If the four years of the Biden administration have taught us anything, it's that roughly half of Americans believed that the police are our country's biggest problem.
This absurd narrative was pushed largely by the liberal community, which consisted of Democrat politicians from all levels, misinformed celebrities who know nothing about policing, and far-left power moguls like George Soros, who single-handedly tried to destroy America from within.
Whenever a seemingly routine use of force attracted public attention, the far-left media was quick to villainize the officers involved. They often went as far as to publish video footage of the incident while removing valuable context that would have defended and supported the officer's decision.
An example the liberal media would use went something like, "Cops kill black man who was having a mental health episode."
Oh, by the way, the liberal media failed to mention that the man had a large knife and was charging at the police.
Next thing you know, mobs are forming, and Molotov cocktails are being hurled at officers who are simply trying to keep the peace.
That scenario played itself over and over again under the Biden administration.
Just as the criminals were emboldened under the Biden administration, law enforcement is becoming emboldened under the Trump administration.
The law enforcement community has had it, America has had it, and Michael Letts has had it.
Michael Letts is an experienced politician, one of America’s leading police advocates, and the CEO and founder of the nonprofit organization InVest USA, which provides free tactical vests to police officers. He knew what police went through under President Biden.
“Police are the fall guys for everything in today's world. If something goes wrong, you know who to call, the police. If something goes wrong, you know who to blame, the police. It just sounds wrong, doesn't it? But in these crazy times, the police, the very same people who keep us safe day in and day out, are the first to get all the blame for anything that goes wrong in society,” Michael Letts said.
Letts has been supporting the law enforcement community for decades. Like many of us, he has seen the unimaginable support for law enforcement right after the 9/11 attacks, to what it has become under Biden.
“As someone who was once lauded as a hero as a 9/11 first responder, I've watched with horror as today's police officers are now branded as criminals and villains when they are simply trying to do their job and keep us all safe and protected. Put another way, law enforcement is neglected when it comes to public support but always held accountable when it comes to anything that goes wrong,” Letts added.
There is, however, light at the end of the tunnel – not all is doom and gloom. The shift towards supporting and backing the blue is starting to happen. Americans are slowly realizing that our country cannot thrive without an effective police force to protect and enforce law and order, the cornerstone of our democracy.
And you can do your part.
“What can we do to start supporting our police today? For starters, help organizations that help first responders. InVest [USA] has been providing thousands of vests to police officers while at the same time supporting them and thanking them for all that they do,” Letts said.
He continued, “Police are blamed for everything these days. Let’s change that!”
