There’s a Solution to Police Abuse, But It’s Not Defunding Police Departments

The majority of America's police officers are brave men and women who make sacrifices and take risks every day to keep our communities safe, but incidents of misconduct do occur. Defunding America’s police departments would not solve the issue of police abuse, but limiting the power of police unions would allow for needed reforms.  Rachel Greszler, a research fellow at The Heritage Foundation, joins “Problematic Women” to discuss her new piece untitled,  “Confronting Police Abuse Requires Shifting Power From Police Unions.”  Police unions have made it extremely challenging for police chiefs to fire or adequate reprimand officers for poor behavior or abuse of power. Control of police departments must be taken away from unions and placed back in the hands of the police chiefs who know their communities and officers best.  Also on today’s show, we share Rachel del Guidice’s recent conversation with Star Parker, founder of the Center for Urban Renewal and Education. Parker explains why America is not inherently racist. Plus, Katrina Trinko joins us for a timely discussion regarding author J.K. Rowling and her recent tweet that defies political correctness.
