Daniel Henninger of the WSJ does not think that free speech is dead. Yet. But it certainly is in need of active defending, he maintains. Aware of the natural tendency of factions and majorities to want to suppress opposition opinion, the Founders created a Bill of Rights for all citizens, including what they called, with […]
How Camden Brought About Safe Policing
Several years ago it would have been laughable to think of Camden, N.J. as a shining example of good urban policy. Camden’s homicide rate was 87 per 100,000 population, 50% above the prevailing rate in America’s most murderous large city – Baltimore. Last year, Camden reduced its homicide rate almost two-thirds, reports Stephan J.K. Walters […]

Look at the cities hosting the riots and looting. Republicans do not run those cities. Democrats do. And have for years. Stop blaming Donald Trump for everything that is going on in our crime-infested cities. Protesting the death of a black man is not the same as looting and destroying property.

However sickening the video of Floyd’s arrest, it isn’t representative of the 375 million annual contacts that police officers have with […]
