Why are martial arts becoming an ever-growing part of police work today in the United States? Dr. Jeremy Butler joins the show to discuss the benefits this type of training can bring to our officers, communities, and law enforcement agencies. Other topics discussed include defund the police, abolish the police, growing up on Chicago's south side, how Dr. Butler avoided becoming involved in gangs as a kid, and much more.

Jason Evans served as a police officer for the Grand Junction Police Department in Colorado for seven years where he spent time as a patrol officer, school resource officer, community resource officer, and firearms instructor for the department. Prior to working as a police officer, he served 10 years in the U.S. Navy as a Submarine Electrician. Jason holds a Nuclear Engineering Degree and a Master of Business Administration with an emphasis in Data Analytics. Jason is currently a project engineer at Knott Laboratory. SHOW LINKS:Police Academy Merch: PoliceAcademyPodcast.com/GSFJason Evans:jevans@knottlab.com970-732-1135https://knottlab.com/services/digital-media-forensics/https://vimeo.com/537751803Show notes:Knott Laboratory LLC is a forensic engineering and animation firm, and has created Digital Media Forensics; a new division to assist law enforcement with in-depth analysis of digital evidence. What Digital Media Forensics can do for law enforcement:Recreate crime scenes in 3DDiscover facts in a case and eliminate issuesCreate transparencyPresent the case clearly to a jury. For example, Digital Media Forensics can use video and audio evidence from: · Body worn cameras · Surveillance cameras · Patrol dashboard cameras · Cell phones · Video doorbells · Traffic cameras · Photographs from the scene · Drone footage And merge this evidence with a Point Cloud to find key factors, such as: · Positions of people, vehicles, and objects · Second-by-second timeline of events · Speed, pitch, yaw, roll, and angles of objects · Locations of evidence · Points of rest “Digital analysis at this level is a new necessity for law enforcement,” said Stanley Stoll, CEO/Principal Engineer at Knott Laboratory. “We see cases scrutinized in the media. Every detail in our work is scientifically accurate, providing that needed transparency, while clearly presenting the facts of the case.” In addition to video analysis, Knott Laboratory's Digital Media Forensics experts can use Motion Capture, Real-Time Simulation, Interactive Visualizations, and Virtual Reality to create custom case presentations. Video Evidence is objective, or is it?The viewer is not objectiveMuch of the important evidence is in the data you don't seeHow do you help remove the “perspective” of the viewer?How can agencies respond to high visibility incidents better? How long does it take so get at least a baseline understanding of what happened once you have all the video?How do agencies begin working with Knott Labs?Is this the new norm? Will we see OIS go through a review process using this tech without exception at some point in the future?

A quick update on our new merch and a word of wisdom/encouragement for those fighting the dip!

That's right, tough guys (and gals) cry too. No matter how intimidating and stone cold a cop might look like on the outside, every one of us has moments where we break down and cry or at least should. This listener-driven episode goes to the place most cops don't like to go.

Derek Chauvin has been sentenced to 22 1/2 years in prison for George Floyd's death. Is this a just punishment? Is it too lenient, too harsh, should he have been convicted at all?

PSA:Change in schedule for next two months or so: Roll calls as I can get to them Members will get all of them in full Audio only This reduces production timeOur t-shirts are in progress! Members get discountsNew tumbler is coming soon!Recent events:More states are starting to make changes to their qualified immunity lawsLooks like a dog and pony show right nowBut what is it?Qualified immunity is a type of legal immunity. “Qualified immunity balances two important interests—the need to hold public officials accountable when they exercise power irresponsibly and the need to shield officials from harassment, distraction, and liability when they perform their duties reasonably.” Pearson v. Callahan .Specifically, qualified immunity protects a government official from lawsuits alleging that the official violated a plaintiff's rights, only allowing suits where officials violated a “clearly established” statutory or constitutional right. When determining whether or not a right was “clearly established,” courts consider whether a hypothetical reasonable official would have known that the defendant’s conduct violated the plaintiff’s rights. Courts conducting this analysis apply the law that was in force at the time of the alleged violation, not the law in effect when the court considers the case.Qualified immunity is not immunity from having to pay money damages, but rather immunity from having to go through the costs of a trial at all. Accordingly, courts must resolve qualified immunity issues as early in a case as possible, preferably before discovery.Qualified immunity only applies to suits against government officials as individuals, not suits against the government for damages caused by the officials’ actions. As long as officers are protected from facing civil suits, it’s still in effectThe whole point is to keep govt officials free to do their jobs.Without this protection, cops will not be able to work. True bans of qualified immunity will render that LEO agency ineffective and defunctCitation/Book Section:Weekly wisdom: Becoming a Cop is like Taking the Red pillThe world you know is only a façadThe truth is that you are surrounded by pain, suffering, destruction, and evilYou can’t be told, you have to see it for yourselfYou can’t unsee it, you just have to decide what to do with the truthHow to decide if you should become a police officer:All I offer is the truth, nothing morePolice work will force you to see the truth about human natureIf you want to be a police officer: You should be a person who is willing to give up the comfort of the matrix Life is simple, peaceful, and safe (so you think) when you can ignore the evil lurking in every dark corner When you take the red pill, you no longer have that comfort. Now you live in the darkness too You must be willing to accept the truth, the things you find in the dark, at face value You should be a person who refuses to accept a mediocre life Do not get into it for job security, the benefits, the retirement, etc. There are plenty of other big corporation jobs and govt jobs that have that The Matrix exists to keep people comfortable and productive, to keep the sheep happyWe are LIONS, good, strong and free. The world will look to us to face the greatest of evils. Take the red pill only if you’re willing to give up your comfortable, cozy, life of a sheep. Low Rider by Spooky and Boylan

UP TO 40 YEARSthird-degree murder (HAS BEEN REINSTATED) without intent to effect the death of any person, causes the death of another by perpetrating an act eminently dangerous to others and evidencing a depraved mind, without regard for human life."“On July 15, 2017, Justine Damond (née Ruszczyk)[2] a 40-year-old Australian-American woman,[3] was fatally shot by black 33-year-old Minneapolis Police Department officer Mohamed Noor after she had called 9-1-1 to report the possible assault of a woman in an alley behind her house. Occurring weeks after a high-profile manslaughter trial acquittal in the 2016 police shooting of Philando Castile, also in the Twin Cities metro area, the shooting exacerbated existing tensions and attracted national and international press.[4]On March 20, 2018, Noor was charged with second-degree manslaughter and third-degree murder. Noor claimed self defense. Prosecutors later upgraded the charges against Noor to second-degree intentional murder. In April 2019, Noor, a Somali American, was convicted of third-degree murder and manslaughter, but acquitted of intentional second-degree murder.[5] In June 2019, Noor was sentenced to 12.5 years in prison.[6] Damond's family brought a civil lawsuit against the City of Minneapolis alleging violation of Damond's civil rights, which the city settled for US$20 million,[7] one of the largest-ever settlements in a suit involving a police killing.[6]”Damond came up to the car and the officers startled, Noor shooting her because he heard a loud noiseUsually for cases when the victim is not known by the perpetrator but the act put “others” in danger of death or serious bodily injury.UP TO 25 YEARSsecond-degree manslaughter death caused by “culpable negligence whereby the person creates an unreasonable risk and consciously takes chances of causing death or great bodily harm to another."

We’ll talk about that on the member side of the show! Christopher Martin: “Martin said he immediately believed the $20 that Floyd gave him in exchange for a pack of cigarettes was fake but accepted it, even though store policy was that the amount would be taken out of his paycheck if found to be counterfeit.Martin said he initially planned to just put the bill on his "tab" but then second-guessed himself and told a manager, who sent Martin outside to ask Floyd to return to the store.He said a manager asked another employee to call the police after Floyd and a passenger in Floyd's vehicle twice refused to go back into the store to resolve the issue.”https://www.foxnews.com/us/derek-chauvin-trial-minneapolis-store-clerk-guilt-counterfeit-bill-police-callthis is logical error but the way our society thinks todayWe are responsible for our actions and no one other than our ownGeorge Floyd is responsible for putting fentanyl and meth, for passing the bill, and for forcing himself into the ground outside the cruiserChai in is responsible for not reading the situation and changing course once Floyd stopped talkingThis store own is not responsible and should not feel guilty about anythingCitation/Book Section:Weekly wisdom: Bad leadership is everywhere.

Thanks!Michelle Curtis La Crosse, WiThe Hard Line: Are you disqualified? Look up the department’s hiring requirements and policyIf that doesn’t answer the question, call them and askIf no concrete answer, then it’s not a formal DQTats, facial hair, unique hair styles are all becoming more common and accepted.

JANUARY 6th, 2021 Washington DC will go down in infamy. Understanding what really happened in DC that day is no easy task. Many will claim to know what it was about. We call these people liars. Despite the fact that we may never know fully what happened and why, there are some truths that cannot be denied. Today we talk about those truths and what they mean for us moving forward. Initial Observations and Thoughts:This is wrong: President’s and others’ language Action by people, including SOME Trump supporters 4 People dead US Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick. Officer Sicknick, 42, died Thursday after he reportedly was bludgeoned with a fire extinguisher Wednesday when President Trump’s supporters (ny post) broke into the building in a failed attempt to block certification of President-elect Joe Biden’s victory. Ashli Babbitt, 35 14-year veteran of the US air force and of four foreign military tours, including to Iraq and Afghanistan. video from washington post: https://www.police1.com/patrol-video/articles/video-shows-lead-up-to-fatal-shooting-inside-us-capitol-cA9SwOpvdUDcFjXK/ Another adult female and two adult males died of medical emergencies 50 officers injured White dude talking about this protest might be ignored First, this is why so many people are pissed, they’ve been labeled and ignored because of their skin color Second, people, especially those in the dec party, have become COLOR BLINDHuman nature cannot be discounted here Motivating a mob of people is not that hard How many instigators does it take? We have trolls online, you think they’re not here at this rally? Both sides have had agitators impacting their political events for the worse Think about the motivations of our big enemies: China, Russia, Iran, etc. Domestic groups: Antifa, BLM, KKK, many others Theres no reason for the political right to be behind this. Dems are sitting back in joy MEDIA are drooling: “TRUMP SUPPORTERS” not rioters and looters The hypocrisy is astonishing Our enemies, foreign and domestic, are overjoyed right now.Pundits comparing the police response: Always the race card (COLOR BLIND) For how long did DC burn under the thumb of BLM? A woman was intentionally shot and killed. She was a white, 35 yo veteran. If BLM had done this, it would have been a much more dangerous affair. Look at how quickly and peacefully everyone left when the police told them to vs BLM, CHAZ/CHOP, etc.Strange things: Disclaimer: some regular people got sucked into this thing, no doubt. ANTIFA ANTIFA He’s antifa someone has to stop him Trump supported take dude down and crowd cheers This was the most raw, organic, and honest indicator to me of what the crowd’s intentions were Dude with horns on his head DEBUNKED Photos of him at a BLM rally in 2020, tats confirm its him Many people in trump gear protecting police officers Officers letting people in: Video leading up to Ashli’s death demonstrates this too: Selfies with the police inside capitalThis was not organic Pipe bombs at RNC and DNC Malatovs in a car nearby radios, ropes, glass breaking equipment Witness testimony of rioter convos talking about how to get people upset What’s the difference between this and BLM?Thanks for listening and if you want to support us in our mission to bring truth to the masses, to support our police but also our communities across the nation who are hurting, please find us, Police Academy Podcast, on Patreon and become a member for as little as $1 a week.

Goals you want to achieve, what milestones do you want to reach? Let us know on our facebook page, Parler account, or on our private members-only server via patreon.com.Collective Resolutions for America in 2021: George FloydWhen an in-custody subject goes unconscious and loses pulse, render aid. Pretty basic.Let’s “follow the science”. When someone dies who has enough fentanyl in their system to kill a horse, maybe racism didn’t kill them…Rayshard Brooks:Let’s commit to avoiding Wendy’s drive-throughs while highly intoxicated.Also don’t try to tase cops… lets do better on thatLets not glorify shitbags that victimize minorities as a living:Kenosha Wisconsin: Jacob Blake: rapist fighting with cops with a knife in his hand… This is called being a victim of stupidism, not racism.Omaha NE: James Scurlock: shot while violently assaulting (choking out) legitimate business owner and victim, Jacob Gardner. Gardner was eventually charged with manslaughter in a political lynching and committed suicide. The victim, because he was white, was not protected by the law as promised by our constitution. We can do better.Let’s give everyone a little more grace, including ourselves. We all screw up and need that from time to time. We can all do better, love more, give more, take less.

Police officers are many things. They are expected to handle all of society’s problems, without error. As this officer points out though, this is not possible, yet we are treated as if it is. When cops make a mistake, why aren’t they treated the same way doctors are when they do the same?

A little glimpse into the cop conversations taking place every day and night, cop to cop, cruiser to cruiser.Show Notes:What’s up Terence,I really fought with myself on whether or not to send an email and voice my opinion – but with America in the state that it is in, I cannot be silent. I have been listening to your podcast for years and enjoy it very much and I think you speak truth from a place of experience and high moral standards.I am a police officer in north Alabama and have been on the job since 2018 (night shift: 1900-0700); a rookie for some, but for my department, a “more senior officer” because of staffing issues. I have a bachelors in Criminal Justice and a minor in Behavioral Science.I am responding to your last episode, “BIG Media – Do They Care?.” I know you’re busy, so I’ll get straight to the question asked: What are cops talking about at work when they’re door-to-door?The conversations I’ve had with my coworkers are mostly negative and full of anger and frustration, as you can understand. It seems that everyday, a different politician, or media head, in a different city has some sort of negative opinion on police procedures or use of force (UOF). Politicians and media staff who have never been in Law Enforcement, who have never taken a college course in police procedure, and who have (most likely) never been in a fight with anyone in their life. Now this is of no surprise. We both know that many politicians and media figures will only repeat the “mantra” of the “woke.” It doesn’t matter what they truly believe as free-thinking humans. It only matters how they can virtue signal to the mindless zombies that listen / watch their program. We all know, and have seen, that when the ‘cards are down,’ they WANT the police to protect them.The statement that is said by my co-workers and I ROUTINELY is “Let those mother fuckers ride along with us for one week, and they’ll see what we do.”They’ll see the good we do.They’ll see the struggles we deal with.They’ll see the paperwork and documentation involved in the most minor of situations.They’ll see the horrific scenes WE see.They’ll see the danger which we face.They’ll see how arresting someone who doesn’t want to be arrested requires FORCE in some way, shape or form.And most importantly, they’ll see the lives we save. A LOT of them being black lives.I think frustration is the key word in all of this. Frustration at the people who call us murders and racists, while in the same breath cry out for us to come save them from evil when the reality of this world sets in; reality that manifests itself when people come from behind their keyboard. Frustration at that fact that we try to be the best public servants we can be, yet we are limited by our humanity.Something I hear often is, “The police are the most unaccountable group in the US.” This is said often because of Qualified Immunity, and because people don’t understand the case law that allows us to act in certain ways in certain situations. They don’t understand that the wording of laws and regulations are black and white, when the world is nothing but 1 million shades of gray.To this I ask, “What other profession in the world has a policy for everything you do? What other profession in the world straps cameras to your body in order to ensure your actions are within that policy. What other profession in the world straps microphones to your body to ensure that what you say is within policy? What other profession in the world double checks itself by having another camera and ANOTHER microphone in the car you drive to double check that you’re within policy? What other profession in the world exists that someone can ‘dog-cuss’ you and spit in your face, yet you must remain like a stone statue in your professionalism?”The answer is that there isn’t one. Police are the most accountable group of humans on earth – and they should be. We have the power to take someone, put them in a jail cell and take away their rights for a period of time later determined by a judge. Make no mistake, police need to be accountable for their actions. The piece of human garbage that killed George Floyd needs to be UNDER the jail. I am in no way excusing poor police conduct or insinuating that it doesn’t exist. As police officers, we can do better and we will do better as training and new skills emerge. However, the public conflates police misconduct with acceptable techniques and policy to effect an arrest / out come. They don’t understand that some things with Law Enforcement WILL not and SHOULD not change when it comes to UOF. In addition, police brutality is, statistically speaking, a NON-ISSUE when it comes to police conduct. Yet, because people feel the need to criticize the police unjustly, police will always been deemed the “bad guy.”I think the bottom line is that police will always be “the bad guy.” Because there needs to be a bad guy for some Americans. It doesn’t matter that the police don’t make the laws or make the policy. The police are the ones telling folks, “You cant do that.” And people don’t like being told what to do.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------My next point: defund the police? Go for it. In fact, I would rather the police be disbanded altogether. Because guess what? I’ll find another job – I’ll find a way to feed my family. However, you won’t find any one to come save you when someone kicks in your door at 2:00am. YOU’RE ON YOUR OWN.People don’t see the good we do. They don’t want to see the good we do. They don’t see the crime we prevent, or the lives we save. They only want to see the worst in us – because someone has to be the “boogieman.”In conclusion, I’ll end with this with a quote which becomes more and more true everyone day I put on the badge:“There is no nice way to arrest a potentially dangerous, combative suspect. The police are our bodyguards; our hired fists, batons and guns. We pay them to do the dirty work of protecting us. The work we’re too afraid, too unskilled, or too civilized to do ourselves. We expect them to keep the bad guys out of our businesses, out of our cars, out of our houses, and out of our faces. We just don’t want to see how it’s done.-Charles H.

Very basic deadly force encounter. No rational person should be looking at this as police misconduct, which says a lot about where we are today in the ole US of A.

The camaraderie between police officers is something special and unique. It is an illustration of how we can all get along while not being so damn sensitive all the time. This officer shares what that bond is like for those who’ve never experienced it.Thanks for listening and if you want to support us in our mission to bring truth to the masses, to support our police but also our communities across the nation who are hurting, please find us, police academy podcast, on Patreon and become a member for as little as $1 a week.SHOW NOTES:““Thanks for everything you do. Your no fucks given episode articulated everything I feel. Just hearing some sanity around the issues was refreshing.As far as the NYT podcast, what doesn’t seem to be talked about is that police forces are as diverse as ever, almost exactly matching the racial breakdown of the nation with Hispanics still being a bit underrepresented if I’m not mistaken (I’m a Hispanic officer from CA). If police officers were systematically racists, why the hell would there be any minority officers, period?!Along those lines, what the “woke” white liberals will never understand, is that white, black, brown, and all officers in between have a connection and a camaraderie with each other that they will never have with people of color. We see blue brothers and sisters and that connection comes from the willingness and trust we have in each other to deal with life’s worse situations. As a matter of fact, officers of all colors (in my own experience of course) are so comfortable with each other that we can openly joke about the intricacies and unique qualities about each other’s races without getting offended. An outsider might be “shocked” about the kind of jokes we can crack on each other and not get offended because we know to never cross a line of disrespect, we have thick skin, and because they will never understand the bond we have, and that we can laugh at ourselves, and the stupid shit our races do. We don’t “pity” each other like white liberal protesters do with blacks..we laugh together, cry together, bleed together, and love together. We’re not sorry because of ours or someone else’s race, WTF is that?!Don’t get me wrong...We’re not a kumbaya family who all get along all the time, on the contrary there’s some people I can’t stand at work. But at the end of the day I still love them, and I would take a bullet for them, hell even the “woke” liberals, because that is our job.”If you’d like to support Police Academy, there are 5 ways you can do so:Become a member at patreon.com/policeacademypodcast!

What actually happened to Breonna Taylor? And who is this Jake Gardner? Well, both people died in tragic ways but the difference is in the details, which you have likely yet been presented by the media. Here are the facts, they lead to the truth. Enjoy!Thanks for listening and if you want to support us in our mission to bring truth to the masses, to support our police but also our communities across the nation who are hurting, please find us, police academy podcast, on Patreon and become a member for as little as $1 a week.SHOW NOTES:Details:Taylor, 26, an emergency medical worker, was shot five times by the officers after they entered her home during a drug investigation on March 13.Police had obtained warrants for multiple locations linked to Jamarcus Glover, an alleged crack cocaine dealer. One of them included Taylor’s apartment, where she lived with her younger sister. Law enforcement believed Glover was using Taylor’s apartment as his current address and had been receiving mail and packages there.No drugs foundThis is irrelevantThe judge who signed the warrant agreed there was sufficient evidence to search the residence. This is not no the police.Glover was already in custody. The warrant was for evidence, not Glover.Taylor and her boyfriend (Kenneth Walker) we in bed watching a movie.Police knock and announce“Our intent was to give her give plenty of time to come to the door because they said she was probably there alone,” said Mattingly, who was one of the three officers who discharged their weapons inside Taylor’s home.“The Louisville police officers involved in Breonna Taylor’s shooting death ‘knocked and announced’ themselves — and did not execute a ‘no-knock warrant’ as previously believed, Kentucky’s attorney general said Wednesday,” per the New York Post. “At a press conference, AG Daniel Cameron said a neighbor corroborated cops’ claims that they knocked on Taylor’s apartment door and announced themselves as police in the early hours of March 13.”They walk down hallway toward door, gun in Walker’s hand.Police breachWalker shot Mattingly in the leg, severing his femoral artery.Says he though they were intrudersThree cops returned fire, shooting more than 20 rounds into Taylor’s apartment.Two officers involved in the shooting, Sgt. John Mattingly and Det. Myles Cosgrove, were not charged, despite FBI ballistics evidence showing that Cosgrove fired the bullet that ultimately killed Breonna Taylor. Cameron noted that, based on the evidence, Walker, not Cosgrove, fired first, setting off a tragic chain of events.“Our investigation found that Mattingly and Cosgrove were justified in their use of force after having been fired on by Kenneth Walker,”Hankinson fired for "blindly" firing 10 rounds into Taylor's apartmentOn September 23, 2020, a state grand jury indicted Hankison on three counts of wanton endangerment“A person is guilty of wanton endangerment in the first degree when, under circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life, he wantonly engages in conduct which creates a substantial danger of death or serious physical injury to another person,” the statute reads.This relates to the people in the adjacent apartment“A neighbor filed a lawsuit against the officers involved in the raid. The lawsuit claims, among other things, that a man was nearly shot, that law enforcement "spray[ed] gunfire into Chelsey Napper's apartment with a total disregard for the value of human life" and "A bullet that was shot from the defendant police officers' gun flew inches past Cody Etherton's head while he was in the hallway of Chelsey Napper's apartment". The man is unidentified; Napper is understood to be a pregnant woman and Etherton is understood to be a child.Shots:5 through a windowAt least 5 through sliding glass doorShit ton of casings outside door and in parking lotJake Gardner: Omaha Bar ownerwreck-less driving and 3rd degree assaultCCW charge was droppedJames Scurlock: guy who attacked bar ownerarrested for robbery and use of a firearm to commit a felony during a HOME INVASION where a group of black males entered the location and threatened four residents with handguns.Scurlock's charges were later amended to burglary, moving from a Class 2 to a Class 3 felony, and he was sentenced to 3-5 years in prison beginning Sept. 22nd, 2015. Scurlock served less than a year of his sentence, being released on Aug. 12th of 2016. Scurlock was also found guilty of assault and battery charges in January of 2019, for which he served one day in jail. Additionally, Scurlock plead guilty to third degree domestic assault this past February, serving a 90-day jail sentence.DA’s Statement:“I certainly understand the pain that has been brought about by the tragic loss of Ms. Taylor,” he said. “I understand that as a Black man — how painful this is, which is why it was so incredibly important to make sure that we did everything we possibly could to uncover every fact.”“Our reaction to the truth is the society we want to be,” Cameron continued. “Do we really want the truth? Or do we want a truth that fits our narrative? Do we want the facts? Are we content to blindly accept our own version of events? We, as a community, must make this decision.”“There will be celebrities, influencers, and activists who having never lived in Kentucky, will try to tell us how to feel, suggesting they understood the facts of this case and that they know our community and the commonwealth better than we do,” he concluded. “They don’t.”Do we want the truth? Or do we just want to feel justified in our childish emotional tantrums? The mainstream media keeps telling us, “it’s ok, you should be angry, the whole system is out to get you. Go ahead, smash some windows, throw a few bricks at the cops, (whisper) maybe even shoot a few. You have a right to be mad!!” BLM continues to provide false narratives absent actual facts or evidence or understanding of the law. White liberals feel guilty if they don’t go along so they do.People are dying. Good people. Innocent people on behalf of the criminals many in our society has chosen to defend.Tragedy happens. It doesn’t always have to be about race.“The truth shall set us free, and maybe that’s why so many people don’t want to find it. “Daily Wire: https://www.dailywire.com/news/kentucky-ag-breonna-taylor-warrant-was-not-no-knock-officers-justified-in-use-of-forcehttps://www.dailywire.com/news/louisville-police-officer-indicted-in-breonna-taylors-casehttps://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/local/2020/06/04/breonna-taylors-neighbor-sues-louisville-police-after-shooting/3148434001/If you’d like to support Police Academy, there are 5 ways you can do so:Become a member at patreon.com/policeacademypodcast!

Kyle Rittenhouse: Hero or villain? Just as Jacob Blake was taken from victimizer to victim in the blink of an eye, so too has a 17-year-old kid been thrown into a cast that he doesn't fit in by all the available evidence. In this episode, we talk about the video evidence, what really happened, and what it means for Kyle and those injured or killed. Hint: there's a lot of stoopid involved.

Don’t wait. These incidents are complex and take a lot of research. I’m slow to get this info out and I hate it. Members have access to short, initial-take videos on these events that I put out much closer to the actual event. Time to talk about the Kyle Rittenhouse and Co incident. Theme: JACOB GOOD, KYLE BAD, AMERICANS STOOPID Unedited Show Notes: First: Ben Shapiro For the 100th time Ben, get the facts right on Jacob Blake. He has the knife in his hand when he walks around the front of the car. He did not pick it up off the floorboard!! Ben is usually very accurate but I’ve been waiting for a correction on this mistake Initial Details of Incident: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/27/us/kyle-rittenhouse-kenosha-shooting-video.html Charges “Rittenhouse is accused of killing Anthony Huber, 26, of Silver Lake; and Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, of Kenosha. first-degree intentional homicide (a) Except as provided in sub. (2), whoever causes the death of another human being with intent to kill that person or another is guilty of a Class A felony. (2) Mitigating circumstances. The following are affirmative defenses to prosecution under this section which mitigate the offense to 2nd-degree intentional homicide under s. 940.05: (a) Adequate provocation. Death was caused under the influence of adequate provocation as defined in s. 939.44. (b) Unnecessary defensive force. Death was caused because the actor believed he or she or another was in imminent danger of death or great bodily harm and that the force used was necessary to defend the endangered person, if either belief was unreasonable. (c) Prevention of felony. Death was caused because the actor believed that the force used was necessary in the exercise of the privilege to prevent or terminate the commission of a felony, if that belief was unreasonable. (d) Coercion; necessity. Death was caused in the exercise of a privilege under s. 939.45 (1). (3) Burden of proof. When the existence of an affirmative defense under sub. (2) has been placed in issue by the trial evidence, the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the facts constituting the defense did not exist in order to sustain a finding of guilt under sub. (1). Other Charges: The Illinois teenager also faces felony charges of attempted first-degree intentional homicide and two charges of first-degree recklessly endangering safety, and a misdemeanor charge of possession of a dangerous weapon by a person under 18. All felony charges came with "use of a dangerous weapon" modifier. In both killings, video shows Rittenhouse being pursued before shots are fired. Although some claimed that Rosenbaum had thrown a weapon at Rittenhouse, the criminal complaint filed with the Kenosha County District Attorney states that he threw a plastic bag. Video shows Huber attempting to strike Rittenhouse when Huber was shot in the chest. According to a report of an autopsy, Huber's gunshot wound to his chest "perforated his heart, aorta, pulmonary artery and right lung." Rosenbaum's autopsy showed "a gunshot wound to the right groin which fractured his pelvis, a gunshot to the back which perforated his right lung and liver, a gunshot wound to the left hand, a superficial gunshot wound to his lateral left thigh, and a graze gunshot wound to the right side of his forehead." ” Journal Times People Shot: Joseph Rosenbaum, 36 Rosenbaum was found guilty of engaging in “sexual conduct with a minor” in Arizona’s Pima County in March 2002, almost two decades before his death, according to an online database of prison inmates in Arizona, via the state’s department of corrections. Per that online portal, he was sentenced to prison or parole for roughly 15 years. The state’s law defines the felony offense as “intentionally or knowingly engaging in sexual intercourse or oral sexual contact with any person who is under eighteen (18) years of age,” Anthony Huber, 26: “Anthony Huber, 26, was shot & killed in Kenosha, Wisc. at the BLM riot,” read the Twitter-based report. “He was filmed chasing down the armed teen and hitting him when he was on the ground with a skateboard. He has a criminal history that includes charges of battery & repeat domestic abuse.” “Gaige Grosskreutz, 26: The third man, who was injured but survived after losing much of his bicep, was armed with a Glock handgun- despite allegedly being prohibited from possessing firearms. Interestingly, he is reported to be affiliated with a far-left movement that some claim to be “a Marxist oriented militant group that was formed in 2016.” “Gaige Grosskreutz, 26. He’s a member of the People’s Revolution Movement,” Ngo noted. “He was filmed chasing after the teen w/a pistol. He was shot at close-range in the upper arm. He has a criminal record that includes being intoxicated & armed [with a] gun.” - The People’s Ledger At this point we don’t know fi Grosskreutz could legally possess a handgun Main Points: Anyone who calls this murder or acts like they know for sure what happened is lying to themselves or you. We have due process for this reason. Mobs are don’t decide justice. Most people have not watched all of these videos and are simply taking a stance they want to be true. I do think this is justified self defense GIVEN THE VIDEO EVIDENCE and has a 90% chance of turning out that way in court. JACOB GOOD, KYLE BAD, AMERICANS STOOPID The lifting up of Jacob Blake as a hero and vilification of Kyle Rittenhouse is truly astonishing. Blake is a career criminal, wanted for digitally raping a single black mother of three, and fought with two police officers who did everything they could to use non lethal force before resorting to deadly for all the while he was armed with a knife, which is a deadly weapon of course. Rittnehouse is a 17 year old kid with no criminal record to speak of. Yes, broke the law to openly posses the rifle used here. This is a misdemeanor gun charge and does not mean he forfeits his right to life. It also doesn’t mean he came there intending to kill people. Rittnehouse has been labeled a mass murderer by Facebook This wasn’t an active shooter situation. Look at the mob closing in on him. He came earlier in the day and was scrubbing graffiti off of defaced property. Videos of him explaining why he’s there: protect property and help injured Play EMS clip Joseph Rosenbaum was chasing Kyle down for an unknown reason Gunshot happened immediately preceding Kyle turning to shoot him He is seen in earlier videos acting extremely aggressive toward Kyle and others saying, “shoot me nigga, shoot me nigga, bust on me for real.” Play “shoot me clip” If Kyle was trying to kill people, this was stoopid. Anthony Huber was assaulting Kyle and trying to take his rifle when he was shot. If Kyle was trying to kill people, this was stoopid. Gaige Grosskreutz was closing in on Kyle after having already fired multiple times and killing Huber, with a handgun in his hand pointed toward Kyle. If Kyle was trying to kill people, this was stoopid. He should have shot Kyle. Either way, he’s only a victim of his own stoopidity. This is an obvious self defense case. I’m not saying he’ll win, but to label this anything other than someone shooting someone else in self defense is a lie. But he crossed state lines! Completely moot point. It was illegal to possess this firearm! Yes, but only because he was one year too young. Basic, low level offense that none of these protesters even knew was taking place. He came with intention to kill as part of a militia!!!! No evidence to support this whatsoever. Am I calling these poor victims; Jacob Blake, Joseph Rosenbaum, Anthony Huber, and Gaige Grosskreutz, stoopid heads!?! Why yes, yes I am. I am also calling Kyle stoopid for coming there as a 17 year old to play in a big boy’s game. His being there was stoopid, but far less stupid than the actions of the rest who got themselves shot for their very stupid decisions. These are the facts we have. You make up your own mind about the chaos in Kenosha. You’re smart enough to do that. As for me, if the prevailing belief out there is JACOB GOOD, KYLE BAD, then mine is AMERICANS STOOPID.

The actual facts on the Jacob Blake incident paint a very clear picture that looks nothing like what the mainstream media, along with Black Lives Matter and crew, are pushing. Here are the facts and what they mean along with a very unifying message from Jacob Blake’s mother.
