Citizens Behind the Badge Op-ed published in "The Daily Signal"

Our citizens made it clear that they are sick and tired of politicians who prefer coddling criminals to supporting our police. Sadly, though, it will take years to recover from the disastrous consequences of this movement that decimated and demoralized our nation’s police forces, ignited more crime, and cost thousands of innocent lives.
