Former Baltimore Police Officer Speaks Out



A former Baltimore police officer offers his thoughts on what is causing so much of our violence and division in this country, and it comes down to two things

1.) The Drug War is failing everyone
2.) Money in politics is stagnating progress, and instigating class warfare
Reform in these two realms would go far to end the divisions among us.

Wealth and income inequality are totally separate and distinct from social justice.

I hear it all the time on DU.

of speech because they're hypersensitive and want to destroy American culture.

At least that's what Joe Rogan was saying in response to the recent confederate flag debate.

Don't follow Joe Rogan. Found this on a friend's fb feed, and thought the former cop had a lot of interesting things to say.
