Yesterday, during an arrest, Officer Helsley of the Clarksburg, WV police decided to slam an already detained person’s head into a curb and then punch the suspect repeatedly in the face. For some reason, most of the reporting on this situation leaves out the officer’s name. His name is Elijah Helsley, and he’s a police officer in Clarksburg, WV. He has been placed on leave pending an investigation, but the fact that his name is already being obscured doesn’t inspire confidence in me that Officer Helsley will be held accountable for his actions.
Like many of you, I am a product of the public schools. Like many of you I thought the Constitution was for lawyers and judges.
One day I read the Constitution, and was surprised to find I didn't need a law degree to understand it. Then I read the Declaration of Independence, the Federalist Papers and even the Anti-Federalist Papers. As I learned more and more about our founding fathers and documents I saw how little we know about how our country was designed to work and how many people just didn't care.
I started The Constitution Study to help those who also want read and study our Constitution.
