Me and Bill O’Reilly
If you missed it, here’s me on Bill O’Reilly’s show from back September 1, talking about the non-increase of cops being killed. And here’s me again on October 8th.
Kooks of C-SPAN
I expected better from C-Span. Do they not have a call screener? From the left, do I really need to say on national TV that police departments are controlled lock, stock and barrel by the Klan? From the right, do I really need to have to answer for a caller who talks about: Caller: RAMPAGING BLACK CRIMINALITY THAT IS RAMPANT…
Sunday Sunday Sunday
For those interested, I have a schedule long-form interview on C-Span tomorrow (Sunday) at 9:15am eastern, talking about police issues, I suppose.
Hey, I’m quoted in the Economist!
And I managed not to swear. But it might be behind a paywall. If so, here is the good parts version: Even undercounting, America easily outguns other rich countries: in the year to March 2013 police in England and Wales fired weapons three times and killed no one. Such comparisons should be read in context. America’s police operate in a…
Meanwhile, in the land of Greek Americans
I’m featured in The National Herald, the largest Greek-American newspaper. Front page story, no less (below the fold). Must have been a slow news week. Read all about it.
Number two, shooting for number one
The good people over at How-to-Become-a-Police-Officer.com have just informed me that by some fancy measures they use, I have the second most popular law enforcement blog. How ’bout that? I wouldn’t complete trust that list since it doesn’t include Second City Cop which is quite good and has many more readers, judging from the number of comments. But hey, who…
Like David Hasselhoff, but in Australia. And with a whip.
Not too long ago I was kindly very politely by a woman at the Australian Police Journal to restate my argument in defense of flogging. This goes back to my Festival of Dangerous Ideas talk last November. I am generally happy to oblige anything with “police” in the name, even if they don’t pay. So I dusted something off and…
“Taxpayers” Riot in Nebraska after Cop Killed. South Omaha Greektown burned and looted!
What? It’s true! (Even if it is from 1909.) Why do I mention this? Maybe because it all started when a Greek-American shot and killed South Omaha Police Officer Ed Lowery. Or maybe not. Look, this has nothing to do with police (except for the aforementioned killing), but my third book is finally out. It’s done. It’s a Moskos and…
Defending Flogging Down Under
Waste an hour watching my dangerous idea at the Sydney Opera House’s 2013 Festival of Dangerous Ideas: There’s also me on a panel “Getting Soft on Crime”: You can watch all the Dangerous Ideas here. What an amazing weekend and amazingly well run festival! Thanks to everybody at FODI.
