The Police Perspective: The ACLU Challenge: Show Me the Tanks and Machine Guns
http://joelshults.blogspot.com/2014/12/the-aclu-challenge-show-me-tanks-and.html
Monday, December 15, 2014. The ACLU Challenge: Show Me the Tanks and Machine Guns. Being the libertarian leaning citizen that I am, I confess that on some issues the ACLU and I are on the same page. Those pages may not make up a large book, mind you, but I'm not in favor of unnecessary government intrusion any more than they are. 1 The existence of any tank in the inventory of any local or county law enforcement agency. A tank is a tracked vehicle with a functional revolving turret on which is mounte...

The Police Perspective: What Police Critics May Miss in Response to the DOJ Ferguson Report
http://joelshults.blogspot.com/2015/03/what-police-critics-may-miss-in.html
Saturday, March 7, 2015. What Police Critics May Miss in Response to the DOJ Ferguson Report. Poking the Wrong Bear. Support Change by Demanding the Best for the. What then is the issue? In Ferguson, the clearly emerging issue is one of the corrupting influence of money. Money drove police priorities. Money drove abuses of the city’s court. Money provided the camouflage smokescreen behind which police conduct was overlooked while police “productivity” was celebrated. Cas...Labels: black lives matter.

The Police Perspective: April 2015
http://joelshults.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 28, 2015. Criminal Heroes – What Will History Say? He will read that journalists and commentators place these men in the same category as those who marched with MLK, and the victims of vicious lynchings of KKK terror. He will read that the violence was necessary for reform, and that the cry of black lives matter. Was as noble as the call of I have a dream. Third rate educational opportunities? No, it was that cop. The easy answer. But we did not. Posted by Dr. Joel F. Shults.

Tuesday, November 11, 2014. Ferguson Protestors' Rules for Police Inspiring New Era of Negotiation. The “Don’t Shoot Coalition” in St. Louis, Missouri has presented a package of requests to police officials on how to handle protests that will occur after the announcement of the grand jury’s decision on Officer Darren Wilson, investigated for the shooting of Ferguson resident Michael Brown.

The Police Perspective: May 2014
http://joelshults.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 12, 2014. Position Statement: Police officers have no obligation to ignore and disregard threats made by arrestees that are a prosecutable "influence" under CRS 18-8-306 merely because of the defendant's emotional state. One of the most common means by which arrestees attempt to change a police officer's mind about an arrest is to threaten to cause the officer to lose his or her job. How many other innocents have you screwed: Bet you lost count years ago! You might just end up your own victim!

Monday, January 19, 2015. Cop Hate: The Zombie Epidemic. As I watched the zombie movie World War Z recently, the images of perfectly normal people turning into raging, ravenous creatures reminded me of the anti-police movement spawned by the Ferguson riots I witnessed last August. How can we understand the swiftly moving and factually erroneous consensus that cops are killing unarmed black men all the time and everywhere? The current anti-police sentiment will not fade like the Macarana or the Ebola pani...

The Police Perspective: October 2013
http://joelshults.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 13, 2013. Contextual Compliance Took Kit. The word is spreading that the use of force continuum is dying a slow death. While the continuum model has served as a useful instructional tool for trainees over the years it has serious and even dangerous limitations as a tool for application in a field environment. While this principle may not sound radically different than current practice it is a contrast to the continuum model. The continuum doctrine and its underlying premise is that of...
