I have a blade that keeps on getting rolled over. It's a Smith and Wesson CK212 Homeland Security. What do you suggest I do? Is there a tool I can used that will stop it from getting rolled over?

The edge may have a bur on it. You need to use a magnifying glass to see it. But if it does have a bur stropping it on some card board will remove the bur.
It's what, 440C with a black finish? If you don't care about the finish, look up the web (and a recent trhead here) about convex sharpening. I've lost the URL to the best site, again.
Convexing on some fine grit sandpaper is a good idea and so is stropping (especially if you convex it) if what you're dealing with is a burr. If you're truelly rolling it then you should consider steeling it after sharpening with a good smooth steel.
