Chiefs of Police Association VP Calls Terrorism War Politically Correct

As time passes and the events of September 11th become more distant, the voices of America's political-correctness orthodoxy have increased their volume and intensity.

As time passes and the events of September 11th become more distant, the voices of America's political-correctness orthodoxy have increased their volume and intensity. They now feel safe in questioning Homeland Security tactics to combat terrorism and are attempting to turn public opinion against law-enforcement leaders.

"The ACLU sent out a mass mailing asking police agencies to not cooperate with federal law enforcement. This is madness," claims Jim Kouri, Vice President of the 14,000-member National Association of Chiefs of Police.

"We are not Nazis. We're trying to save lives."

Kouri claims the recent grilling of Attorney General John Ashcroft by Senator Patrick Leahy and his committee should outrage all sane-thinking Americans. He says that these paragons of civil liberties confuse constitutionality with political correctness. If something does not agree with their world view, it's labeled unconstitutional. Kouri describes the ACLU and their ilk as "bullies who use the legal system to harass cops and school children."

Kouri, an award-winning writer and contributing editor for Chief of Police
Magazine and Police Times, has written a series of articles for police officers on the subject of terrorism. The series included 'target hardening', incident investigation, anti-terrorism and counterterrorism, and other subjects.
Jim Kouri served as chief at a housing project in the Washington Heights
section of New York City dubbed "Crack City" by reporters covering the drug
war in the 1980s, prior to becoming a noted security executive and consultant. He's the author of two books: Crime Talk: Conversations with America's Top Crimefighters, a NY Cop Magazine Book of the Month, and Assume the Position: Police Science for Novelists, Screenwriters and Journalists. He's a veteran on-air commentator and has appeared on Oprah, The O'Reilly Factor, The McLaughlin Report, CNN Headline News, CBS News, and many others. An award-winning writer and decorated law-enforcement official, Kouri also served on the National Drug Task Force in Washington, DC and is a candid and outspoken professional.
