LEO Round Table with Chip DeBlock S11E111, Florida Puts The Hammer Down On Thugs Who Target Police Dogs And Horses Florida puts the hammer down on thugs who target police dogs and horses. Death of Henry Nowak overseas sparks worldwide policing debate. Florida man in G-string arrested for thrusting at doorbell camera. Naked man who assaulted multiple people fatally shot by officer. Ex-trooper sentenced in death of child during pursuit of suspect. Protecting Police Animals, Policing Under Pressure, and Use-of-Force Judgment Calls Chip DeBlock Opens LEO Roundtable In this episode of LEO Roundtable, host Chip DeBlock welcomes the panel of law enforcement professionals, including Dr. Travis Yates, retired Tulsa Police Major; Lieutenant Randy Sutton, founder of The Wounded Blue; and Officer Danny King. Chip previews the day's topics, including proposed protections for police animals, a controversial case from England, Florida indecent-exposure allegations, officer-involved shootings involving nude or mentally distressed suspects, a police workplace firearm incident, qualified immunity, and other law enforcement-related news. Senator Ashley Moody's Police Animal Protection Bill The first major discussion centers on Florida Senator Ashley Moody's proposed LEO Canine Protection Act, which would increase penalties for people who intentionally harm or kill federal police dogs or horses. Chip explains that the bill is named in honor of K-9 Leo, a fallen deputy canine from Marion County, Florida, and that a companion bill has been introduced in the House. The panel supports stronger protections for law enforcement animals and discusses how canines and horses help with apprehensions, searches, narcotics, explosives, crowd control, and public safety. Medical Transport and the Limits of Protecting K-9s Chip also notes that the bill would authorize emergency medical providers to transport injured law enforcement animals to medical facilities at their discretion. This leads into a broader discussion of how police animals are legally treated. Chip explains that while harming a K-9 can carry enhanced penalties, officers generally cannot use deadly force solely to protect a police dog because the animal is often legally treated as property. The panel discusses the tension between how officers emotionally and operationally view K-9 partners and how the law actually classifies them. England Case and Politics Over Policing Lieutenant Randy Sutton brings up a case from England involving a young white male who was stabbed and, according to Randy's description, did not receive proper help from responding police. Randy argues that the case reflects a broader problem of politics overriding policing, especially when laws or policies treat people differently based on race. The panel connects this to concerns in the United States, saying some modern policing reforms are designed more around political pressure than practical public safety. Travis Yates and Danny King broaden the discussion to officer assaults, race narratives, de-escalation training, and the effects of reform movements on policing. Florida Man in a G-String Arrested After Doorbell Camera Incident The show then shifts to a lighter but bizarre Florida story. Chip describes a 79-year-old man accused of exposing himself to neighbors and thrusting at a doorbell camera while wearing a G-string thong. According to the discussion, neighbors had complained about repeated behavior in common areas, and the man allegedly confronted a responding officer while still dressed in the G-string. The panel treats the story with humor while noting that the man faced multiple indecent-exposure and lewd-behavior charges. Louisville Police Shooting of Naked Assault Suspect The most serious use-of-force discussion involves a Louisville Metro Police shooting of a naked man who had reportedly assaulted multiple people. Chip explains that the man was not visibly armed, but was sitting in the street, showing only one hand at a time, then stood up and walked toward the officer despite repeated commands to stop and show his hands. The officer shot him, and the panel discusses whether the shooting may still be legally and tactically defensible despite the man being nude and apparently unarmed. Use-of-Force Analysis and Officer Expectations Officer Danny King emphasizes that the officer was responding to reports of violence, possible weapons, and assaults, and that the suspect closed distance while failing to comply. Travis Yates argues that police leaders and reform movements often expect officers to perform unrealistic “Superman” actions in high-stress encounters. The panel notes that if an officer already has a gun drawn and a suspect closes distance, the officer may not have time to holster and go hands-on without risking a fight over the firearm. Randy Sutton adds that drug intoxication, excited delirium-type behavior, or extreme mental crisis may be relevant factors, even if not yet confirmed. New York Trooper Sentenced After Thruway Crash The panel also discusses former New York State Trooper Christopher Baldner, who was sentenced after a 2020 Thruway crash that killed 11-year-old Monica Goods. The transcript explains that the father, Tristin Goods, had been stopped while driving at high speed, was pepper-sprayed during the encounter, then drove away. Baldner pursued and rammed the vehicle, with the second impact causing the crash that killed the child. Danny King says he is confused that the father was not charged, since he fled with his family in the car. Randy Sutton calls the outcome another example of an officer being sacrificed politically. Closing and Wounded Blue Summit The episode closes with Chip thanking the panel and sponsors. Randy Sutton also promotes The Wounded Blue's National Law Enforcement Survival Summit, scheduled for September in Las Vegas, and says Dr. Travis Yates will be one of the featured speakers. Chip ends by directing listeners back to LEO Roundtable and its sponsors, closing out another law-enforcement-focused discussion of policy, officer safety, public perception, and difficult real-world police decisions.

Have you ever made a mistake and excused the behavior by saying, “Well, I'm only human!” There is so much truth in that statement the only problem is we often do not take the time to unpack what it means to be human. My guest today is Mike Musengo. Mike is a Force Science Institute instructor and prior law enforcement SWAT Team leader. He has walked through numerous critical incidents and has had to face how human factors play into how we respond to adversity and how we heal from difficult circumstances. We cover the topics of human performance, biomechanics, learning, acquisition of new skills, attention, inattentional blindness, human errors, and human sensory systems. A recently retired Police Training Commander and Director of a mid-sized Regional Police Academy in upstate NY, Sergeant Mike Musengo has studied and implemented non-traditional and empirically supported methods of training which optimizes long term learning, retention and skill transfer into the LEO training experience. These methods coupled with his experience as an instructor in human performance factors has helped him develop training curriculum for not only the officer on the street but the trainers who are responsible for them. Mike's innovative application of scientifically supported methods of training have gained the attention, praise and application from top trainers in the profession. His focus is on how we can help each other become more competent instructors, coaches and leaders within our industry. “Our people, our vocation demand nothing short of highly skilled Professional Instructors.” Mike has also successfully completed the Certification in Force Analysis course and is a graduate of the Advanced Force Science Specialist Course. Mike is also known for his work with the Force Science Institute in many capacities including Instructor in these highly esteemed courses across the US. Mike is also a nationally recognized IADLEST Certified Instructor and considered an expert in several domains within the Law Enforcement profession.

This study describes a technique for measuring human grip forces exerted on a cylindrical object via a sensor array. Standardised resistor-based pressure sensor arrays for industrial and medical applications have been available for some time. We used a special 20 mm diameter grip rod that subjects could either move actively with their fingers in the horizontal direction or exert reactive forces against opposing forces generated in the rod by a linear motor. The sensor array film was attached to the rod by adhesive tape and covered approximately 45 cm(2) of the rod surface. The sensor density was 4/cm(2) with each sensor having a force resolution of 0.1 N. A scan across all sensors resulted in a corresponding frame containing force values at a frame repetition rate of 150/s. The force value of a given sensor was interpreted as a pixel value resulting in a false-colour image. Based on remote sensed image analysis an algorithm was developed to distinguish significant force-representing pixels from those affected by noise. This allowed tracking of the position of identified fingers in subsequent frames such that spatio-temporal grip force profiles for individual fingers could be derived. Moreover, the algorithm allowed simultaneous measurement of forces exerted without any constraints on the number of fingers or on the position of the fingers. The system is thus well suited for basic and clinical research in human physiology as well as for studies in psychophysics.
