“Public Safety Scholars”
A scholar is someone who gains expertise through study, research, and academic inquiry.
Sure there is value in that, but it is not the same as lived experience.
Too many self described “public safety/law enforcement experts” have never made an arrest, worked a midnight tour, responded to a shooting, calmed a person in crisis, or had to make a split second decision with incomplete information which has life and death consequences in real time.
They live in echo chambers, they protect their untested and unproven theories from the real world.
When they are challenged with basic questions or invited into long form debates, they retreat to their academic credentials rather than defend the application of their “evidence based” theories.
Knowledge and research matter but expertise requires more than reading about a profession, it requires understanding the realities of the profession.
The overwhelming majority of today’s public safety commentators are not practitioners. They are critical observers who lack the basic understanding of the topic at hand.
They are the equivalent of soft bodied ESPN analysts who never even attempted to play a sport, as a child, a teenager or an adult.
They cosplay as experts in a sport they never even attempted to play in elementary school, middle school, high school, college or professionally.
There is also the other kind of “public safety expert.”
The one who wore the uniform but never embraced the profession.
The one who never made a proactive arrest, never closed a pattern, never testified in court, never chased or wrestled a suspect, never developed a confidential informant, never swore out a warrant, and certainly never executed one.
The kind of cop that couldn’t even be trusted enough to be a hospital car or sit on a hospitalized prisoner.
You know them, the cop who somehow always managed to avoid the experiences that define being a uniformed member of the NYPD. I swear some civilians PAA’s know more about what it means to be a cop then them and even the PAA’s know it.
While their colleagues raced toward 911 calls, they found reasons to be elsewhere.
While others worked the 16-hour details that are a rite of passage in the NYPD, New Years, J’ouvert, West Indian, Pride, Mermaid, etc……they instead focused on networking, collecting credentials, and studying a profession they avoided at all costs.
Years later, with no actual operational law enforcement experience they reemerge as “experts” or Doctors in Criminal Justice.
They write books, papers, sit on panels, help draft and advocate for legislation, appear on television, and pass judgment on decisions made by the very people who did the work they spent a career avoiding.
They ineptly critique situations they never faced, analyze pressures they never experienced, and second guess choices they never had the courage to make themselves.
Just as there is a difference between reading the playbook and taking the field, there is a difference between those who studied the profession and those who lived it.
To sum this up so I can go get ready for Church and thank GOD for all my blessings:
There is a HUGE difference between watching the game and playing it.
Today as it concerns “public safety” we live in a society that places its scholars ahead of its warriors and because of this, we have our thinking and commentary done by cowards.
The Emasculation of the NYPD
NYPD Captain Kai Bowen, who by all accounts is respected by his supervisors, peers, subordinates, and the community, was arrested by the NYPD for allegedly choking a 67 year old man who is accused of groping a teenage girl.
For more than a decade the NYPD has been run by left leaning academics from the mid west who never wore the uniform and never policed the streets of New York City.
They like to call themselves “leaders without badges.”
I call them classroom cops.
For years the NYPD’s politically appointed, upper management pushed diversity, equity and inclusion ideology while repeating the slogan:
“We don’t want warriors in policing, we need guardians.”
What that phrase really means is they want emasculated security guards who react after the crime, not proactive police officers who prevent it.
They want robots, not human beings with judgment.
Through policy, training, and discipline they have created a generation of officers, many now supervisors, who are afraid to think for themselves and can’t distinguish right from wrong in real time.
I saw this firsthand over 10 years ago when I was a Sergeant in Brooklyn.
I responded to a scene where I observed:
A male white Con Edison worker in handcuffs, an attractive asian woman who appeared to be distraught, holding a small white dog and an ambulance treating a belligerent intoxicated mexican male with what appeared to be minor injuries.
The moment I stepped out of my vehicle, the woman ran up to me frantically yelling:
“He saved me.”
She pointed to the Con Edison worker who was handcuffed.
She explained that the intoxicated man had been following her while she walked her dog. At one point he grabbed her and attempted to drag her down a staircase beneath a large apartment building.
She began screaming and fighting back.
The Con Edison worker, who was elevated in the bucket of his work truck, heard the screams and immediately lowered the bucket and ran to help.
He physically subdued the man while the woman called the police.
When the officers arrived, they handcuffed the worker and called an ambulance for the perpetrator because he had a bloody lip and some scratches.
I walked over and asked the officers what happened. They repeated the woman’s account almost word for word.
So I gave them a simple instruction:
Remove the handcuffs from the worker and place them on the perpetrator.
The worker had just prevented what very likely would have been a rape.
Instead of receiving a medal, he was handcuffed.
I shook his hand and apologized to him. I said to him:
“We need more men like you in this world.”
What I remember most was how the officers seemed so confused by the situation.
They were so focused on the minor injuries to the perpetrator that they struggled to understand the obvious reality of what had happened.
At the precinct later I explained it clearly:
The worker committed no crime.
He intervened to stop a violent assault on a woman.
But that moment always stuck with me.
I’ve often wondered what would have happened if I wasn’t the supervisor on that scene.
That man deserved recognition.
Instead he got handcuffed.
Now I wasn’t present for the incident involving Captain Bowen, but based on what has been reported and what I know about policing, I can say this:
Arresting the Captain probably isn’t the decision I would have made.
But then again, the NYPD made sure to force out hundreds of “uneducated and unvaccinated” men like myself, cops who grew up in New York City, understood its streets, and were unafraid to make decisions.
Some will ask “who wants that kind of “toxic masculinity” in the NYPD ? The answer is simple, Crime Victims.
PRIORITIES: NYPD Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch is allegedly demanding to know everyone in the NYPD who took off yesterday during NYC’s snow storm. Rich Manhattan Nepo Babies who never actually shoveled snow, commuted to work or had to earn a job, think everything is easy.
My take on Donlon v. City of New York:
Judge Denise Cote dismissed this case before discovery. No depositions. No document production. No sworn testimony. Just a Rule 12(b)(6) motion.
That matters.
Donlon alleged that senior NYPD officials used his signature stamp without authorization, manipulated promotions, undermined his authority, retaliated against him, and that his wife was arrested in what he claims was retaliation.
The Court concluded that the complaint didn’t sufficiently plead a RICO enterprise. It also ruled that when Donlon reported misconduct internally, he was speaking “as an employee,” not as a citizen — meaning no First Amendment protection.
I strongly disagree with that analysis.
At some point, applying Garcetti this rigidly stops protecting constitutional structure and starts shielding institutional power. If the Interim Police Commissioner cannot raise concerns about alleged corruption inside his own department without losing constitutional protection because it’s deemed “part of his job,” then the doctrine effectively protects retaliation at the highest levels.
That is a policy choice dressed up as a legal conclusion.
And dismissing allegations of this magnitude before discovery feels less like judicial caution and more like gatekeeping. The bar for plausibility shouldn’t be so high that serious internal misconduct claims never reach evidence.
Judges are supposed to apply the law, not preemptively decide what facts are worth uncovering.
The Second Circuit now reviews this from scratch. It should take a hard look at whether this dismissal reflects faithful constitutional analysis — or an overly narrow reading that insulates powerful institutions from scrutiny.
This case deserved discovery.
We’ll see if the appellate court agrees.

The Technocracy Inc. map from ~1940 is real and includes parts of Venezuela, Colombia, Cuba (Caribbean), Greenland, Panama, Canada in a proposed "North American Technate." Elon did criticize Trump in 2025 over Epstein files amid a feud, but they reconciled later that year and have since interacted positively. The idea of a unified "plan" or NWO objective is speculative, not supported by evidence.
An Israeli cybersecurity billionaire demanding to take away Americans guaranteed First Amendment Free Speech and President Trump threatening war and sending in troops to Iran is everything we voted against in ‘24.
Trump voters spent the week threatening a tax revolt because they are so furious about the never ending waste, fraud, and abuse of their hard earned money going to foreigners and foreign wars.
The focus should be on tax dollars here at home and defending our God given freedoms and rights.

Pictures of NYPD uniform shirts from the Jeffrey Epstein Files.👇👇👇 I wouldn't think much of Epstein's fetish for dress-up, if it weren't for the fact that many of his contacts were on the board of the @nycpolicefdtn, and thus had access to the NYPD itself. Reminder those contacts include the parents and family of current NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch herself. It's also worth noting the entire apparatus of the Police Foundation itself is partly the creation of her Grandfather Laurence Tisch via the @ABetterNY in the 1970's.
Hey Jessica, did you know Jeffrey Epstein? Is it out of line for me to wonder if you were aware of his pedo sex trafficking while you were an NYPD employee and said and did nothing about it? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
In this clip I explain why it is significant that the upper echelon of the NYPD was running our educational records in 2024, 2 years post retirement from the NYPD.
Hey @nypdpc, did you know Jeffrey Epstein? Did your family have a relationship with a known international sex trafficker and corporate/ political sex blackmailer? Was this relationship willing or coerced? The fact that Epstein has James Tisch listed as "Jimmy" seems to be an Indication of a more personal relationship. Also considering the outsized influence the Tisch family has over the NYPD via the @nycpolicefdtn, is it out of line for us to wonder if that relationship influenced NYPD Policy (like Technology) indirectly or directly via your present appointment and or past roles.🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 🤔
🔥🔥🔥🔥 Absolutely spot on. Shades of when Wealthy Zionist elitists sold out Jews to the Nazi's in order to achieve their ends. One of which was motivating the Jewish diaspora to migrate to Israel. People who the social media algorithms keep trying to ram down our throat like Fuentes are absolutely influence agents.
The NYPD has their officers offering shelter to the homeless because of the freezing temperatures but they have their mobile field force cops standing on a corner in the same weather freezing for hours without a car to take breaks in. Ask me again why cops are leaving. @NYPDPC
🚨🚨🚨A reliable source has confirmed that the recent ICE raid leaks are coming directly from the NYPD Commissioner’s office. According to the source, these leaks are being intentionally pushed out not only to the press, but also to domestic terrorist anarchist groups. This manufactured chaos is putting people in danger, and if it continues, it’s only a matter of time before someone gets seriously hurt… or worse.🚨🚨🚨
I am told that payments for assassinations are running through the Club des Cent in France.
This means there is a paper trail and I encourage the patriots of France to do what you can to uncover it.
I would again like to stress that there was a French female assassin but also a male, Israeli assassin that were selected to kill me.
These are joint state operations.
