Speaker 2 (00:50):
Give me that news quickie. Yeah wow, you know you. So,
I'm gonna start off before I give you any details
of this story with our good friends up there at
Channel seven in Bozeman, Washington. Who got footage? Oh no,
This is the police chief of the city Bozeman, washing
(01:12):
That which I think is the town where Washington State
University is, which I believe number one. Pick cam Ward
of the Titans where he was there for a little bit,
Mike Leach, coach. There, here's the police chief explaining what
went wrong.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Two teams of patrol officers were engaged in a bingo
competition where success in the game.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Okay, stop, oh okay. Two teams of police officers okay
a bingo competition at Bingo night, or.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
In a bingo competition where success in the game hinged
on whether they engaged in actions listed on the Bengo card.
Then they filled in squares of things that they wanted
to see happen or have happened in order to check
off that box in the Bengal card. An example of
one of those was to do a search warrant on
a car, which in and of itself that is part
of their duties. The concern is if then they manipulated
(02:01):
anything in order to be able to search a car.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Okay, and win it bingo and when it police bingo.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
And this is not like one or two or three,
it's thirteen police officers. Man, Okay, so I have the
bingo card. Okay.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Oh so they all didn't have different bingo cards. There's
there's one.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Yeah, I think one team has a yeah, okay, midshift
bingo is what it says, helped the day fly by.
So in the first column, two hat tricks per team
per night, I'm guessing three arrests. That be your hat trick. Okay,
recover a stolen vehicle, tough one, that's good, right, that
(02:43):
should be a center square. Extinguish a fire before the
Bozeman fire department gets there. Oh that's awesome. You see
it like fighting hard to get it done. The fire
departments like, what are you doing?
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Why?
Speaker 2 (02:55):
He try it some hard to put a fire out.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
We're on our way, okay, But clearly this puts the
police officers in a position to start a fire in
order to put it out.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Yes, one arrest for every member for every team, for
for every day for a week. So you know these
are squads are probably six or seven people. I'm guessing
if there's thirteen total involved, say you know, and then
lastly apply a chest seal. I don't know what that means.
A TQQR chest seal. I don't know what that could be.
(03:26):
What's it?
Speaker 1 (03:27):
TQQR Yeah, TQQR.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Or over point three to zero blood alcohol content? DUI, god,
that's like almost four times the legal limit. That's insane,
A non drug related what's that? It's hard to see him.
I'm good. I get sing in here. Everyone on the
(03:52):
team gets a felony in a week. Successful CPR. That's
a good thing. Yeah, arrest three people out of one car,
two on team and a vehicle pursuit. So looking for
a high speed chase. Let's see a successful canine track.
(04:14):
I'm assuming get the dog out for something. I want
to say something.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Yeah, I'm laughing because this reminds me of super Bad.
I mean, this is super Troopers, maybe Suppers. Like the
stuff that they were doing. I feel I've actually never
seen Supertroopers, but I feel like this is objectively evil,
that this is happening. This, this sounds exactly like Supertroopers.
(04:38):
Here's guys doing idiot stuff to make the day fly by.
But your law enforcement.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
A three plus vehicle accident, we can get a pile up.
That'd be great. We can get bingo. Here's my favorite
one of all of them, though, have a team member
get hit on by an arrestee. Does it specify gender? No,
and you wouldn't have to write. I don't know if
there's any female police women involved here? How come they
(05:08):
You don't ever hear that one? What's that? Police women?
You're a policeman all the time because fear of them
police women, police women, the policewoman, police lady. The policeman
pulled me over, but it was a woman, the police
woman pulled me over. Would you say that, yeah, the lady.
I think skin nailed it. Police lady. Yeah. I don't
(05:28):
think you can say that. Hey that or police mama.
Are you trying to get canceled? No, police, police Mama's legit.
I think like these are all things we could do.
We could break out some bingo for work.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Yeah, it's a little different for us, but our actions
don't entail anyone going to jail unnecessarily to win a
bingo car.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
That's a good point you make, and I hadn't thought
that far. Yeah, you know, but what are some things
that we could do? Austin reeves, well, he already has
his list of things. He comes up that's square, which
you did it today though, So that's on you. See,
I'm influencing you guys.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
By the way, if the Lakers are going to beat
the Wolves, Austin needs to step up. Dude, know he
just need to step up. I know one no one
rode along with Luca the other night, well go.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Because he is a disgusting fat pig.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
While Anthony Edwards was telling Los Angeles Laker fans that
he had a bigger d than they had, then what
was the thing he was doing? Was doing a Spider
Man web on Luca. I wasn't sure I saw that
still photo, but I was. He held his hand out
after hitting a three, and it looked like he had
like a Charles Haley finger that was pointing the wrong direction.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
There's a there's a.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Lot of things I don't understand because currently in the NBA,
anytime a guy makes the three, he injects heroin into
his veins, and I'm not sure I understand what all
that's about.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Yeah, it's very strange. I used to just like let
the let the hand.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Fly, hold us, hold it up there. What were your
numbers like in your best year and my best year?
I gonna go back into the archives here. It was
like a twelve six to three guy.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Yeah. Really, I've seen highlights of you. Yeah, but I
was like all my points were threes. Yeah, yeah, make
it rained, not stepping inside the three point line. Yeah.
So your six boards or six assists? Six boards? Yep?
Oh I played defense.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Oh okay, it's unrelated to the question though. So what
was your defensive rating? Show us your defensive stance?
Speaker 2 (07:26):
What was your individual plus minus? So where do you
guys stand on this? Should these cops be canceled for Yes,
they should be fired. Yeah, yeah, they lose their job
a fun game of bingo. It shouldn't be in law enforcement.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
They shouldn't be in law It's a very serious job.
And there's a really tough history.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Because there's.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Of people abusing the badge. And I would say that this.
I think if you had any police officer and you
asked them about this and they were on camera, they
would say they were very embarrassed by the actions of
this police officer. If there was a recording device while
you asked them, they were very embarrassed that this got out.
I hear you, and I see both of you. But
(08:09):
let's not act like there's a big line out the
door in Bozeman, Washington, one of the coldest cities in
America for people to get into some odd hours law enforcement.
I am people are looking for some indoor central heating
jobs in Bozeman, Washington. I am very curious how many
people are on the force does this represent, because I
have no idea how big Bozeman is.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Okay, so there's two sergeants here, and you don't hear
that word us much anymore either, Like what other job
is there sergeants outside of military and police? So if
there's thirteen people, two squads, two sergeants being charged, six
a squad, how many four or five squads? Probably six squads,
I'm guessing.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
I feel like you're just making up numbers. We're gonna
lay off the whole department. Basically, Yeah, you can't do this,
tell them to quit playing bingo. Gots, just cut out
the bingo. You do your job, all right.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
There you have it.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
