Your law enforcement officers have to have your support

WOODLAND PARK, COLORADO, UNITED STATES, May 6, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The “Defund the Police” movement has gained widespread exposure due to negative news media reports and as a result is causing serious effects on communities, according to Teller County, Colorado, Sheriff Jason Mikesell.

According to Sheriff Mikesell, reports show enforcement officers leaving departments in droves.

“The less law enforcement out there protecting your rights, you’re losing your freedom,” said the sheriff.

Sheriff Mikesell recently joined a Truth & Liberty Coalition livecast to discuss a number of issues, including law enforcement challenges in America.

“Those men and women are putting their lives on the line for people that are now saying, ‘We’re not going to fund you, we’re not going to support you, we’re not going to help you,’” he said. “‘In fact, we’re going to come after you, we’re going to terrorize you, we’re going to put you in the national media.’”

Through their Monday livecasts with distinguished and topical guests like Sheriff Mikesell, the Truth & Liberty Coalition is working to equip people to stand for Christian values on principles in the culture.

“Educating people of faith to engage in public affairs is important for maintaining biblical values in our society,” said Richard Harris, executive director, Truth & Liberty Coalition.

Mikesell said the response from some public officials has been to limit the effectiveness of police departments. Cities that are defunding law enforcement are seeing their downtown areas destroyed because officers are restricted from policing.

“Your law enforcement officers have to have your support,” said Sheriff Mikesell “Most of the administrations in those police departments work for a city council or city administrator. And the police chiefs don’t have the right to say, ‘No.’”

Sheriff Mikesell also discussed effects of the border crisis on the community. Over the years, Sheriff Mikesell and deputies have worked to eliminate drug cartels from Teller County. A number of the cartel participants were identified as illegal aliens. According to the sheriff, open borders will allow those same cartels “to push things across the border quicker, faster, easier.”

“People have to get involved in their communities and they have to get involved in the politics,” said Mikesell. “I know nobody wants to get involved in politics – I never wanted to get involved in politics – but it is the only way to change your country and save it.”

“We find often that Christians don’t know where to start,” said Harris. “Our goal is to educate audiences and connect with resources and groups across the nation to help them impact their own spheres of influence.”
