MANAGING EDITOR’S POINT OF VIEW
/MANAGING EDITOR’S POINT OF VIEW
Another issue of great importance is here!
As America fights back the progressive movement, along with all of its detrimental effect, it is finally waning! The real pandemic has been those not being able to admit they have largely been wrong. Implementation of bail reforms, not prosecuting “low-level” crimes which have historically allowed police to debrief offenders leading to higher clearance rates of major offenses, believing in an artificial level of the effectiveness of lockdowns, social distancing, masks and vaccinations all while ignoring real the real “science” on these and other topics.
The “science” and wrongheaded thinking appears to be beginning to be replaced by the “political science” as progressives’ poll numbers tank and our America is awakened to reality.
Our cover story by America’s Sheriff David Clarke (Ret.) Memo to the Political Class: Do Something, Dammit is a call to action and a blueprint to correct course, restore respect for law enforcement, and make our streets safe again.
Leonard Sipes asks the question Can Proactive Policing Save American Cities? Noting that the only effort that indicates reductions in crime are proactive police strategies. While recognizing that police proactivity faces major challenges in the current political climate, he makes the case for the importance of a return to greater assertiveness in policing.
Blue magazine continues to be the fiercest national law enforcement publication with cutting-edge commentary on the daily issues and challenges we face. Each and every article in this issue is worthy of your time as our writers continue to lead from the front.
Stay tuned as we continue to speak out against the unacceptable violence and murders of our colleagues and friends. May our many wounded warriors, deceased heroes and their families find the peace and justice they deserve. Don’t miss the article on Randy Sutton and his organization The Wounded Blue. Our prayers for all who are ill or injured. And may our active duty first responders remain safe and continue to watch each others’ six at all times.
Blue magazine continues to grow in both leadership and readership. I am very impressed with how much growth we have seen, especially most recently in the State of Florida. To our readers and supporters in Florida and everywhere, we are truly thankful, humble and amazed by the level of support.
As the independent voice of law enforcement, Blue magazine is honored to continue to join forces with you in our pursuit of truth, justice and the American way. Encourage others to make a stand and not tolerate harassment, bullying and violations of liberty which must cease and desist now. We are here for you… reach out when you need us the most.
Together we are strongest!
