*(Disclaimer: To address the title of this column, it’s really for all levels of policing and law enforcement and all genders, all colors, ethnicities, nationalities, heritages, and cultural differences. It was partially given this title due to the sensationalizations of black male encounters with law enforcement and the elevated deadly outcomes always for black males with or without weapons. Most recorded shootings are by white officers, yet this lesson is for all officers of the law and civilians/citizens alike.)
On July 26, 2025, Traverse City, Michigan, became ground zero for a lesson America can no longer ignore. A domestic terrorist attack unfolded at a Walmart—not with an AR-15, but with a 3.5-inch folding knife. Bradford James Gille, a 42-year-old white male from Afton, Michigan, stabbed eleven innocent people, fueled by delusions, drug use, and unchecked mental instability.
Gille is no outlier. He’s a self-published author on Amazon, whose bizarre books claim he is the reincarnation of Jesus Christ and Judas Iscariot—writing that reveals a deeply unwell man.
Gille has a rap sheet that includes drug charges, vandalism, and time served in a Florida jail. Yet, he was taken into custody alive—charged with 11 counts of attempted murder and 1 count of terrorism (Newsweek).
