black lives,...

Consider editing before you publish.” Below is a bright-colored button that prompts...

Rittenhouse's transfer came immediately after a Lake County judge rejected his defense team's efforts to block his extradition from Illinois to Wisconsin. His lawyers voiced concerns for the 17-year-old's safety in an adult lockup, but the Kenosha County Sheriff’s...
