I was recently honored to be one of the speakers at the Michigan State Capitol at a “Backing the Blue” rally. I spoke about how we have a choice in how we respond to the critics that let perception be reality.

  1. This is a good speech, man. I think building trust and community between cops and the communities they serve is probably one of the most important things we can do. I get a lot of the criticism people level towards the cops. I live in Baltimore, and they do a lot of fucked up things here. The DOJ released a report outlining all the ways they broke and bent the laws including abuse of force and racial profiling. But I can't ever buy into the whole fuck the police mentality. We need the police. It's a necessary part of our society. The question has to be "how can we make the Police better", not "how can we destroy the police".

  2. nice speech job well done !!! with all do respect !!! In my community the cops are just plain pricks they are jerks !!! How as an American can I back the blue when locally our society police force is extremely unprofessional!!!

  3. mike lets start a social media site or news that all we post is good cops doing great things all the time to counter act all the bad negative media

  4. I have been a cop for over 20 years. This one video of yours (I am a subscriber) is by far your best. It is self evident that you were speeking from your heart, with genuine concern for our industry as well as our society and neighborhoods. Well done Sir. Well played!!

  5. Great speech! We are only human and sometimes when out of uniform we respond with a knee jerk reaction and say what first comes to mind in moments of anger then regret it later. I usually try to just keep my mouth shut most of the time

  6. Fantastic speech – making sure to share with the family. Sending you love and support, Officer Mike.

  7. You sir, make me proud to live in this great state of Michigan..  You an the hundreds if not thousands of loyal, and honest police.. I know many of my local cops, and its funny how a lot of them act just like you.. Thank you for taking and up holding the oath..

  8. You're a really good public speaker man, good work out there. You guys at Humanize the badge really remind some of us of why we still want this job.

  9. Great speech, I think you need to invest in some HTB polos look a litter nicer. But that might be the shinny boot guy in me.
