This was an Instagram and YouTube Live Discussion: A police chief allegedly living out of state lit up the news cycle, but we wanted to slow down and ask better questions: What do the policies say? What are taxpayers actually paying for? And in a 24/7 profession built on phones, CAD, RTCC feeds and command calls, does a zip code define leadership—or do results?

We share a candid, on-the-ground perspective from two decades in patrol, training, and the real-time crime center. You’ll hear why firefighters sleeping at stations has long been normal, how some departments allow rotations with clear approvals, and where residency rules draw bright lines. Then we get practical: how FTO programs work when done right (volunteers, stipends, documented feedback), how bad habits often stem from training gaps, and why culture change starts with consistent standards and visible accountability.

From there, we go deep on technology that shapes modern policing. Learn how an RTCC taps into body-worn cameras, drones, and city systems to protect officers and civilians in real time. Understand why audit logs, short retention windows, and transparent policies matter for tools like LPRs. And get a straight take on body cams: activate on dispatch, no muting, let redaction happen later. The same systems that increase power also record its use—and that’s a feature, not a bug, when communities demand trust.

We also tackle listener questions: what discipline looks like for camera lapses, why tech doesn’t replace judgment, and how leadership presence is about availability, not street-side cameos. If you care about policy, training, technology, and the line between optics and outcomes, this conversation brings clarity without the spin.

If this resonated, subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review. Tell us: should a chief’s location matter if the policies, audits, and performance are tight? We want your take.

SPEAKER_03 (00:06):
Let's see if we can get this here to go.

(00:28):
All right, how are we gonna workthis?

SPEAKER_02 (00:31):
Trying to get Instagram and YouTube working at
the same time.
Just jumped on to talk about thenews I've been reading.

SPEAKER_01 (00:52):
The news that I read today is about a chief living in
a different state.
Just curious what you guys'thoughts and opinions are.
Or chief living in a differentarea.

SPEAKER_00 (01:10):
Me personally.
I don't care.

SPEAKER_01 (01:14):
I don't think it's a big deal.
But I'm curious what y'allthink.
Might be a discussion worthhaving.

SPEAKER_02 (01:23):
Look at that stash.
What's up, Brett?
Yeah.
Don't don't get too attached tothe mustache.
It's not stained, I promise you.
I have a military ceremonycoming up the end of next week,
and I just wanted my face to getused to being shaved.
So it didn't get all crazy bumpsand stuff.
And I look more ridiculouswithout a mustache.

(01:45):
So, but the beard, the beardwill come back, I promise you.
Your fire mustache is preventingyou from going live on both.
Is it?
Am I not live on my YouTubechannel?
Let's see here.
I am trying to get these windowsto be smaller.

(02:07):
I'm working off of a laptopoutside, obviously, so I just
get bored.
Try to do some different things.
So there's the chief.
Somebody's asking, uh Abby'sasking what chief.
There's a chief out ofCalifornia that is commuting
from Ohio.
At least that's the allegation.

(02:28):
Personally, don't care.
Chiefs, in my opinion, they theydo the job from the phone
anyway.
Technology's gotten to thepoint.
I mean, look what I'm doingright now.
Technology's gotten to the pointwhere that's not a big deal.
Um cop, two streams from Corey.
Looks like it is look.

(02:50):
Looks like it is working.
And yep, it is.
It's going through to YouTube,and we're over here on
Instagram.
So yeah, we got both going.
That's cool.
I tried to get TikTok going, butuh TikTok does not work on Macs,
apparently.
Wasn't able to get that oneworking as well.

(03:15):
But um the point being, uh Iagree with Brett.
I think it would be optimal, butnot required.
And then the other problem thatpeople had was the fact that the
chief was sleeping at thesector.
Listen, guys, that's nothingnew.
That's happened historically foryears.

(03:35):
Um, every sector I've everworked in has had COTS
available.
Offsters that work midnights,they have court in the morning,
they don't want to drive backhome, they sleep, get up early,
go to court.
Um, you also get cops that uhthey get stuck over, they end up
working like a 14, 16, 18-hourshift sometimes.

(03:59):
Just it's the first responderworld.
Shit happens.
So, and we're talking about achief level, y'all.
Chief.
The chief isn't out there.
I promise.
The chief is not out in thestreets.
You don't need him there.
You don't need him there.
So, yes, you need him to bepresent.

(04:19):
So, him staying there andworking his week and staying at
the second, I think that'sthat's a guy that's dedicated to
a job, and that's that's whatyou want.
Uh Red Ninja said, I don't careas long as it's not against
their rules and regs.
If he's committed to thedepartment, his performance
isn't lacking.
I do worry about the camaraderiewith the agency.
Yeah, I mean, that's fine.

(04:41):
Um Brett said, but taxpayersshouldn't be having to pay for
extra housing.
They're not paying for extrahousing.
They're sleeping in a we'resleeping in the sector that is
designed to do that.
Because guess what taxpayers payfor with their firefighters?
They sleep in the firehouse.
It's no different.

(05:02):
People are just butthurt becauseit's a cop.
I don't hear anybody saying shitabout firefighters sleeping in
the firehouse.
I don't hear anybody saying shitabout firefighters taking the
fire truck up to the grocerystore to buy all their groceries
for the week.
So you're gonna get mad that achief has to probably live out

(05:25):
of state just to afford somesort of decent living?
I don't get the argument.
The department's not paying foranything.
Police departments are 24-7, sothe building's always gonna be
occupied anyway.
Now, if he was having a hoteland they they were paying for

(05:47):
the hotel, that that'sdifferent.
I get that.
I would be upset about that too.
We didn't agree to house you uhand put up a bill for you to be
staying at a hotel, but that'snot what's happening.
At least not to what I know.
Umnout said, gonna miss thecops.

(06:11):
Chump is replacing them withproud children.
I don't know what that meansexactly, but I think it's a
political joke.
Bling bling, it's my life.
He's mad because he doesn't getas much girls as cops.
Alexia Flores.
Given hearts.
Hi, Alexia.

(06:32):
It is cold and rainy in Texastoday, by the way.
Brett said, Yeah, that'd be aproblem.
Your choice to live elsewhere,not my tax dollars problem.
It's not, I don't see how it'saffecting your tax dollars.
It's actually better for yourtax dollars because you have a
chief that's there 24-7,probably for five days in a row
or for four days in a row.

(06:53):
You're actually getting more ofa benefit than you are if you
were living off the ground.
Um I know cops that have theirown campers and they do the same
thing.
They they live an hour and ahalf, two hours away.
So they just bring their camper,they sleep out in their camper
and then go.

(07:14):
Uh they stay their tour, theystay there four days, and then
they drive back home.
Asker66 said the people will payfor it, assuming an accident
happens, a fire at the station,the legal battle afterwards will
cut.
That's such a poor argument.
That could happen.

(07:35):
They're carrying guns, guys.
It's like worrying about anaccidental discharge.
Like, shit happens.
Doesn't matter if he's sleepingthere or not.
Again, they're 24-7 buildings,they're always operational.

(07:55):
Alexia Flores says, I want to bea cop, a hot cop.
You should focus just on being acop first before you worry about
being a hot cop.
Poorly, America first.
I like America.

SPEAKER_01 (08:09):
I don't think anybody's arguing America first.

SPEAKER_02 (08:27):
We're talking about how a chief is commuting from
California to Idaho back andforth.
He works out of California.
I'm of the opinion it doesn'tmake a difference.
No one gave a crap aboutfirefighters.
Firefighters have been doing itforever.
There's California firefightersthat live out of Arizona.

(08:47):
I know that one for a fact.
And they they fly back and forthwhen they do their tours.
Again, nobody cared until it wasa cop, which is stupid.
It's it's dumb.
It's not it, it is not costingthe taxpayers anything extra.
If anything, you're getting abenefit from it.

(09:09):
Brett said, Son of a bitch, Ikeep having internet issues.
Bling bling, it's my life said,Why do we make women pay for
people who don't make their fairshare?
I don't even know.
Bro, this is a police page.
First responders.
We're not talking about that.
Uh he said, firefighters geteverything, man.

(09:32):
You ain't lying.

SPEAKER_01 (09:36):
I'm not a bot 404.
I think you are a bot.
Blue Shield tactical.
I just seen they joined.
What's up, guys?
If you guys don't know blueshield tactical, check them out.
It's a good page.

SPEAKER_02 (09:54):
But Chaplin Campbell.
Love those hoseling stashthings.
I promise it's temporary.
Two weeks max is as long as thisthing's staying on.
Oh.
Alright, guys.
I see some political chat in thein the YouTube channel.

(10:17):
We're not we're talking aboutthe news with the chief that's
commuting back and forth fromCalifornia to Idaho.
Uh and seeing what people thinkabout that.
We don't we don't get intopolitics on here, y'all.
But I do appreciate you coming.
Thanks.
This morning I'm enjoying myQuest Protein Breakfast Protein

(10:38):
Bar Oreo cookie, if you'rewondering.
And Wallain Watermelon Bang.
Well, it's cold and rainy.

SPEAKER_01 (10:52):
Well, I don't know if you guys can tell.
This is gross.
Gross out today.
To the point where I had to weara hoodie.

SPEAKER_02 (11:07):
Blue Burberry Drip.
If you're a cop, how manypeople's rights do you violate?
None.
Actually, if you watch our page,we call out police that violate
rights, and we also show copsthat do really good work.
So but I appreciate the comment,sir.
What about hugging an on-dutyofficer?

(11:27):
I don't have hugs, they aregreat.
I have no problem with hugs.
Hugs, handshakes, elbow bumps,fist bumps.
Whatever.
I'm all for all of it.
If you want to shake my hand,assuming your your hand's not
disgustingly gross looking, I'mgonna use hand sanitizer

(11:48):
immediately after anyway, sodon't be offended.
But yeah, I'll shake your hand.
Michael T, who cares where hecommutes from as long as he's
available to do the job.
Agreed.
Again, guys, when serious shitgoes down, let's say it's a
hostage, you know, or a bankrobbery, the most serious of
stuff.
Chief's not there.

(12:10):
The chief is just made aware ofwhat's going on, and usually,
because of technology now, youcan keep them uh updated
instantly, almost instantly.
Raven Ply, what is the ratio ofcorrupt cops, would you say?
I have no idea.
Because if I see a corrupt cop,I'll turn them in or bust them

(12:32):
myself.
I hope that answers yourquestion.
No idea.
And and most of the time, onvideos that I've seen of corrupt
cops, they've been either firedor charged.
So guess it depends on yourdefinition of what a corrupt cop
is.
Is it a crap a cop that screwsup?

(12:54):
Is it a cop that's on the take?
Taking money.
I mean, it's all differenttypes.
Brett McClendon.
McClendon, let me say thatright.
Had to go into an accident sceneyesterday right after driving
back from Colorado.
Introduced some troofers to thechannel.
Ah, thanks, buddy.
Appreciate it.

(13:15):
Blue Shield tactical.
Commuting from another state isperfectly acceptable if the
employer is aware and has agreedto it.
Fair.
And when someone is hired underthose conditions, it means the
commute is part of thearrangement.
That is also true.
And that's something that hasn'tbeen disclosed, that I've seen
yet.
So that is a very fair argument.

(13:36):
Like where I'm at, the the ruleis I think you have to live
within 50 miles.
I think that's part of ourgeneral orders.
Or within an hour of driving,something like that.
I can't remember.
As a police officer.
And it changes as you level up,I think.
I never really worry about it.

(13:57):
I'm about 15 minutes from work.
Always.
I shouldn't say always.
I mean when is the day that Igotta work?
The word corrupt gets mistreateda lot in modern times as tasker
66.
Corrupt means abuse their power.
Okay.

(14:19):
Um if I would be a fair guess,it'd say about 10% abuse their
power.
I don't know.
It's okay.
Raven, let me kind of put wheremy mind's going in perspective.
For me to give you a fair numberon that, I would have to know

(14:42):
all 18,000 police jurisdictionsin the nation have some fair
statistical significant numberof me having experience with all
of those jurisdictions, which Idon't.
I've got I've got about 15police departments that I can
just think of off the top of myhead.

(15:06):
And if you compare that to the750,000-ish approximate cops
that are in the nation, for meto say that I would have a fair
grasp at how many cops abusetheir power knowingly or
unknowingly, versus that750,000, I know a small
fraction.
I don't even think I even know1%.

(15:27):
I think I know less than 1% ofpolice.
So when people jump on and theystart complaining that they all
cops do this, all firefightersdo that, or all you're being
disingenuous because you can'tpossibly have that many
encounters with police.
I'm a cop and I don't have thatmany encounters.
So for people to come out andthrow out these very bold

(15:52):
statements, I don't think thatthat's I don't think that that's
fair.
I don't think that's genuine.
I think uh it's more emotionalthan being you know objective
and reasonable.
But yeah, that's how I look atthat.
You're welcome.
He said thanks for answering myquestion.
Yeah.
But that 10%, I guess, is justgoing off of the statistics of

(16:16):
how many videos and stuff I'veseen where I think that the cop
was absolutely abusing theirpower.
And a lot of times I think it'sa training issue, and that's
kind of why we started a page.
Is it's training.
Usually it comes down totraining.
You get like a common one, copsthink because they're called to
the scene that theyautomatically have a right to
somebody's ID.

(16:37):
It's not true, but that's atraining issue.
That's not somebody going outand intentionally, in my
opinion, intentionally abusingtheir power.
I think it's them going out andsomebody ahead of them, an FTO
or something, told them, like,no, no, this is legal because we
got called here and they weren'ttrained properly, and then that
just has a snowball effect at adepartment.

(16:57):
So it's funny, we get a lot morepeople from YouTube than we do
on Instagram, and Instagram hasway more followers.
Crazy.
I guess I just don't understandhow the live stuff works fully
on Instagram because I don't useit that much.
I see emt badge 502 is in thehouse.
He said you're but uh guys, makesure if you guys don't know uh

(17:21):
EMT 502, I'm sorry, EMT badge502, go to his page, one of my
buddies.
Great, he's funny, he's just afunny dude, knows the shit.
He is an actual EMT, he's adispatcher as well.
He knows all of that stuff onthat side of the house for first
responders.
So hoping to get him on some ofour shows that we plan on making

(17:42):
here.
Uh Tasker66 said, to be fair,most uh most of videos of cops
are bad in nature.
This type of video getsattention, but in the mindset
that there are a lot of bad copscaused staying silent by abuse
of power leads also to a badcop.
Yeah.
Um I I think there's peopledon't understand like a lot of

(18:05):
the bad cops stuff that you see,and you're like, all those cops
stood by and did nothing.
Something usually, if it's bad,will end up happening after the
fact.
It's not that the cops didn'tpeople want the cops to do
something right then and there,and they do something
afterwards.
So it's just a matter ofpatience and perspective.

(18:30):
People want instant justiceright then and there, and that's
not always the case.
Um in theory, it is stillabusing power by the trainer, if
not the trainee.
Trainer is a power position andshould not be taken so lightly.
Agreed.
Training the the trainer, yougotta remember, some people just
get stuck.

(18:50):
They get volunteer, hey, you'vegot the most experience, you're
training this new guy.
So imagine the type of productyou're gonna get with a cynical,
disgruntled person that's got totrain a new guy that he didn't
want to train.
That happens a lot.
Lennon, Lennon, 2106.

(19:11):
Are you gonna answer my questiontoday or are you gonna dodge
them as usual because you'restill in service?
I don't what question did youhave?
I I must not have seen it.
I'm sorry.
Send it again, Lennon.
Lennon.
I can't say your name, dude.
I'm gonna call you Lenny.
Lenny, send it.
Let me go back and see if I canfind it.

(19:32):
Blue Shield Tactical said apolice department reflects the
character of the community itserves.
If corruption is widespreadamong its officers, it points to
a deeper societal issue, onethat requires serious attention.
I agree.
I agree.
I mean, if you look at no, youknow, no disrespect to New

(19:53):
Orleans, but if you lookhistorically at New Orleans,
they weren't supported.
Um widespread corruption, youknow, for the longest time to
where they got put under aconsent decree.
Um, so yeah, I think that goesright to what he's saying.

(20:13):
And Lenny, I don't dodgequestions, so nice try.
One of the things is those I'mwatching two different chats, so
it's hard for me to keep up.
Escapist said that's a finemustache, but not as nice as my
wife's.

(20:34):
Joe Mann said some stupid shit.
I'm not gonna read it.
Have a topic in mind for yourpodcast if you're interested.
I'm always interested insuggestions.
Come on, man, send it.
Bikes and Bullets said goodmorning.

(20:54):
Two cops, one donut, everyone,morning.
Wade Lucero's in the house, oneof my guys.
He'll throw out some goodquestions for sure.
He said, Hello, Sergeant Wavesaid, Hope y'all are having a
blessed day.
I'm energizing up with thisbang.
I'm getting my breakfast in withthis protein bar, cookies and

(21:17):
cream.
And we're talking about a cheapcommuting from California to his
home in Idaho, I think.
Um King Pomegranate.
What kind of oversight is therefor training new officers in
your experience?

(21:37):
Um, and what we need to changein that respect.
Okay, so where I'm at is a greatprogram.
We actually have the old schoolway used to be called the rookie
book, and have all these littlechecklist items that you're
supposed to hit.
That was okay, but now weactually have an FTO program
where the FTO goes through hisown training to learn how to be

(22:00):
an FTO.
Then we have a computer programthat not just it's not just a
book where you have to hand fillit out anymore.
Now you can actually type outfull-fledged thoughts.
So what's really important isfor FTOs to give feedback.
And if there's a specific call,they can get as detailed as they

(22:20):
want.
So having this FTO program, Ithink was a game changer.
And then having an FTO programwhere the the you're not just
sticking somebody with a rookie,they are volunteering, so it's a
volunteer basis, and they get astipend.
So they get you get paid alittle more, um, and you get you
get some benefits for steppingup and being an FTO, which is I

(22:44):
think warranted.
Because if I'm just getting paidthe same as every other cop, and
then you're forcing me to trainsomebody, again, what type of
product are you gonna get?
But if you sweeten the deal alittle bit and you say, hey, if
you guys volunteer for this andyou go through the training, you
know, you'll get a ribbon onyour uniform, um, you'll get a
little extra pay, um, you'll beallowed to work overtime more

(23:07):
often because you're trying totrain your rookie.
Um, so things like that, Ithink, make a really good
program.
It gets the people that want todo the job doing the job, and
they get properly trained.
So I think all of that, and thenwith that electronic program,
that that software that youfollow for the FTO program, I

(23:29):
think it's really importantbecause now it's trackable
forever.
Like you how were you gonna keepan actual rookie book, the
physical copy?
Like that's gonna that's justgonna take up space, cost
taxpayer money, but that programnow we're just we're just
storing something that it's avery minimal file.

(23:53):
We're talking KBs, excuse me,it's not um, it's not like
gigabytes or anything like that.
So I think that that is reallygood.
Ben Latham, all cops will pay.
Yeah, I'll pay taxes.
So that's fair.
Pay my taxes.
Meatbook, do you understand whymost of the public don't like
police, or do you think they arewrong?
No, I get it.

(24:14):
Um, and I don't think most ofthe public doesn't like police.
I think there's a good portionthat doesn't like police, but
you don't know everybody, sothat's an impossible statistic
for you to even have that youthink most people, maybe most
people in your circle, but ifyou come out where I'm at, most
people like the cops.

(24:35):
How do I know that?
Every time I've sat down at arestaurant, people pay for your
food, or you get in a fight onthe side of the road with a bad
guy, and people jump in to help.
They don't just stand there andvideotape.
Most people where I'm at, wehave a half cent tax where I'm
at.
That gets voted on every fewyears, and that passes with like
90% approval rating.

(24:56):
It's a half cent tax, so thatgoes directly to the police.
So it just depends on yourlocation.
But if you're asking me, do Iunderstand why there are
instances where people can'tstand police?
Yes.
Look at the Sonia Massey casewith the boiling water that we
just saw.
That made me hate that guy.
You know, look at how many FirstAmendment auditors are getting

(25:19):
fucked with because they're outthere flexing their
constitutional rights and a copdoesn't know his job.
Doesn't understand.
And he goes out and violatesthat person's rights.
So, yes, I understand there arethere are things that again,
it's it's ignorance on bothsides because there's cops that
they think they know the law andthey don't.

(25:41):
It's their egos.
Egos is a big problem.
And it doesn't help that theonly time you really watch it,
you see any cop videos is badstuff, not good stuff.
So we don't do enough as societyto support the good stuff that

(26:01):
police are doing.
Dak Tester, he said, we all hateseeing in our rear view mirror.
Yeah, I do too.
I can't tell you how many timesI've been driving down the
freeway.
I'll be doing the speed limit,which most of the time I'm not,
but I'll be doing the speedlimit and I'll see a cop and I
freak out.
It's it never goes away.
Even when you're a cop, it nevergoes away.

(26:23):
I'm looking for Lenny'squestion, by the way.
But he hasn't he hasn't said it.
Want to make sure I don'tforget.
Nina Sandra said, I would bethinking it would be against the
department of policy.
It doesn't make sense.
We hate seeing uh uh Wade saidthat's why we we are here meet

(26:45):
loaf I am team citizen and Eric.
I butt heads, but we are trying.
Yeah, you just gotta have thediscussions.
The problem is, and one of thereasons we started this platform
is how often does anybody reallyget to sit down and talk to a
cop and ask questions?
Not too often.
And then you got to get a copthat has the experience to do
so.
Because if you get a guy that'sbeen on the job five years,

(27:07):
you're only gonna get thatfive-year perspective.
I've been on the job 20 years,I'm a military cop, I'm a
municipal cop.
I've been an instructor, I'vegot my master's degree in
criminology and criminaljustice.
Um, I'm on the NationalReal-Time Crime Center
Association as an executiveboard member.
So I'm on the technology side aswell.
This isn't a a brag.

(27:27):
I'm just giving you myexperience so you can understand
where I'm coming from.
I was an academy instructor.
I'm a big proponent that allcops should be a minimum blue
belt in grappling.
Uh I I favor Brazilian jujitsu,but which I'm gonna be a
lifelong purple belt.
I just can't dedicate the timeto get a brown and black belt.

(27:48):
The old words of wisdom in injujitsu is when you become a
purple belt, you know all themoves, you just gotta you just
gotta sit down and stayconsistent and take all those
tools and learn how to fine-tuneyour game to get brown and black
belt.
I don't have that time, but Idon't have that kind of time

(28:09):
anymore.
So OG said, I don't need towatch cops to speak of how
poorly they've spoken to andtreated me.
Well, that's your experience.
Again, your experience doesn'tmean that it's everybody's.
Um, bikes and boats.
Do you agree that American copsshould train in foreign

(28:31):
countries?
I think we can learn fromeverybody.
I think we can learn fromeverybody.
Greg O'Connor, you're an AirForce cop, claiming military is
a bit of a stress.
Fair.
Fair.
Um, OG, my whole life I've runinto many tyrant trash.

(28:53):
Okay.
Now, OG, I'm gonna ask you aquestion that only you can
answer, and only you can betruthful to yourself.
But have you brought any of thatattention to yourself?
I don't know you, so I'm justI'm just curious.
Self uh self-assessment time,can you honestly say that you
never brought any of the it'sjust people jumping up and

(29:15):
messing with you?
Just curious.
Um tasker, what are your viewson police unions?
Hate them.
Should not be a thing.
Police should not have a union.
I like associations.
I think you should have a voicethat represents the wants and
needs of the officers.
But I don't uh I'm not a justnot my thing.

(29:38):
I don't not a big fan of unions,period.
I think they I grew up in Flint,y'all.
So unions were a thing, and Iwatched people abuse the hell at
a GM through their unions bystriking all the time and doing
that sort of thing.
Um just not a big fan.

(30:00):
I think they have a place, justlike anybody.
I think that I think that Idon't like I like the
associations.
Again, an association doesn'thold power.
They just they're a voice.
And I think you need a voice,but no power.
Wade said, I grew up hatingcops, been brutalized, but when

(30:20):
you research a lot, of blamegoes to city council and mayors.
King Pomegranate said, Do youagree or disagree to get
promoted to sergeant or higher?
You should need a degree incriminology or law.
I disagree.
As somebody who has a dualmaster's, I can tell you that my
degree has not helped me inpolicing.

(30:45):
Not in a significant way.
So I disagree.
Thoughts on fraternal order ofpolice.
Um, so I was a part of the FOPwhen I was a cop in Michigan.
Never had to use them, never wasuh member in any.
I I can't really, I don't havethe experience to say my

(31:06):
thoughts on them.
I just I can tell you the onlyunion in policing that I've ever
really known anything about orseen that I just think they hold
too much power, that's NYPD.
Um living out of jurisdiction,can sheriff do it since they are

(31:28):
elected?
I don't know.
That's a good question.
Probably not.
I would assume that a I wouldassume that a sheriff can.
But uh never been a sheriff, soI don't know.
Um Myra said, I think you'reright.
It's very individualized.
I personally like seeing highwayand state police when I'm
driving.
Makes me feel safe.
Same for transit police.

(31:53):
Jasmore said, I've met youbefore.
You are one of the nicest copsI've ever met.
Oh, thanks.
Very sweet of you.
I guess that's just likeanybody.
It depends on the mood you catchme in.
Official Nathan Sturman said,Hey Eric, what's up?
I'm Nathan, huge fan of you.

(32:14):
Hey, thanks, buddy.
I appreciate that.
Um, Craig Folcombe said, Idisagree in a sense with the
degrees not helping.
I believe your degrees give youa different perspective, which
helps lead us.
Yes, yes.
Degree, and I've preached thatfor a long time.
I guess I should have clarified.
But as far as it degrees do helpyou in perspective.

(32:36):
Um, I learned a lot onperspective from my fellow
classmates because they werefrom all over the nation.
Uh from a master's, mybachelor's didn't really give me
much perspective at all.
Um but yes, it does give youperspective, but when it comes
down to sit to sit down anddoing the job, again, I my

(33:00):
degree does not I don't show upand become a sergeant for my
guys and go, you know what, I'llremember from this class, you
know, that this book said this,and I'll tell you the biggest
thing that my criminology sidehelped me is look through
bullshit on statistics.
Like when I see a statisticalreport or research, I can see

(33:20):
that.
Only want to see blueberries andcherries in my fridge.
Yeah, I'm with you.
Duck Ninja Dad said, hey, hey.
I said thank you for answeringmy question, no problem.
Um yeah, if you guys are uh ifyou guys are wanting to support

(33:43):
the page, what we do.
This is just a bonus thing thatI'm doing right now.
Normally we do a regular livelive stream every Monday, Monday
night.
Um, we we review body camfootage.
We give you the perspective ofhow we would handle the call as
it's happening versus watching avideo then going back and Monday
morning quarterbacking it.
It's just a unique way.

(34:05):
Um typically we'll have aspecial guest.
Um we'll we'll go over questionsand answers with them at the
beginning, and then uh thesecond half of the show is the
body cam review stuff.
So if you guys are everinterested in that, we don't do
it on Instagram becauseInstagram is a vertical platform
where YouTube, Facebook, andLinkedIn uh we get more bang for

(34:25):
our book uh on there.
And I work a full-time job as acop and I'm still in the
military, and I'm a dad, so wecan only do it about once a
week.
My kids are all they'reteenagers, so they're sleeping
or being bums, and my wife's atwork, so I'm jumping online just
to pass the morning, plus it'sraining.

(34:48):
Dead legs on, he says, Alohakids.
Tasker 66.
I'm wondering how fusion centersare helping or hurting people.
I never heard a case where copsget info from fusion centers to
help their cases.
I'm thinking I'm struggling totake you seriously with Tom
Selling.
What's the head?
I don't blame anybody.

(35:09):
Oh, hi, puppy.

SPEAKER_04 (35:10):
You guys want to see my my little girl?
Oh, there she is.
What are you doing?
What are you doing, little girl?
Hi.
Oh um.

SPEAKER_02 (35:25):
What was the question?
The fusion center.
Um, so fusion centers are a hugehelp.
Um, for those that don't know,fusion centers are kind of like
your your homeland security,anti-terrorism, domestic
terrorism center.
So what it really depends on isthe up channeling and down
channeling of intelligence basedon information that your state

(35:47):
and local levels are getting,and and then what the FBI and um
other federal agencies may begetting.
They should be puttingeverything into that fusion
center, is why they call it afusion center.
Um as far as the informationgoing, um a lot of times it's
more of a security thing than itis for cases that as a as a

(36:12):
street level local level cop,that's how I see it.
But as far as solving cases forhigher up people than than the
street level guys, yeah, I don'tknow.
I don't have the experience.
I I've heard of a lot of goodwork they've done and helped
solve, but that's just one smalllittle sliver of my experience

(36:35):
compared to the whole rest ofthe nation.
So I don't know.
In my experience, yes, they'vebeen great.
Um, why do you put cop inmilitary before dad?
That's just the order I set itin, bro.
It's always being a dad first.
Don't read too deep into that.

(36:55):
We're out in here talking copstuff, so I said that first.
Andy Fletcher's in the house.
What's up?
He goes, You just stumbled uponthis.
Yeah, it was just an impromptu.
I'm bored.
Trying to answer y'all'squestions today.
We're talking about um the wholething that stemmed doing this

(37:18):
was that chief that uh isdriving commuting from I think
Utah or Idaho to California, andpeople are throwing a fit like
it's the first they've everheard of something like this.
I promise you, it's not new.
Um, I guess the big thing withit is as long as the the
department was aware of it, thethe powers that be, the mayor or

(37:40):
whoever, I don't see the issue.
Like where I'm at, I could neverdo that.
It's it's against our generalorders.
So it's written into the rules,you can't do that.
Marine Blood's in the house.
Says hi, Andy, King PomegranateDuck Ninja.
He's saying hi to everybody.

(38:03):
Let me go over here to Instagramreal quick, make sure I didn't
mean uh Rich, oh, Rich Kramer inthe house.
He said, Great meeting you a fewweeks ago.
Um, yeah, Rich has got, youknow, Rich, if you look at his
profile, you you you look athim, you be like, that guy's
that guy look he looks he lookslike a mean marine.
That's what he looks like.

(38:24):
That dude's got the uh theheart, the size of Texas.
He is out trying to do greatthings for police officers'
mental health awareness.
I love it.
So really good stuff.
Brett McClendon said, missed afew lives.
I need to get on YouTube andcatch up, catching up on
football currently.

(38:45):
Yep.
Any squirrels left?
Not a lot.
There's two that I got twosquirrels that like to run back
and forth on the electric lineon the back of the yard.
I leave them be.
Right now, my idiot dogs areeating all my house is
surrounded by acorn trees.
I don't know if you guys can seethem.

(39:06):
Those are all acorn trees, andthey like to dump acorns all
over, and my dogs eat them, andthey poop 18 times more a day
than they do when these acornsaren't falling.
Now, this is where I get intotraining, guys.
The reason that I don't justunload every time an acorn falls

(39:28):
is because I've I'veindoctrinated myself with
training with these acornsfalling.
Oh man.
Sorry, couldn't resist the joke.
Tasker66 said the issues.
I think the powers that bearen't aware.
According to a fire inspector,he couldn't enter a room and
inspect it.
And I'm assuming that makes itan unofficial case.

(39:51):
I don't know.
Acorn's the new shot timer.
Yeah, where is Acorn Magnum?
He ain't on today.
Gina Maria in the house.
Um bikes and bullets.
Thoughts on Dominic Izzo on CopTalk.
I love Dominic.
We're boys.
I I've text back and forth withhim.

(40:13):
He's a good dude.
I think his heart's in the rightplace.
He speaks way, way, waydifferent than I ever would.
Um and some of his takes onthings I I don't agree with.
But uh overall, I think I Itruly think Izzo wants to
improve policing.
Um, I think he was a good copwhen he was a cop.

(40:33):
He knows he knows the job.
But yeah, I I like Dominic.
He's like I said, he just he'sthat shock jock style.
Uh that's not me.
I'm uh educator.
I want to I want to discuss, Iwant to bring up topics and see
what your guys' views are onthem.

(40:53):
Wade said Dom was on fireyesterday.
I didn't catch it.
I didn't I didn't I don't get achance to see all this stuff,
but yeah, never had a problemwith Dom.
Shit, he's called me out a fewtimes, but this is the type of
guy he is.
He texts me and goes, hey, hegoes, um he's like, I'm gonna
get in your shit on this video.
He's like, but I just want tolet you know.
I'm like, okay, what's yourpoint of view?

(41:14):
And he tells me, he goes, youknow what?
Yeah, actually, you got a goodpoint.
Yeah, but you know, he's notasking my permission, but he is
giving me the respect to let meknow that he was gonna do it.
And when he said it, I actuallykind of agreed with him.
So uh joke, what number are copsafraid of?
No.

(41:35):
What number are cops afraid of?
Craig Holcomb, I'll trade myannoying ass pear tree for
either, Andy.
Yeah, we I had a pecan tree, uhpecan tree.

(41:57):
I don't know why I said it likethat.
A pecan tree in our yard, my oldhouse.
Such a dirty tree.
Uh and I don't eat pecans, sowasn't a fan.
We got rid of it.
It wasn't huge, but it wasgrowing into the fence and
wrecking the fence too.
1983 civil lawsuit.
That's the year I was born, bythe way.

(42:18):
Uh oh, looking over BrettMcClennan, dumping acorns,
dumping mags.
Yep.
But yeah, if you guys want tohelp support the show, please
just hit that like and follow.

(42:39):
I'm not asking for your money,but there are places to donate
if you want to do that too.
Talking tech, I heart you.
Aww.
Thank you.
I don't know if he's talking tome or somebody in the chat, but
I'm gonna take it like he'stalking to me.
Guys, this is your chance to askquestions to a cop, by the way.

(43:01):
So feel free.
As much as I love the sideconversations and reading them.
Andy Fletcher said, Mine'skilled the neighbor's power
three times.
Uh Drew Sean Parkins said, Whathood you from and what set you
claim?
I'm from Flint, bro.
Uh, so I was with the ElmCiders, if you want my set.

(43:30):
But uh yeah, grew up on ElmStreet.
Oh, Nana's in the background.
Hi, Nana.
She's on her smoke break.
Yeah, if you know Flint,Michigan, that's where I'm
originally from.
Live down in Texas now, NorthTexas.

(43:51):
Hey, he's the talking Texan.
You're alpha74M said, hi, I justwant to ask what's your personal
favorite side item for carry.
Um, for for work is my Glock,and that's usually what I carry
a Glock everywhere.
Um, what I want is a staccato.

(44:12):
I can't afford one.
Oh, Drushon's from Lansing.
That means he's a MichiganSpartans fan.
I'm not a Spartan.
As you can see, the blue andyellow right now.
That's the reason I got thisshirt, even though it's not a
Wolverine shirt.
Eric drank a lot of water andwas dropped on his head a few
times growing up.

(44:33):
Drushon, yeah.
I am a police officer, sir.
I was a cop up in Saginaw,Michigan for a little bit, and
then uh came down to Texas.
Being a cop is way better inTexas than it was in Michigan, I
promise.
I'm dropping protein bar allover them.

(44:55):
Allison Wonderland.
Wow, you're from Flint.
It was awful about what they didto the people out there.

SPEAKER_04 (45:01):
Yep.

SPEAKER_02 (45:02):
It gets worse.
All that money that they weretrying to get to fix the water,
um they fixed the pipes out inthe streets, but they wouldn't
fix the pipes that led from thestreets to the house, even
though the city's corrupt ass isthe ones that made that happen.

SPEAKER_01 (45:20):
So if anybody knows Flint, it's just a it's just a
bed of corruption.

SPEAKER_02 (45:30):
It's uh no nothing but failure since the plants all
closed down and caused a vacuumof crime.
So these poor people, they don'thave the money to get that pipe
fixed that leads from the houseto the street.
So there's still people boilingwater to this day.

(45:53):
To this day.
Gary Lynn said, hey Flint, I'mfrom Eaton Rapids.
What's up, man?
How far from home was thedeterred terror attack?

SPEAKER_01 (46:08):
It was right in my home city, bro.
Obviously, I don't say what cityit is.

SPEAKER_02 (46:20):
What's the name of the firearm that you can't
afford?
I want to research it.
It's the staccato, the staccatoP and then the staccato CS, I
think it's called.
Those are the two I want.
Do you have body Marine Blood?
Do you have body cam footage youwant the guys to react to on our
regular live stream?
Join Discord.

(46:40):
Oh, he's not asking me.
He's throwing out Marine Blood'salways doing his job.
I love it.
Come out with your hands up anda jelly and a jelly donut.
Make me some jelly donuts.
I'm just a donut fan in general.
It's really not.
I don't I don't know if there'sbeen a donut I haven't liked.

(47:05):
He said I didn't realize itwouldn't put it as a link.
James Arnold.
Yeah, I was gonna say, I thinkyou spelled it wrong, but my
spelling is no better, so I'mnot gonna judge you, sir.
I tell you what, I've nevershot, but I think it's probably

(47:27):
better than a staccato is thethe nighthawk.
So if you guys get a chance tosee the nighthawk, that is also
another very I think that's likea$5,500 pistol.
Where the staccato is aboutthree grand.
So they're they're not cheap,guys.

(47:48):
That was on the Simpsons.
Yeah, the the news article I'msaying says it's a Milbrae
police chief.
Eamon Eamon Allen, accused ofliving at a California

(48:13):
department.
Brett McClennan said, learnedyesterday from a trooper that
there's the Taser 10s can linkto the body cams and turn all of
them on scene.
Yes, yeah.
That's not just Taser 10, Taser7 can do that.
You just need to have thecommunication stuff so that

(48:34):
works.
You can have it so your body camturns on if you have to draw
your gun.
Uh draw your taser.
Yeah, there's there's things youcan put in your holsters for
that.
Just crawl about the WadeLucero, Nighthawk,$7,500.

(48:56):
I used for competition.
Yeah, that's insane.
That's insane.
I've never shot one, but I heardthey are amazing.
You know that Kimber made aspecial Air Force version.
Yeah, I'm I'm not a Kimber fan.
Felt like they were.
They're just they're justslightly, I think Kimbers are
just slightly better than yourstock pistols.

(49:23):
Marine bloods.
Yes, Eric.
That was for the chatters, notyou.
Kylo, quit eating acorns, dude.
Both of these morons.
Had to clean more poop in thelast two days.

(49:44):
Rich Kramer said, thank you.
Anytime, brother.
Yeah.
And Rich, feel free to put thatum put you guys' program in
there.
I think it was calledLighthouse, if I remember
correctly.
I'm going off memory, so Rich, Iapologize if I get it wrong, but
feel free to link your thing inthe chat.
Marine Bloods, I would love thatkind of money.

(50:05):
Eric, I need 150%.
I can't afford one either, bro.
Trust me.
Alpha 74 said, what's your viewon the Beretta pistol as a
service sidearm?
Terrible.
I had the Beretta in the AirForce.
I hated it.
Not a fan.
I don't like the double thesingle.

(50:27):
I don't I don't like Berettas.
Accurate, it's an accurate gun.
Once you've gone Glock, it'svery hard to go back to a weapon
like that.
John Roberts is putting poopfaces out there.
Everything is junk once youshoot a Nighthawk, even some

(50:49):
atlas that are$10,000.
I bet.
I bet.
Today, whereabout?
Scream help to prove this isn'tpre-recorded.
Help.
I'm not gonna scream.
Kimber is great.
Why would this be pre-recorded?
It says live for y'all, doesn'tit?

(51:13):
Literally reading the commentsas they go, I don't know.
What do you want me to do?
Put the number 10 up.
There you go.
I don't know if that helps yousee that it's live.
Open slide pistols suck,especially for dirt.
Yeah.
Andy Fletcher, all I'm gonna sayis my Taurus didn't need a break
in time for$300.
It just ran.

(51:33):
Taurus, I've I'm with you.
I haven't heard bad things aboutTaurus.
Accuracy isn't important at all.
Okay.
Courts would disagree with you,at least from a police
perspective.
If I'm gonna fire, I need to beaccurate.

(51:54):
He said, this is live.
What time is it there?
It is 1.09 p.m.
where I'm at currently.
November 1st.
By the way, in your opinion, whyare your submachine guns faced
out of phased out of policeservice?
I didn't know they were.
I've never used a submachinegun.

(52:17):
I don't think they are phasedout in Texas.
Shit, I believe our guys havefull auto.
Our tactical units, ourspecialized units, I should say.
If you can't afford a staccato,buy a bull armory.
Well, sir, I don't know wherebull armory is made, but when
you live in Texas, you want tosupport Texas.

(52:37):
And staccato is made in Texas.
John Roberts, my birth signedthe Taurus.
Taurus makes nice triggers fortheir rifle.
Always liked it.
Rich Kreamer.
It says thanks again.
No worries, brother.
Oh, he's he's got a link upthere.
There you go.
Yeah, Lighthouse.

SPEAKER_02 (56:09):
Greenland, maybe.
Yeah, I think it is free and Ithink it is nationwide.
But I talked to those guys atIACP.
Um really liked what they had tosay.

SPEAKER_03 (56:36):
End it in Discord.
You would make me do extrasteps, wouldn't you?
Son of a bitch.
I think I think that's right.
Yep.

SPEAKER_00 (57:01):
Son is messing with my screen.

SPEAKER_02 (57:04):
Everything's um uh chemo dotson said, I see the
stash is trimmed back.
Grew mine out on a third trip toalmost had a Fu Man shoe.
Well, the stash, I promise you,is only temporary.

(57:25):
As soon as I get done with thismilitary ceremony, the beard's
coming back.
I look too much like my dadright now, which creeps me out.
Um, Wade asks, Do you know whensomeone enters the court system,
the clerk creates a bond in ourname, and that bond matures over

(57:46):
time, and the money is splitbetween the judges and DAs.
What?
I don't know what you're talkingabout.
That sounds like some sovereigncitizen lore.
Why did you post it in me?
Bro, I just saw you.
It was the first thing that wasup when I opened up Discord.
Trying to run alive right now.

(58:07):
But whining.

SPEAKER_03 (58:10):
Oh my god, the sun is getting so bright.
I have to cut this off because Ican't see.

SPEAKER_02 (58:22):
Y'all see that retired cop was arrested for
posting a meme?
What?
No, he didn't get arrested forposting a meme.
He can't get arrested forposting a meme.
Can you?

SPEAKER_03 (58:40):
Was it like a terrorist threat?

SPEAKER_02 (58:47):
Now's your chance, y'all.
I see a bunch of people joiningand not saying much on
Instagram, but feel free to askquestions.
There you go.

(59:08):
They stretched it to claim itwas a threat to a school.
You need to be perfect and doeverything correctly.
Uh so they were trying to saythat it was a threat to a
school.

(59:29):
Over a month in jail.
And did the courts uphold that?
I I can imagine that's gonna goway up the chain.
Jacked up on Mountain Dew.

SPEAKER_01 (59:51):
I just typed it into Google retired cop arrested for
a mean.

SPEAKER_02 (01:00:00):
A retired policeman.
Oh, get out of here.
These bastards are gonna make metry to pay for their article.
I'm not doing that.

(01:00:21):
NSC sheriff defends jailingliberal activists proposing a
Trump meme about a schoolshooting.
He sat in jail for more than amonth accused of threatening
mass violence.
He was 61 years old.

(01:00:41):
Even though Sheriff Nick Weemsadmits the meme does not
actually contain any threateningwords that led investigators to
think it was a real threat.
He sat in jail for more than amonth, unable to make the two
million dollar bond.
This has everything to do with aguy coming onto Perry County

(01:01:02):
page, posting this picture,leading people in our community
to believe that there was ahypothetical Perry County High
School shooting that caused fearin our community.

(01:01:30):
What's up, Vanessa?
She said good morning.
James Oliver said, Hi, how areyou?
What's up, James?
Doing well?
It was mocking Trump, is whatWade said or Andy said.
It is easy to mispost onDiscord.

(01:01:51):
Yeah, it is.
Sort of like the man that wentto jail for posting a meme for
the wrong election day.
Askers said, question, is itmore beneficial overall that the
DA get appointed than voted for?
I mean, the current system isn'tworking with so much political
stuff going on.
Yeah, I'm not a big fan.
I don't know.

(01:02:11):
I don't really have a goodanswer for that.
I see benefits to both.
I don't like the elected side ofit.
I had a chief who would goanother state around four days
per month.
The deputy chief had it undercontrol.
Over 125 swarm.

SPEAKER_03 (01:02:28):
Yeah, see?
The human species literallylosing their minds.

SPEAKER_02 (01:02:49):
John Roberts, I have to go now, brother.
Have a good day.
See you, bro.
Douglas Mackey went to jail fora meme in 2023.
That's nuts.
I sorry, I don't think thatshould ever happen.

SPEAKER_03 (01:03:05):
Free speech.
Very much for the Constitution.

SPEAKER_02 (01:03:18):
James said, I'm okay, but I was at court
yesterday.
Ooh.
For your own case or as a juror.

SPEAKER_03 (01:03:27):
You don't have to tell me.
Just being nosy.

SPEAKER_02 (01:03:37):
It's funny when I use Restream to post these lives
on YouTube and on Instagram, mytext does not go through onto
Instagram.
So I have to literally go toInstagram and type.
Restream really needs to getthat fixed.

(01:04:12):
Like I'm just curious how thatgoes.
Never really got a straightanswer from anybody before.
Paulina said, What's a typicalday for you as a cop?
So I work in a real-time crimecenter.
So a lot of times what I do is Ijust show up to work.

(01:04:32):
I got to go through all myemails.
I'm very much moreadministrative now.
Um I go through my emails, makesure there's no tasks that are
being sent to me for the day.
And then once I do that, I checkon my people, see if there's
anything they need, see ifthere's any training that they
need to get done that they'rerequired to have.

(01:04:54):
And then see if there's anyneeds that they have.
I'm always asking my guys, hey,what do you need to do your job
better?
Like, is there anything you guysneed?
If it no matter how dumb it is,usually the first thing they say
is they want a take-home car,but every cop.
Other than that, my day justconsists of overwatching, seeing

(01:05:17):
all the activity going onthroughout the city that I work
and handling um anybehind-the-scenes stuff for my
guys while they're working andhelping out patrol officers out
in the field.
Lil Lil Boost Malvo said, What'sup, brother?
I like that name.
He said, What's up, brother?

(01:05:37):
Hope all is well.
I appreciate you.
Did you see Ron Ron's Jr.
said, Did you see this video?
I have uh maybe I I have no wayduring the live to click on that
link, brother.
Sorry, I can't I can't check it.

(01:06:02):
Um Dakota Miller said, Are youone of those cops that watches
videos and sends speedingtickets to how they driver's
nose there?
So I work in a real-time crimecenter.
Let me kind of explain to youwhat that is.
I'll break down like how callswork to give you an idea.
So typically somebody calls 911,let's say somebody's breaking

(01:06:22):
into my car, that goes intodispatch, and then you'll see a
call sheet.
Uh, all the calls that are beingheld in the city.
And where I work, there's over amillion calls a year.
I work in a city that's like oneto 1.2 million people.
Uh in the, I'll just say in theNorth Texas area.
So those calls are scrubbed bymy guys.

(01:06:43):
So my guys in the real-timecrime center, they'll see that
what we would call a priorityone burglary because the victim
sees the person breaking intotheir vehicle.
So my guys will click on thatcall, they'll start looking in
the area to see if there's anycameras in the area.
They will tap into the officersresponding body cam.

(01:07:04):
Um, they will look up, you know,if there's a suspect
description, because sometimesmaybe the suspect's known.
Let's say they give a name.
So my guys are getting real-timeinformation to the officers as
they're responding.
They may launch a drone to getin the area.
Um, air one may be up, so we'llbe watching the air one footage.

(01:07:24):
The officer in the field doesn'thave that advantage.
He can't do all that stuff.
He's got to handle the callwhile he's there.
Um, so we're doing all thebackground stuff for them while
they're out there.
It increases officer safety,increases citizen safety, it
helps put a better case togetherso we're not wasting the court's
time.
Um and it helps keep the bad guysafer.

(01:07:45):
I know that sounds weird, butsometimes if we can just keep an
eye on them with like, let'ssay, a drone, we don't try to
take them down in a residentialarea where a lot of innocent
citizens may be at risk.
We may try to take them down ona public road where there's not
that many people around.
So I mean, a real-time crankcenter is very, very beneficial
to the safety and security ofeverybody.

(01:08:06):
And uh I really enjoy it.
Um, Ron said, Do you guys useFlock LPR?
Yes.
Where I'm at, we have Flock andInsight um LPRs.
They're really good, they reallyhelp you catch a lot of people
as long as you're doing it theright way.
And that's one thing I will say,our policies and procedures were

(01:08:28):
very open uh and transparentwith them, with our community,
and they support it.
We're uh Wendy Louhu asks, whatare you watching for?
We're not watching necessarily,we're responding most of the

(01:08:49):
time.
Beyond watcher programs, samewith doctors, who supervises the
profession that invented humanexperimentation?
Oh, yeah, that's a goodquestion.
James Oliver said, I gotarrested last year.
It was my first time at court.

(01:09:09):
Yeah, it can be nerve-wrecking,man.
Uh, even as a cop, I get nervousevery time I have to go to
court, like to testify or bequestioned or any of that stuff.
It's again, it's like passing acop on the freeway.
Like, I don't care.
Even if you're a cop, you puckerup and look at your speed.
You're like, what's I speeding?
Stylus said, Thank you for beinga peace officer.

(01:09:31):
Hey, not a problem.
Um, Wendy Lou Who said, It's areally important job to help the
guys in the field.
I agree.
Yeah, I agree.
Um, is it still illegal to shootdown drones and rule?
Is it still legal to shoot downdrones and rule roll areas?
I don't know.
Is that legal?
I don't know if that's legal.
It doesn't seem like it shouldbe.

(01:09:55):
Yes.
Schutzi said, didn't know thatofficers can tap into another
officer's body worn.
Yes, that is um it is again,everything is logged and audited
and tracked.
So let's say that there's anofficer out in the field and I
tap into his body camera.
That is logged.
It has to be added to what wecall the sheet, so the CAD

(01:10:18):
information, um the dispatchcall, what they're looking at on
their computer screen.
So that officer will know thatyou know officer Levine tapped
into the his body camera, andI'll list the reasons why I did
it.
Because there's very strictrules of when and how I can tap
into their cameras.
So all of that will be so thatofficer doesn't feel like he's

(01:10:39):
just being spied on.
There'll be a reason for it.
Um, and it and there's somebenefits to tapping into
people's body cameras whilethey're on a scene, especially
if they're alone.
Um, sometimes you get officersaren't answering the radio, and
then you tap into their camera,and the next thing you know,
he's rolling around on theground.
He can't get to his radio torespond.
So we've tapped in and we'rejumping on the radio.

(01:11:00):
Hey, we need officers to get tothis officer right now.
He's in a fight, he can'trespond.
So it helps with officer safetystuff.
We can be listening in on theirbody cam while it's streaming
and watching and start gettinginformation.
Like, you know, a person'sgiving them all this info and
we're typing it in and backchecking it while that officer's

(01:11:20):
out of his car because hedoesn't have the ability to do
that.
What is his department policywhere you live?
Some say within some say youhave to live within city limits.

(01:11:42):
Yeah, that that's kind of howmine is.
Like I have to live, I think,within an hour or 50 miles.
I think they it's give or take.
Wade said I lived in Texas inthe 90s.
It was legal.
My grandfather was a cop beforeI was born.
That's cool.
Wade, it depends on how highthey are.

(01:12:05):
Yeah, usually the height limiton drones, I think, is 400 feet.
Beyond Watcher program said,yeah, Axon is crazy powerful.
Yeah, Axon makes some cool shit.
I can tap in live to a bodycamera, and I can tap in live to
a drone, and I can tap in liveto your dash camera.

(01:12:29):
So, like I said, guys, this techthat we have, I know it scares
some people because they worryabout Big Brother, but it helps
hold cops accountable more.
It's a it's a I don't want tosay that's a weird concept to
think of, but if if you let themuse it, the accountability is
there more because everything istracked, logged, and audited,

(01:12:51):
and they can't it can't bealtered.
So if they do something shadywith that tech, they have to log
into it.
They've got to associatethemselves.
There's no way around it becausethey can't get in in any other
way.
So it helps us know who's usingwhat, when they used it, and why
they used it.
So do get a cop that gets alittle um goes goes corrupt, is

(01:13:16):
trying to track anex-girlfriend's new boyfriend or
whatever shenanigans they'retrying to do.
It's all logged.
So once once that becomes known,they're screwed.
As they should be.
I have.
It's pretty cool.
It is pretty cool.

(01:13:38):
Flock should be an enemy forevery citizen that value
freedom.
The possibility of abuse ismind-blowing, in my opinion.
Okay, Tasker.
Uh you let us carry a gun thatalso has the capability of being
abused.
I would say don't blame thetool, blame the person using the
tool.
And like I said, Flock has anaudit log.

(01:13:58):
So if I use it improperly, thatcan be tracked.
That's why good policy beforeuse is important.
I think the tool is too valuableto sit there and blame the tool
being an enemy of the state.
It's how you use it and thepolicies you have in place.
So, like where I'm at, the flockinformation is only kept 30 days

(01:14:21):
and then it's deleted.
So, and then every other camerawe have, I think is five days.
It's not a flock camera, likethe city cameras.
Five days.
So then that gets purged.
So I think it how you use itmatters and having good policies
and procedures in place prior togetting it.
Where I think some departmentsmess up is they get the tool,

(01:14:44):
they start using it, and thenthey're creating their policy
afterwards.
I that's bad.
I don't think you should bedoing that.
A few months back, a guy wasarrested for shooting down a
drone, but I forget theparticulars.
Dude, I'm I think anytime you'reyou're shooting into the air at

(01:15:05):
something that's not like athreat to you, like an imminent
threat of serious bodily injuryor death, yeah, I think you're
gonna get in trouble.
It just makes sense.
Uh Beyond Watch sugar programsaid, right, it's not the tool.
Same with all government.
Don't blame the government forhow people use it.
Technology has come, uh Ron ZJr.

(01:15:27):
said um technology has come along way from the days of the
VHS.
Yes, system, yes, you're right.
I remember changing tapes in theback of a police car as well.
Sir Glick's in the house.
What's up, guys?
Make sure you check out hischannel.
Officer Glick does a lot of goodstuff out there.
Uh, I believe he's out of NYPD,somewhere close to that.

SPEAKER_04 (01:15:48):
Buddy, you guys see my my big Dobie?
Who are you doing?
What are you doing?

SPEAKER_02 (01:15:54):
Oh, you're so sweet.
Oh yeah.
This is Kylo Wren.
If you guys didn't know, I'm abig Star Wars nerd.
Now you know.

SPEAKER_04 (01:16:04):
You go boy.
No?

SPEAKER_00 (01:16:10):
Look how cute he is.
Stop docking your your dog'sears, by the way.
They look so much cuter withthem ears.
Look at them ears.

SPEAKER_02 (01:16:25):
Looking your boyfriend popping the big shot
bubbles.
Your boyfriend must love yourmustache.

SPEAKER_01 (01:16:35):
Alright, you got me?

SPEAKER_02 (01:16:37):
You got me.
Oh, that's funny.
I like a good roast.
The person using the tool don'thave accountability at all.
Cop and other governmentofficials have free reign.
City, that's not true.
That's not true.
I've seen two or three peopleget fired already for abusive

(01:17:01):
tools.
Or get um days off without pay.
Just depends on what their trackrecord is.
Centurion says, drones can carryexplosives.
I don't want it anywhere near mybro.
Have you ever heard of a singledrone attack with explosives in
the US?
You cannot use that excusebecause you've watched some

(01:17:24):
Ukrainian war videos.
It's not going to hold up incourt.
How can you use a lightsaber onyour butt?
You guys need to be appropriate.
Um, any thoughts on the SeanGrayson verdict justice?
Question mark.

(01:17:44):
Which one is Sean Grayson?
I'm gonna guess that you'retalking.
I I don't know the guy's namefrom the Sonia Massey case, but
I'm gonna assume that's who thatis.

SPEAKER_00 (01:17:55):
Let me let me look it up.
I think that's I think I'm closeto that.

SPEAKER_02 (01:18:02):
Uh yeah, Sonia Mass.
Yeah, yeah, that's the samedude.
Yeah, we we covered that onlive.
I said that dude should havebeen roasted.
Um, hey, you two, quit.
Um, that guy deserves prison ahundred percent.
My whole thought process, webroke that video down live when
it first came out.

(01:18:22):
They should have never been inthe house.
She called because somebody wasallegedly trying to break into
the house.
They checked the perimeter.
It's clear that she's crazy,like almost immediately that she
has some mental health issuesgoing on, but that's not
illegal.
And you check the perimeter,you'd say, Hey, we found
nothing.
You don't need her ID, you don'tneed any of that.

(01:18:44):
And she was a frequent flyer,they'd known her, they knew who
she was.
So get out of there, leave.
Why didn't we go in the house?
There was no need.
There were so many opportunitiesto leave.
And then my other thing was isthe moment she said the rebuke
you in the name of Jesus thing,and that partner flew off the
handle, the Grayson guy flew offthe handle before the use of

(01:19:05):
force happened.
It should have been in thatpartner to tell them, hey, part,
whoa, whoa, whoa, ma'am, I'msorry, we're gonna leave.
Partner, go outside.
Like that was his opportunity tostep in, and it didn't happen.
So I I am I'm totally fine withthat dude going to prison.

(01:19:25):
I think he deserves the maxlimit uh that they can give him.
Hope that answers your question.
Thomas Jefferson said if they,the authoritarians, ever got
control of our medicine and dietand our bodies, we would become
unhealthy.
Why don't we have a medicalpolice force that investigates

(01:19:48):
doctors?
I think they do.
I don't know what they'recalled.
Some hide.
Ooh, I got the chills all of asudden.
Drones with explosives is alegitimate anti-terrorism risk.
Every military base lists, itis.

(01:20:09):
It is a threat.
I'm not disagreeing with that,but look what target you just
said.
A military target.
Not you in your backyard in themiddle of BFE.
Again, I would it be fun toshoot down drones for sure.

(01:20:29):
I'm with you.
Nix, I appreciate your work andyour opinion.
Thank you for your work.
Hey, not a problem, brother.
Um but shooting down drones,you're gonna get in trouble.
Why why risk it?

(01:20:50):
Definitely shouldn't haveentered so many things that
shouldn't have happened.
Yeah, agreed.
Shutting off body cams istechnically destruction of
evidence.
No, it's not.
It's not evidence if it's notbeing recorded.
What would be destruction ofevidence is deleting the
evidence that you have, butturning your body camera off is

(01:21:12):
not a destruction of evidence.
It's immoral and unethical.
So I don't think there's twothings on body cams.
I don't think cops should beallowed to mute them, and I
don't think they should beallowed to turn them off during
a call.

(01:21:32):
So elbows up, worshiping thefather of lies.
I don't know what the fuckyou're talking about, dude.

SPEAKER_03 (01:21:39):
So slavery was never abolished, just oh my god.
I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 (01:21:51):
Like what do you think you're going to accomplish
with what you're saying?
You're not gonna accomplishanything.
I mean, actual real discussionis where you accomplish stuff.
So saying random stuff that hasnothing to do with a law
enforcement page, by the way.
The lawsuit alone, when youshoot down a drone, it falls on

(01:22:12):
a cop's car.
Yeah.
There are medical boards thatinvestigate, but they don't
really investigate their medicalbra.
Yeah, I don't know.
You're way beyond my scope, uh,beyond watch your program.
Meatloaf in the house.
Doctors have so much power, theycould probably force us to take
an unknown AI drug, and themedical board wouldn't

(01:22:34):
comprehend this is a crime.
For my Instagram folks that arewondering where I'm reading this
stuff, I'm also on YouTube.
So uh some YouTube comments thatI'm reading.
Feel free to jump over if you'reon Instagram and you're not a
big fan of watching onInstagram, jump to our YouTube
channel.
Works as well.

(01:22:55):
Turning off body cam prior orturning body cam, turning off
body cam could be priorrestraint.

SPEAKER_03 (01:23:11):
Yeah, but it's not destruction of evidence.

SPEAKER_02 (01:23:17):
If y'all really want to talk about this medical board
stuff, I I don't know what tosay about it, to be honest.
That's not what I do.
Awareness is step one.
I agree.
Awareness is step one.
I only troll Eric Eric hismustache, United States Air
Force and his BrazilianJiu-Jitsu.

(01:23:38):
Fair enough.

SPEAKER_03 (01:23:39):
Fair enough, y'all.
We've been going for an hour anda half.
That's amazing.

SPEAKER_01 (01:23:50):
My dog's my dog's a Kool-Aid man in and out of the
doggy door.
Kyle.
What are you doing?

SPEAKER_04 (01:23:59):
What are you doing?
You oh oh thank you.
Oh, thank you.

SPEAKER_02 (01:24:07):
Wet ass time.
How bad is the food stampsituation going to get?
I don't know.
I don't.
I think it's a lot of peopletalking.
They ain't gonna do anything.
I don't think they're gonna doanything.
That's not a challenge either,so don't take it as a challenge.
I just don't think it's going tobe as big as what people are
saying.

(01:24:28):
Marines Blood said yes, there'sa lot of corruption in the
medical field.
However, this is a cop show, solet's try to keep it somewhat
law enforcement topic related.
Yeah.
Standing.
He's standing watch for me.
He's watching my six.

(01:24:52):
Um, two cops went donor.
Why don't you think turning bodycamera off is destruction of
evidence?
There should be AV evidencewhere there is none.
Because it's not.
Yes, they're if it's theirpolicy that the camera should be
on, sure.
But that's not destruction ofevidence.
There's nothing being destroyed.
It's not there.

(01:25:14):
You're talking about two totallydifferent things.
He destroyed the video that hehad already taken and went and
deleted it or whatever.
Yeah, now you've got some sortof destruction.
But turning your body camera offis not destruction of evidence.
It's just not.

(01:25:36):
That dog looks small, haven'tyou fine?
That dog's 105 pounds.
He's a big boy.
And he's abnormally tall for aDoberman.
That's the other thing.
I don't know why he's so tall.
But I've got a pointer, a Germanshort hair pointer.
I like bird dogs.

(01:25:57):
And uh she is she's probably55-65 pounds.
Not nearly as big as him, butshe is so much faster than him
and runs his ass in circles.
She's doing it right now.
I'm out in the yard.
Just he can't keep, but he getsfrustrated and he'll come over
here and he'll try to tell onher.

(01:26:17):
She won't let me catch her.
Sorry, I'm trying to catch up onthe comments here.
Medical crimes, not lawenforcement.
No, medical crimes are not notfor what I do, guy.
Like, I'm a municipal cop.
We don't deal with that stuff.

(01:26:39):
I do believe doctor crimes arefederal.
I were to guess.
Because I've never once handledany medical claim laws once,
ever.
20 years.
Is destroying the collectionfeed that would have generated
evidence, not not been cut.

(01:27:00):
No.
You're not gonna win thisargument with me.
You you could think you'reright, I'll think I'm right.
We'll just agree to disagree.
You have to actually destroysomething for it to be
destruction of evidence.
Cutting the feed is notdestruction of evidence, it's
violating policies andprocedures.

(01:27:21):
There's no law that says a cophas to keep their body camera
on.
Do I agree that it's wrong?
Yes, it's wrong.
You shouldn't be.
I just told you guys.
I think your body camera, themoment that you are dispatched

(01:27:42):
to a call and you accept thatcall, your camera should be on.
You shouldn't turn it on onceyou're on scene, you should turn
it once you've accepted thecall.
All comes in to your computer,you hit in route, you turn your
body camera on, and you head tothe call.
And you don't mute it.
So ever.
I don't think you should muteyour call.

(01:28:04):
If it needs to be um, I forgetwhat they call it, when you go
through and scrub the video totake out anything that
shouldn't, that's privacy formedia and stuff like that.
Like that's their job to mutethe camera, not the officer on
the in the field.

(01:28:27):
Running off body cam doesn'tdelete the video.
It saved when it was on, right?
Yeah, yeah, no.
Police do not have the ability.
The street cops do not have theability to delete video.
I don't think anybody has theability to delete videos
anymore.
If you have an axon platform, Idon't have experience with any

(01:28:48):
other platforms other than Axon.
Redacted, that's the word.
Thank you.
Appreciate you, brother.
They need special codes tomodify that data, and if they
do, it's logged that they did.

(01:29:08):
That makes sense.
If you smash the body cam,that's destruction.
Yeah, if you smash the body cam,yeah, that would be destruction
of evidence for sure.
However, the video is uploadedto the cloud, uh, the secured
evidence cloud anyway.
So even if you destroy thecamera, you're not getting rid
of the evidence.
But it's your intent.

(01:29:29):
If your intent was to destroythe camera to get rid of the
evidence, because you thought itwas gonna get rid of the
evidence, then you've you'vecommitted the crime.
Yeah, Wade um said, I agree,Andy.
You can have so many differentpolicies and general orders.

(01:29:51):
Yeah, you can even have generalorders that contradict each
other.
That's a real problem.
I've seen that.
I've seen that personally, evenat my own department.
Been fixed since, but um it itit really does take a special
circumstance for somebody torealize like, oh shit, there's
this general order over here andthis one over here, and they

(01:30:11):
contradict each other.
I don't think it's ever doneintentionally.
I just think you get a problem,somebody comes up with a general
order, and then later on youfind out that that general order
contradicts the current one.
Beyond said, well, it can betampering with evidence.
The audio video evidence isshorter than it should be,

(01:30:31):
therefore it was tampered with.
That's a stretch.
Because you're you have totamper with something that
exists.
If it doesn't exist, it wasagain, I don't know that that
would fit.
Who owns the video of the bodycam?

(01:30:51):
The department, the city, is itdifferent from department to
depart?
That's a good question.
I think the city owns it, nomatter what, because the police
are, you know, we're servants tothe city.
So I, you know, we always say,like, if you wreck a patrol car,
oh, you just damage cityproperty.
So to me, the evidence would becity evidence property?

SPEAKER_04 (01:31:15):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (01:31:17):
I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 (01:31:18):
Just I'm guessing.

SPEAKER_02 (01:31:23):
Paulina on Instagram said, uh, is there a punishment
for not turning your body cameraon?
Does that happen often?
Um, there is punishment.
It's a it is generally, youknow, it has levels.
If it's your first time, andsometimes you think you turned
it on.
Like you're on a hot call, itdevelops right in front of you,

(01:31:45):
you're jumping out of the car,you thought you turned it on,
um, but you don't have time tosit down and double check.
Like you're you're in the middleof shit.
It happens.
Um, I used to work atEntertainment District, a fight
would happen right in front ofyou um as you're just walking
around, and so you're trying toturn your camera on and go
handle that at the same time.
Sometimes your camera doesn'tturn on, so it just depends on
the circumstance behind it.

(01:32:06):
I I think if you're in yourpatrol car and you get
dispatched to a call, it takesyou know longer than a minute to
drive to and all that stuff,like you've got time to ensure
your camera's on.
So it may start out with averbal warning, then escalate to
a coaching, then escalate todays off, and then you know, if
it happens four times, you mightget fired.

(01:32:27):
I don't know.
I've never heard of anybody Icops.
Uh okay, let me give youperspective.
My perspective, cops feel nakedwithout their body cam.
Where the culture's change somuch that if they step out of
the office and they realize theyforgot their body camera on the
charging station or whatever,they freak out and they run back

(01:32:48):
in.
Oh man, I almost went out therewithout my body camera.
And uh they they depend on themso much.
So I think the culture is reallygood, at least where I'm at with
body cameras.
Um Tasker said a good legalquestion could be if turning off
the body camera could be seen asa Brady list or giglio

(01:33:11):
disclosure.
Yeah, that is good.
I really think if you turnedyour camera off, you better have
a damn good reason.
Um, like for us, you're you'reallowed to turn your camera off
once the call's complete.
And I've seen this happen wherethe officer is like, all right,
you go that way, you go thatway.
It was because of some verbalargument, and they're like, you

(01:33:31):
know, end recording, and theyturn their camera off, and then
all of a sudden that personturns back around and they want
to jaw at the other dude again,and their camera was off and it
misses that fight.
So it can happen.
Um, I think when they leave thecar, also if they activate the
lights.

(01:33:53):
I'm not sure what you're sayingthere, brother.
Axon has a feature that willautomatically turn them on.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yes.
Yeah, if I turn my car on tocode three and run lights and
sirens, all my cameras turn on.
So that's a thing.
If I step out of my car and thedoor opens, that'll turn the
camera on.
I'm in patrol.

SPEAKER_03 (01:34:13):
Dogs are fighting in the yard.
Play fighting.

SPEAKER_02 (01:34:24):
But yeah, it's um my dogs aren't being stupid.
They like to dig.
They're chasing a squirrel rightnow.
Marines blood said, yeah,probably great.
Yeah.
Some cops get in a hurry.
They just they turn it off, theystart to, yeah, it happens.

(01:34:44):
They they learn their lessons, Ipromise, from turning it off too
early.
One of those things that yougotta you learn over time.
You you learn better ways tooperate that camera through your
control habits.
I I would I'm to the point whereit's it's like the first

(01:35:06):
instinct I had.
I had to train myself to do it,but the moment you know, if I
look at something and it justsort of looks wonky to me, I'm
my camera's already, I'm alreadyturning my camera out.
Um have you made a podcast orvideo about a the Karen Reed

(01:35:31):
case?
I'm not sure what case that is.
Can you kind of give me a littlebrief synopsis of what that case
is?
I'm really bad with names andmemory and stuff like that,
guys.
So I'm more of a you know, takea left at the McDonald's and
then take a right.
I don't know, street names.
I don't remember artists forsongs.

(01:35:52):
I'm just like, you know, thelyrics kind of go like this.
Jonathan said, saw it back.
Where is the conversation?
Not seeing it.
We are talking about body camsright now.
Uh Ronzi Jr.
said, um, our cams activateautomatic when speeds are over
90 miles an hour.

SPEAKER_00 (01:36:11):
Addie, get out of there.

SPEAKER_02 (01:36:13):
Oh, you dummy.
She just jumped in the pool.

SPEAKER_00 (01:36:18):
Yeah, you big dummy.
She's over here panting becauseshe's been running back and
forth.

SPEAKER_02 (01:36:28):
Um, yeah, our our our cameras.
Well, if you're going 90, yeah,you're you should be running
lights and sirens anyway.
Um Beyond Watcher said, I wasthinking that an LT at the
station should be the only onewho can turn them off.
They would call in finished andthe LT would cut the feed.

(01:36:51):
Uh, that would require thattechnology isn't there yet.
Even that, that wouldn't bepossible unless you're at a
really small agency.
I mean, because you gottaremember, like where I'm at,
there's just nearly 2,000 cops.
You know, if they're all out inthe field, if if if 10 of them,
I say, are on a call, how arethey possibly going to manage

(01:37:12):
and watch all of that at thesame time?
You just don't have the manpowerfor that.
She was on trial for the deathof her police officer boyfriend.
I watched the Karen, I watchedthat Karen Reed case while
Boston cop Boston dead copcharged girlfriend with more

(01:37:35):
than iffy circumstancesevidence.
State police cop.
I don't know anything about thatone, guys.
What questions are you replyingto?
Anything police related,Jonathan?
Or military related.
Uh, I'm an Air Force cop, so ifyou got something for that, or
if you got a question, I don'tknow.

(01:37:56):
Just stay away from politics andreligion, bro.
If you stay away from those twothings, we pretty much answer
everything.
Gotta split.
Take care.
All right, Ron Z Jr.
Take it easy, brother.
Thanks for playing.

Be better, not bitter.
You should take a look at thecase news over the world.
I heard it mentioned in Europe.
Yeah, there's there's a ton ofstuff, brother.
I promise.
There's a lot of stuff thatpeople want me to look at.

(01:39:02):
Yeah, I don't think he has.
Eric, if you like, I can sendyou a podcast who did a great
breakdown of it.
Yeah, send it in Discord.
Number 19, L like yo.
Uh, did you already talk aboutthe Detroit cop?
What kind of discipline would heface?
The Detroit cop.
Is that the video that I postedwhere that vlogger was out there

(01:39:25):
with all the Detroit cops duringthe vlogger that was talking
about the dope use going on?
I think that's the one thatyou're you may be talking about
from something on YouTube.
Just need you to clarify ifthat's what you're referring to.

(01:39:49):
Treat people like ham, not spam.
I promise this normal streamslook far better than this.
Yeah, they do.
Is it coming across crappyMarines Blood?
No, the ones who showed up atthe court hearing with no oh

(01:40:12):
yeah, that yeah, I have kind ofshown a lot of Detroit stuff
lately.
So the dude that showed up withno pants.
Um people are asking, do I thinkhe should have been fired?
Do I think he should have beenheld in contempt of court?
That's for the judge to decide.
I I don't judge has discretionjust like I have discretion when
I pull someone over for atraffic offense.

(01:40:33):
I don't want other peopletelling me who I should give
breaks to, who I shouldn't givebreaks to.
That's his decision.
I'm in his shoes.
Yeah, probably gonna hold him incontempt.
I probably would.
You should know better thanthat.
It is a luxury and a freedomthat we've never had up until

(01:40:53):
COVID to be able to do courtfrom your home, and then you're
going to abuse it by being amoron and not wearing your
pants.
I bet if I hold you in contempt,you're never gonna make that
mistake again.
But I'm betting that Judge gotcaught so off guard about him
not wearing his pants, he justdidn't know how to react in that
moment, and he made a call tothe department for the fans.

(01:41:17):
So I'm pretty sure it wasprobably handled, but just the
amount of just the amount ofshit he's gonna get from his own
people.
And I did hear through thegrapevine that he got so much
shit from his people he tooktime off of work just to just
probably just to reset himself.
Um yeah, don't don'tunderestimate the power of uh

(01:41:42):
peer pressure.

SPEAKER_01 (01:41:43):
I think it has its place.

SPEAKER_02 (01:41:46):
Yeah, Andy said that was over a zoom, right?
Yeah, it was over Zoom.
Wade said I met an Air Force guyat the range.
He was security forces, heparachutes into enemy
territories and sets up landingzones and even full-size
airstrips.
What do they call those guysbesides badass?
Um, I'm trying to think of whatthat position is called.

(01:42:09):
I'm not that cool, so I don'tget to do that.
Damn, I did.
I used to know what you'retalking about.
It's not the paratroopers orparatroopers, it's not the
pararescue.
Pararescue's the medical side.
Yeah, CBs, that is different.
I think they're oh damn, whatare they called?

(01:42:34):
I can't remember.
No, that that is a position inthe Air Force.
Uh, but CBs are not.
CBs are I think that's Navy ifit makes sense.
Or maybe army, but Air Force hasa position that does it.
I just can't think of whatthey're called.

SPEAKER_03 (01:43:01):
Air Force.

(01:43:21):
I don't know.
Can't find it.

SPEAKER_02 (01:43:26):
But yeah, that is the Air Force position.
I just can't think of what it'scalled.
The chief is living in adifferent state.
How did this happen?
Combat engineer, yes, Alan Alanuh Johnny.
Alan John ace 7815.
Yeah, air combat engineer.
I think that's right.

(01:43:47):
No, because we have uh Red Horseout of Montana, where I was at
in Great Falls, that was part oftheir job.
They'd go up to forwarddeployment locations, set up the
base, set up the airstrip, doall that stuff.
That was the name of the unit.
I just don't know the name oftheir actual position, but I'm
pretty sure it's an air combatengineer.

(01:44:13):
Yeah, I tried to look it up, butGoogle was not.
I probably didn't ask thequestion very, very well, so it
didn't really give me any pointof reference.
I knew somebody in the chatwould figure.
Appreciate that.
You're the boss of Apples.

(01:44:33):
Love it.
Uh Pasker said, I say thanksagain to all my questions
answered.
Bye y'all.
Have a nice day.
Take it easy, brother.
Um, but Mama Cub, the chiefliving in a different state,
that that's not a new thing.
Firefighters do it all over theplace.
Police do it.
As long as the department isaware of it and allows it, it's

(01:44:56):
not a problem.
Especially at a chief level.
The chief is not showing up toscenes.
That most of their job can bedone from a phone or a computer.
So that's that's why we hadthat.
It alan said it's been a longtime, but I think it, I think
that's it also.
So yeah, it's that is it's not anew concept, I promise y'all.

(01:45:18):
The only time it's a problem isif they have strict rules
against it.
Like where I'm at, I have tolive within 50 miles or an hour,
I think, of our department.

SPEAKER_03 (01:45:28):
But that I knew that going into it.

SPEAKER_02 (01:45:41):
I know it looks like I've been drinking this the
whole time.
It's because I have.
I'm only about halfway down.
I just slow sip energy drinks.
I don't chug them.
Otherwise I'll be off.

SPEAKER_03 (01:45:54):
Bang's not a sponsor, I promise.
Hello, Bang.
That's your boy.
Not opposed to it.
The sun's getting bright.

SPEAKER_02 (01:46:13):
Well, it looks like the questions are slowing down.
We're almost at two hours.
Unless people have more stuffthey want to chat about.
We might wrap this one up andcall it a nice little bonus, uh,
a bonus live chat that we wereable to do.
I'm I'm curious how it looks onYouTube, because this is I did
it vertical.

(01:46:34):
I don't know if I've ever done alive vertical on YouTube.
Just wonder if the ratio showsup properly.
Gives them an excuse for workingfrom home.
Good to help keep politics outof the station.
Agreed.
Oh look, it does show up.

(01:46:54):
I guess I could have beenhighlighting comments this whole
time.

SPEAKER_01 (01:47:00):
Alright, y'all.
I think if that's all you guysgot, might end it right now and
a fun little morning.

SPEAKER_02 (01:47:11):

I love our chiefs, but I don'twant them out there.
Something said, thank you, Eric.
Uh you have done one before.
It's been a little difficult topay attention to the chat.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
