The Wounded Blue | America Out Loud News

When you think of Jihadist Extremism, you immediately think of the Middle East or North Africa. Yet if recent developments are any indication, it could be coming to a town near you. All of this signifies the importance of training and preparedness for local and state law enforcement. Local law enforcement truly are the front lines on the global war on terror. For this reason I invited a man with a very unique background and one who is in the position to set the record straight!

Muslim Iraqi War Veteran and Police Officer Dr. Noor Razzaq talks about the Law Enforcement Response to Jihadist Extremism. American cops are on the front lines of Muslim Terrorism but how can our police combat it? Dr. Razzaq spent ten years as a Police Officer, SWAT Operator, Police Trainer, Deputy U.S. Marshal and many other law enforcement positions. His views on how law enforcement can reach the Muslim community and use time tested Community Policing methods to advance the law enforcement mission are eye opening. Tune in as Host Randy Sutton interviews him and discusses this incredibly important topic as well as Police Officers "Duty To Survive."

Dr. Noor Razzaq is a university professor with varied experience across the military and law enforcement spectrum. He has served as Special Deputy U.S. Marshal, SWAT team operator/commander/instructor, training supervisor, patrolman, investigator, and protective services officer. He is currently an adjunct Associate Professor of Advanced National Security Studies at Morgan State University and serves as faculty in American Military University's Homeland Security Program. His professional experience consists of work in counterterrorism, force protection, anti-terrorism, and law enforcement to include joint operations with multiple federal and local law enforcement agencies.

He has since served as a city police officer (Chesapeake, VA), Spec. Deputy U.S. Marshal, SWAT commander/ instructor, and investigator to include a background in advanced interrogation and Forensic Behavior Analysis with an emphasis on offender profiling in serial rape and serial homicide cases.

Dr. Razzaq earned his Masters of Science in Criminal Justice from the University of Cincinnati with an emphasis on biosocial criminology to include the study of the relationship between neurology, genetics, and environment on criminal behavior. He earned his Doctor of Management in Homeland Security while studying under Dr. Nadav Morag, former Israeli President Ariel Sharon's Senior Director for Domestic Policy and subsequently for Foreign Policy, at Israel’s National Security Council, Prime Minister’s Office. His doctoral dissertation was titled “Is there such thing as a Muslim World? Quantitative Answers and Implications for Countering Violent Extremism”. Dr. Razzaq's own previous publications cover topics ranging in scope from counterterrorism, behavioral analysis, interview and interrogation, and law enforcement to intelligence reform and his current scholarly pursuits include quantitative cross-cultural studies, counter-radicalization, and the political psychology of terrorism. He is currently affiliated with the Naval Postgraduate School's Center for Homeland Defense and Security (NPS/CHDS) and the Defense Intelligence Agency's (DIA) Mid-Atlantic Consortium-Center for Academic Excellence (MAC-CAE). He is also a born-and-raised American Muslim and has a unique perspective on techniques for law enforcement to interact with a variety of predominately Muslim populat...

More then ever before, policing in America is a high-stakes, life-threatening proposition. Bottomline is the rules of the game have definitely changed for law enforcement. If we're to be honest with each other here, the yesteryear visions of little boys and girls dreaming for a career in blue - may be a thing of the past. You can connect the dots yourself - if you simply draw a line from Ferguson to Baltimore to Washington D.C. - you'll have enough evidence to make my case.

With all that said, I decided it was time to interview a guy who knows a thing or two about OFFICER SURVIVAL in a troubled world. Richard Nance is a straight shooter - for real - okay pun intended. But I promise you this, you'll learn something from him and his book.

Some in leadership are continually crying out for "softer" policing, yet the street cop knows that their very life may depend on the ultimate law enforcement tool, their service weapon. As Sergeant Major Kyle Lamb suggest, this should be required information for ANYONE CARRYING A FIREARM, especially citizens who have chosen to carry daily.

The ultimate survival challenge in police combat is the topic of this week's interview. Richard Nance, an active duty Police Officer, former SWAT cop and author of "Gunfight! An Integrated Approach to Shooting and Fighting in Close Quarters" discusses with host Lieutenant Randy Sutton, the all too important topic of Officer Survival. Tune in to hear this life preserving information.

We’re at an extremely critical point in American law enforcement right at this very moment. Crime skyrockets to numbers we haven't seen before, and still the political environment stays steadfast in their attempts to undermine the law enforcement community.

We have a 17% increase this year in homicides in metropolitan areas in the U.S. In some cities, it is astounding. Milwaukee up 72%, Cleveland up 90%, Nashville up 83%, Washington D.C. up 54%, Indianapolis up 61%. Shootings are up 80% in Chicago alone.

There are multiple factors driving these numbers that we'll discuss on the show today. African Americans compared to White have in some cities anywhere from a 800 to 1000% likelihood of dying of homicides. 92% of those homicides are committed by another African American male. Young black men are killed disproportionately by other young black men, it’s the leading cause of death of young black men in the U.S., and yet no one championed a cause to stop that other than the police and yet they're accused of racism,” says Dr. Gilmartin.

Leading police psychologist, Dr. Kevin Gilmartin blames leadership for the morale crisis. He joins me on Police Radio today for an incredible eye-opening, jaw-dropping conversation on POLICING IN AMERICA. If you thought you knew everything there was to know about the crisis - think again!

“I just wish the political environment would stop victimizing the cops, I wish they would stop using the cops as pawns in their political agenda,” says Dr. Gilmartin.

Dr. Kevin Gilmartin, the acclaimed author of "Emotional Survival for Law Enforcement" is one of the preeminent speakers on police issues in the world. Being a retired Police Officer himself, his book and his lectures have touched millions of Law Enforcement Officers in the United States and across the globe. His message about the failures to politically motivate police leadership in the United States is powerful.

“The Black Lives Movement, if it’s going to take credit for anything, they should take credit for increasing astronomically the number of young black men killed in inner city America, because that’s all their accomplishing,” says Dr. Gilmartin.

Dr. Gilmartin is a behavioral scientist specializing in law enforcement related issues. He is a principal and co-founder of Gilmartin, Harris, and Associates, a behavioral sciences/management consulting company specializing in law enforcement/public safety consultation. He previously spent twenty years working in law enforcement in Tucson, Arizona. During his tenure he supervised the Hostage Negotiations Team and the Behavioral Sciences Unit. He is a former recipient of the International Association of Chiefs of Police-Parade Magazine, National Police Officer Citation Award for contributions during hostage negotiations.

President Obama and the Department of Justice released the report on 21st century policing at the end of 2015. The following 5 guidelines are what they perceive as the most urgent needs for Law Enforcement in the U.S.

“When I hear and read something like this garbage out of the DOJ, all it does is infuriate me,” Lt. Sutton

1. Review and update policies, training, and data collection on use of force, and engage community members and police labor unions in the process.

2. Increase transparency of data, policies, and procedures.

3. Call on the POST Commission to implement all levels of training.

4. Examine hiring practices and ways to involve the community in recruiting.

5. Ensure officers have access to the tools they need to keep them safe

Hillary Clinton's Treatment of Police Revealed! Police Radio, The Voice  of American Law Enforcement tears the lid off of how Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton treats the Secret Service and Law Enforcement Officers that have protected her over the years. In this special broadcast, Host Randy Sutton speaks in depth with Ron Kessler, the renowned Investigative Journalist and New York Times Best Selling Author of "The First Family Detail, Secret Service Agents reveal the Hidden Lives of the Presidents". You will want to hear this before you decide how to vote.

Ronald Kessler is the New York Times bestselling author of 20 non-fiction books. Kessler began his career as a journalist in 1964 on the Worcester Telegram, followed by three years as an investigative reporter and editorial writer with the Boston Herald. In 1968, he joined the Wall Street Journal as an investigative reporter in the New York bureau. He became an investigative reporter with the Washington Post in 1970 and continued in that position until 1985.

Kessler has won 18 journalism awards, including two George Polk awards—one for national reporting and one for community service. Kessler has also won the Robert Novak Journalist of the Year Award, the American Political Science Association's Public Affairs Reporting Award, the Associated Press' Sevellon Brown Memorial Award, and Washingtonian magazine's Washingtonian of the Year award. Franklin Pierce University awarded him the Marlin Fitzwater Medallion for excellence as a prolific author, journalist, and communicator. He is listed in Who's Who in America.

In a similar story, the Daily Mail featured an article by Ron Kessler that you may also find of interest. EXCLUSIVE: Hillary 'triggered' suicide of President Bill Clinton's counsel Vince Foster when she attacked and humiliated him in front of White House staff one week before his death, FBI agents claim

THE FIRST FAMILY DETAIL reveals:

Vice President Joe Biden regularly orders the Secret Service to keep his military aide with the nuclear football a mile behind his motorcade, potentially leaving the country unable to retaliate in the event of a nuclear attack.

Secret Service agents discovered that former president Bill Clinton has a blond mistress who lives near the Clintons’ home in Chappaqua, New York. Within minutes of Hillary Clinton’s leaving, the woman—codenamed Energizer by agents—shows up to be with Bill and stays every day while the likely future presidential candidate is away.

The Secret Service covered up the fact that President Ronald Reagan’s White House staff overruled the Secret Service to let unscreened spectators get close to Reagan as he left the Washington Hilton, allowing John W. Hinckley Jr. to shoot the president.

President Obama's decision to appoint veteran agent Joseph P. Clancy as the new Secret Service director guarantees that the agency's security lapses will continue.

Secret Service agents have been dismayed to overhear Michelle Obama push her husband to be more aggressive in attacking Republicans and to side with blacks in racial controversies.

Secret Service Director Mark Sullivan diverted agents from protecting President Obama and his family at the White House and ordered them instead to protect his assistant at her home and illegally retrieve confidential law enforcement records as a favor to her.

Because Hillary Clinton is so nasty to agents, being assigned to her protective detail is considered a form of punishment and the worst assignment in the Secret Service.

Some people know this about me; others do not. I have killed a man. This is not a confession; it is just fact. I have nothing to hide about it. I am not ashamed of the fact. I have no regrets about doing it. I was doing my job. At the time of your death, I was a police officer. And, you tried your best to kill me. I am the police officer that killed you.

I hope you were not long in your suffering, but as I am aware, during the short time I spent with you, listening to your cries of agony and for mercy, the curses you spat at me, I endured, as you bled to death. I endured.

LISTEN IN TO THE PODCAST FOR THE FULL LETTER, AS LT RANDY SUTTON DOES A LIVE READ OF THIS INCREDIBLE LETTER FROM A POLICE OFFICER - WHOSE LIFE WAS FOREVER CHANGED ON THIS DAY!

Perhaps I’ll see you on the other side, if you reconciled, and the angels came to take you away to Heaven that early summer morning. If so, maybe we can have that drink and share a meal?

If not, you made another bad choice, infinitely worse than the first, and I will never see you again.

With Sincerity,

The police officer that killed you
