Police 1 (opinion)
Currie Myers writes, "Words have significant meaning, and the current arguments around messaging related to policing in America have distracted us from the real opportunity: to adopt policing policies that are good for law enforcement and our communities. As a former sheriff, I understand why my colleagues in the field have reservations when lawmakers discuss 'reforming,' 'defunding,' or even 'abolishing' the police."
