E065: Do Something
“When men choose to do nothing, they also learn to do evil.” – Cato
In This Episode, We Get Stoic About:
Cato inspired our founding fathers with his steadfast integrity and fealty to the Republic. Like them, he understood that in the face of wrongdoing and injustice, remaining passive or indifferent could lead individuals down a perilous path of moral decline.
Law enforcement needs more men like Cato. In today’s hyper-political policing environment, the profession is plagued by too many officers who are willing to ‘go along to get along’ to avoid scrutiny and gain acceptance from their peers and supervisors.
We talk about the importance of choosing Cato’s path on today’s podcast!
