American cops are sent into chaos with almost zero real defensive-tactics training—some departments give recruits 8 hours total before handing them a gun. 13-year vet Sgt. Jordan Morris pulls zero punches: the job is broken, the culture is adversarial, and the fix is staring everyone in the face is jiu-jitsu plus real funding. Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley dig into why officers burn out, why drug arrests explode jails, and how sticking cops in schools early actually stops crime before it starts. Raw, unfiltered, and urgent.
