U.S. Army veteran Brendan Jones says his dog Lucy helped him survive the stress of war during deployment in the Middle East — and he ultimately rescued her from ISIS-controlled territory and brought her home to America. Now, after a series of disputes tied to Virginia's dangerous dog laws, Lucy has been taken from Brendan and his family, sparking national attention and a growing movement online to #SaveLucy. In this emotional interview, Brendan opens up about the incidents that led to Lucy being declared a “dangerous dog,” the mistakes he says he made along the way, and why he believes compassion, grace, and common sense should prevail before it's too late.

California Supreme Court takes off warnings on citizen complaint forms. Multiple officers shot before gunman is taken out. Gunman tries a standoff with cops before being shot on video. Law Enforcement Insights: Satire, Legal Rulings, and Tactical Survival LEO Round Table: Law Enforcement Insights Analysis of the 2026-04-16 Briefing: Legal Rulings & Tactical Engagements EPISODE SUMMARY Legal Controversy & Policy The "Satire" Arrest (Hood County, TX) Navy veteran Colton Krottinger arrested for Felony Online Impersonation after posting a satirical Facebook screenshot of a political rival. "What a waste of resources... I just don't see the elements of the crime." — Jeff Weninger LAPD Complaint Form Ruling CA Supreme Court (6-1) struck down warnings on complaint forms that threatened prosecution for false reports, citing First Amendment "chilling effects." Tactical Debriefs Pueblo, CO ShootingCRITICAL Suspect fired 27 rounds from a high-powered rifle. 3 Officers injured (Head, Neck, Arm/Leg). Army Vet assisted on-scene with a CLS bag. New Orleans Gas StationRESOLVED Officer engaged an armed suspect behind a counter; suspect partially paralyzed. Discussion on "open carry" culture and employee reaction times. #TraumaKits #DroneTactics #LightDiscipline #OfficerSafety Host: Chip DeBlock | Guest: Jeff Weninger (LAPD Cmdr. Ret.) ⏱ ~45 min readLaw Enforcement Perspective This episode of the LEO Round Table features host Chip DeBlock and former LAPD Commander Jeff Weninger. They analyze the controversial felony arrest of a Texas veteran for online satire, a landmark California Supreme Court ruling on police complaint forms, and the tactical lessons learned from high-intensity shootings in Pueblo and New Orleans. The Thin Line Between Satire and Felony Impersonation The panel discussed the arrest of Colton Krottinger, a Navy veteran in Hood County, Texas, charged with felony online impersonation. Krottinger allegedly posted a satirical social media image formatted to look like a post from a rival activist supporting a specific school board candidate. While his attorney argues the post was clearly political humor and a "meme," Texas law prohibits using another's persona to harm or defraud. Jeff Weninger questioned the use of resources for such a case, noting that the elements of "harm" or "defraud" seem difficult to prove in the context of obvious political satire. Legal Spotlight: Texas Online Impersonation Case: Colton Krottinger (Hood County) Charge: 3rd Degree Felony (Online Impersonation) The Act: Creating a satirical "fake screenshot" of a rival activist. Debate: Does political humor constitute "intent to harm" under state statutes? California Supreme Court Strikes Down Complaint Warnings A major legal shift occurred as the California Supreme Court ruled 6-1 against the LAPD's use of bold warnings on citizen complaint forms. The warnings, which stated that filing a knowingly false report could lead to misdemeanor prosecution, were deemed a burden on free speech. Jeff Weninger provided an insider perspective, explaining that the LAPD historically accepts all complaints—even those that are "demonstrably false"—and rarely, if ever, pursues prosecution for false allegations. The panel expressed concern that removing these warnings might embolden individuals to file fabricated reports that can unfairly tarnish an officer's career. Tactical Analysis: The Pueblo and New Orleans Shootings The discussion turned to a violent encounter in Pueblo, Colorado, where suspect Billy Soto fired 27 rounds from a high-powered rifle, injuring three officers before being neutralized. A highlight of the incident was a military veteran who rushed to provide life-saving aid to a downed officer using a "CLS bag." Weninger emphasized the critical need for every patrol vehicle to be equipped with trauma kits. In a separate incident in New Orleans, an officer shot an armed suspect in a gas station. The panel noted the strange lack of urgency from bystanders during the encounter, speculating that "open carry" culture in Louisiana might desensitize civilians to the presence of firearms in public spaces. Critical Incident Summary: Pueblo, CO Suspect: Billy Soto (Wanted for attempted homicide). Firepower: 27 rounds fired from a rifle at responding officers. Casualties: 3 officers injured (head, neck, and limb wounds); suspect deceased. Tactical Note: Drones were utilized, but officers were cautioned against using flashlights that signal their position to the suspect. Key Data Pueblo Incident Stats: 27 shots fired by the suspect; 3 officers hospitalized and miraculously released. Scholarship Fund: Jeff Weninger is personally funding a $30,000 scholarship for the next generation of law enforcement. Judicial Ruling: The California Supreme Court decision was a 6-1 split.

Conclusion The episode underscores the increasing legal complexities surrounding police work, from the "chilling effect" of removing false-report warnings to the criminalization of online satire. Despite these challenges, the tactical bravery shown in Pueblo and the community support from veterans highlight the enduring resilience of the law enforcement profession.

Today's Headlines: Things escalated fast in Minnesota this weekend after ICE officers fatally shot 37-year-old Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse and veterans' affairs worker, during a chaotic confrontation caught on multiple videos. Witnesses say Pretti was directing traffic and filming on his phone while trying to help someone else, and that his legally owned firearm had already been taken by agents before he was tackled. Federal officials initially labeled him a “domestic terrorist,” a claim sharply contradicted by video evidence and eyewitness affidavits. The shooting has triggered a major political and legal backlash. Minnesota officials say DHS and DOJ blocked state investigators from accessing the scene, even with a warrant, and the state has filed suit to prevent the destruction of evidence. Governor Tim Walz has ordered an independent investigation into both the killing and the federal government's public statements about it. The controversy deepened after Attorney General Pam Bondi sent a letter threatening not to end federal operations in Minnesota unless the state hands over Medicaid, SNAP, and voter data and rolls back sanctuary policies—moves critics call political extortion. Meanwhile, tensions are rising nationally. Protesters braved extreme cold across Minnesota, businesses staged a general strike, and more than 60 major Minnesota-based companies urged de-escalation. Additionally, the detention of a U.S. Army veteran observing ICE activity, the assault of Rep. Maxwell Frost, a massive sewage spill in Washington, DC, and renewed debate over vaccine mandates round out a very chaotic weekend. President Trump has largely praised federal agents' actions, even as his administration faces lawsuits, congressional infighting over ICE funding, and growing international criticism ahead of the World Cup.

Seventeen-year-old Jack Moran enlisted in 1944 to help fight the Nazis, and, within his first fifteen seconds of combat, he witnessed seven fellow Soldiers die. He went on to fight in the Battle of the Bulge, chase Nazis through Germany and help liberate the Buchenwald Concentration Camp. Hosts LTG (Ret.) Leslie C. Smith and SMA (Ret.) Dan Dailey sit down with the now-99-year-old Moran to discuss his World War II experiences, how he continues to share his story with youth today, and the taste of different beers.   Guest: SSG John "Jack" Moran, U.S. Army Retired       Credits:   Episode photo and opening audio clips are courtesy of Capital Concerts.   “Bryan Cranston Tribute to WWII Veteran John ‘Jack' Moran | 2024 National Memorial Day Concert.” YouTube, May 26, 2024. https://youtu.be/GXXGD6oHsy4?si=yD8iGIzq3H3ynYCE.   Has a member of the Army positively changed your life? Now is your chance to thank them publicly with a shoutout via our Hooah Hotline and have it possibly appear on an upcoming episode of AUSA's Army Matters podcast!   AUSA's Army Matters podcast can also be heard on Wreaths Across America Radio on Monday at 8 pm Eastern  You can find Wreaths Across America Radio on the iHeart Radio app, the Audacy app, and the TuneIn app. Search the word Wreath.    Donate: If you are interested in supporting AUSA's educational programs, such as this podcast, please visit www.ausa.org/donate.

For the last four and a half years we've brought you some of the most consequential independent voices in America. Celebrities, politicians, athletes. We've covered the whole gamut. And it's all built up to our 2024 Meet The Independent Candidates Series. It's the only place in media spotlighting independent veteran candidates from around the country at all levels. It's been critical to our mission and to the independent movement. Highlighting these independents exposes them to a massive audience of like minded independent Americans. And we are honored to be that unique platform. And the candidate in this episode is one that represents the movement, the independent spirit and his community as well as anyone we've met. He's Nick Batter, independent army veteran and candidate for Nebraska's State Legislature. He's an inspiring leader we know you're going to want to hear more from. It's the latest in our ongoing and groundbreaking “Meet the Independent Candidates” series and you can only get it here. And your host Paul Rieckhoff digs in deeper to why Nebraska has become THE epicenter of the independent movement, punctuated by the massive announcement of a new poll showing Dan Osborn pulling ahead of Deb Fischer in his Nebraska Senate race we profiled in Episode 280. It's more momentum and more proof that the movement is growing. And on top of that there's been a massive spike in independent registrations in Pennsylvania this year. And that means that the 2024 Presidential election could rest in the hands of people like you. Independent Americans. Rieckhoff also hits on Zelensky's big trip to the US, a national security issue you probably haven't heard about and why Pennsylvania is seeing a unique surge in voters registering as independents. Every episode of Independent Americans is independent light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows. It's content for the 51% of Americans that now call themselves independent. Always with a unique focus on national security, foreign affairs and military and vets issues. This is another pod to help you stay vigilant. Because vigilance is the price of democracy. In these trying times especially, Independent Americans is your trusted place for independent news, politics and inspiration. -Get extra content, connect with guests, events, merch discounts and support this show that speaks truth to power by joining us on Patreon. -Check #LookForTheHelpers on Twitter.

This week on the Active Self Protection Podcast we sit down with Army Combat Veteran and self defender Zach and discuss the night he was working when a man surprised him with a gun in his face and how he responded including the terrible legal and emotional aftermath. Active Self Protection exists to help good, sane, sober, moral, prudent people in all walks of life to more effectively protect themselves and their loved ones from criminal violence. On the ASP Podcast you will hear the true stories of life or death self defense encounters from the men and women that lived them. If you are interested in the Second Amendment, self defense and defensive firearms use, martial arts or the use of less lethal tools used in the real world to defend life and family, you will find this show riveting.  Join host and career federal agent Mike Willever as he talks to real life survivors and hear their stories in depth. You'll hear about these incidents and the self defenders from well before the encounter occurred on through the legal and emotional aftermath. Music: bensound.com
