QUOTES 08:17 "With the pledge and they call it the reimagining pledge, they've got 4 things they want people to do. They have the mayor promise to review the use of force, and then engage people, the community, they mean get anecdotes from people in the community." 08:40 "Then to report back within 90 days and then, I love this one the last one, and then go and reform your use of force policies. There's nothing about if you find that there's a problem, then go ahead and reform. No, it's not that." 08:56 "Talking to the police. That's not one of the things that they want people to do. So this is all done without police input. And I'm finding that trend in a lot of the research we did for the book." 13:53 "They would have you get up and go against the wall if you believe more in one thing than another. They wouldn't let you sit down or stay sitting down if you didn't believe in it either. It was like you had to choose and everything was gearing you towards a left response." 18:06 "It's not a grassroots organization or movement against the police. This is organized from political, I wouldn't even say political opponents anymore, they're political enemies. They want to destroy the police." ----------------------------- SUMMARY In this episode of the National Police Association Podcast, Sgt. Betsy Smith interviews Steve Pomper, author of "The Obama Gang", retired Seattle police officer, and NPA contributor. The Obama Foundation and the political left have been engaging in anti-police rhetoric and perpetuate it through the many layers of the foundation. Defunding the police is not a grassroots movement but rather an organized plot. One manifestation is that police reimagining training is actually just political indoctrination in disguise. ------------------------------ HIGHLIGHTS 00:24 Writing "The Obama Gang" 07:07 Reimagining police happens without any police input 14:21 Police reimagining training is political indoctrination 17:59 Anti-police rhetoric is organized by political enemies ------------------------------ RESOURCES
