We believe that everyone should be educated so that they can protect themselves & their loved ones.
Under the Trump administration, they gave more power to police, and accountability went down. Federal oversight of abusive departments was shut down, and civil rights investigations into police misconduct were frozen. Officers faced fewer consequences, even in departments with long histories of brutality.
At the same time, Trump encouraged "law and order" crackdowns, deployed masked federal agents into protests, and sent active duty troops into cities without local approval. Their message is clear: protect the badge, not the people.
This course exists because the system is getting more aggressive. Learn exactly what to say, what not to say, what to do, and how to protect yourself before it’s too late.
While proceeds from this course support organizations fighting wrongful imprisonment and civil rights abuse, we believe knowledge should be accessible to everyone.
