In the wake of this tragedy, a fair question is, “How much does the current Defund the Police movement contribute to such killings?”
Helping us answer this question as well as helping find solutions to keep shootings like this from continuing is our guest is Michael Letts, founder of InVest. This charitable organization provides bullet-proof vests to first responders.
Q&A:
- Tell us quickly what just happened in Georgia. For starters, how long was Officer Dylan Harrison on the job when the deadly shooting occurred?
- To what degree do you feel the “Defund the Police” had on this shooting and what accountability or consequences, if any, are there for leaders of that movement?
- How much have police shootings like this increased, if any, since the Defund Police Movement began?
- What can be done to reduce this tragic trend for law enforcement/first responders?
- You founded a company called InVest. What is InVestUSA doing to assist officers across the country, and what can citizens do to help?
- How does a tragedy of an officer killed in the line of duty affect the surrounding communities and neighbors?
- What does the future of law enforcement look like, and how do we prepare?
- Where may we get more information on your work at InVest or help in its work?
