May 18, 2015

JBS CEO Art Thompson’s weekly news video update for May 18 – 24, 2015.

In this week’s Analysis Behind the News video, JBS CEO Art Thompson discusses how what we’re seeing in Ferguson and Baltimore are portents of things to come; how President Obama has just announced that the federal government will no longer supply certain military equipment to local police forces, which will put local police forces at a disadvantage when confronting drug cartels, etc.; how we’re now seeing that Russia and China are getting involved in supporting various separatist movements within the United States; how such separatist movements can create crises that lead citizens to call out for federal police solutions; how China and India are strengthening military ties; how China is putting pressure on the U.S. through its actions around the globe; and how part of the answer to increasing violence in our cities is to Support Your Local Police – And Keep Them Independent!
