The host highlights the high number of police officers being shot and the lack of media coverage on the issue. The host also explores the trial of the suspect, Elias Dorsey, who was found guilty but mentally ill on charges of reckless homicide instead of murder. The host raises concerns about the leniency given to criminals compared to law enforcement officers and the impact on officer recruitment and morale. Takeaways There is a high number of police officers being shot in the line of duty, but there is a lack of media coverage on the issue. The trial of Elias Dorsey, the suspect in Officer Brianne Leath's case, resulted in a guilty but mentally ill verdict on charges of reckless homicide instead of murder. The leniency given to criminals compared to law enforcement officers raises concerns about accountability and sends a negative message to law enforcement. The impact of these cases on officer recruitment and morale is significant, as it becomes harder to attract people to become police officers. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ksamspeakspodcast/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ksamspeakspodcast/support

Samuel is a criminal defense attorney where he's over the federal & state criminal law division at the Milledge Law Firm.

He also makes a point of how the criminal justice system has just been a criminal system without the justice and how can that issue be fixed. The last point Sam touches on is how law enforcement and the community needs to repair the bridge between both side rather than "rebuilding" the bridge that is already there.  Motto: We are not trying to change the entire world, but reach the heart of one person at a time.

    In Episode 4, we discuss the lack of respect for others and how it eventually plays into the lack of respect for authority. In discussion we asked why the lost of respect and how do we obtain it back. With the term "accountability" coming up quite often in today's incidents involving law enforcement, we discuss who all should be held accountable for these particular incidents and why the public do not hold the suspect/victim accountable for their actions rather than just wanting to hold law enforcement accountable.
