Dear Patriot,
While you’re working the grill and watching fireworks this Fourth of July…
Two decorated police officers are sitting in prison cells…for doing exactly what they were trained and ordered to do.
Will you donate right now to help free them?
This isn’t just tragic. It’s a disgrace.
On July 4th, 2019, while America celebrated freedom, Officers Josh Taylor and Brandon Dingman were called to respond to a domestic disturbance in Wilson, Oklahoma.
They arrived to find a large man: 350 pounds, naked, acting erratically, and clearly in a mental or drug-induced crisis. He was resisting arrest.
Verbal commands didn’t work. Physical restraint was impossible. So they turned to their department-issued, non-lethal tasers, just like they were trained to do.
They deployed them multiple times, but the man kept pulling the barbs out. Eventually, they got him into cuffs and immediately called for medical assistance.
The man was taken to the hospital and sadly passed away two days later. The autopsy was inconclusive. He had an enlarged heart and lung issues. Drug screenings were unreliable.
There was no proven cause of death.
Two internal investigations—including one by the City Council—cleared the officers. They followed policy. They did everything right.
But a year later, a politically motivated District Attorney dug up the case and charged them both with second-degree murder.
Now, these two officers—fathers, protectors, public servants—are sitting in prison.
I’m Sheriff Joe Arpaio. I’ve spent decades defending the men and women of law enforcement. And I’m telling you right now: this case is a political hit job.
These officers didn’t break the law—they followed it. They didn’t ignore training—they relied on it. They didn’t flee—they called for help.
And now their lives have been shattered.
That’s why the National Center for Police Defense is fighting back—supporting their appeals, standing with their families, and pushing to remove the radical DA behind this injustice.
But appeals are costly. The longer this drags out, the longer Josh and Brandon sit behind bars—separated from their families, their children, their lives.
Will you step up today and donate to support their appeals?
