American cops are sent into chaos with almost zero real defensive-tactics training—some departments give recruits 8 hours total before handing them a gun. 13-year vet Sgt. Jordan Morris pulls zero punches: the job is broken, the culture is adversarial, and the fix is staring everyone in the face is jiu-jitsu plus real funding.

Raw, unfiltered, and urgent.
