Former Coordinator and Regional Field Director for The John Birch Society, Bliss Tew, now serving as Assistant Chair for the Utah Support Your Local Police Committee, discusses the threat to local police posed by Civilian Review Boards. He pointed to the proposed amendment to current Utah Law put forth in House Bill 74 https://le.utah.gov/~2021/bills/stati... in the Legislature, which would allow cities to create independent police review boards over the authority of local Police Chiefs with regard to policy and personnel. He notes how the Communist have pushed civilian review boards for generations as a tactic to break down law and order in order to bring about a dictatorship to restore order. Also he points out that Patrice Cullors of Black Lives Matter has admitted publicly that she is a trained Marxist. Not surprisingly, people associated with BLM and other similar organizations are pushing for civilian review boards. He recommends contacting state legislators immediately to oppose HB 74, even testifying in committee if able. https://jbs.org/alert/stop-utah-polic... He discusses the negative effects on police morale, public safety, and police effectiveness when civilian review boards are in place. https://thenewamerican.com/print/poli... Also, he discusses the need to educate police and sheriffs about the importance of nullifying unconstitutional edicts, mandates, and laws. One good article (out of print) he points out is "Sheriffs and Legislators are Acting to Nullify Obama Gun Controls" https://thenewamerican.com/sheriffs-a... Mr. Tew recommends a number of books: "The War on Cops," by Heather McDonald https://shopjbs.org/action-projects/s... "The Communist Attack on UA Police" by W. Cleon Skousen https://www.amazon.com/Communist-Atta... and the 1961 U.S. Senate Internal Security Subcommittee (SISS) special report, "A Communist Plot against the Free World Police" https://shopjbs.org/download-a-commun... He mentions the good work that is done by the JBS-affiliate organization, the Law Enforcement Charitable Foundation, www.lecf-inc.org and the great intelligence put out by their "Intelligence Brief."
