At Davidson Local, we run political stories from various viewpoints because our community isn’t one-note—and neither is the truth. Our job isn’t to tell people what to think; it’s to make sure they have access to the full picture. Informed voters are empowered voters. We believe in shining light on all sides, even when it’s uncomfortable, because democracy isn’t served by silence—it’s built on dialogue.
We urge our County leaders to speak carefully and respectfully when making public comparisons about risk, especially when discussing the lives and sacrifices of officers who put themselves between the public and danger every single day. Public service comes in many forms—but not all service carries the same burden of being both protector and target.
