Chaz and AJ first asked former Hartford Police detective Brian Foley about the Karen Read case weeks ago, but he was unfamiliar. Today, he was back on the phone after getting caught up, and had a LOT to say about the case details, court proceedings, and more.   Photo credit: Reuters

Chaz and AJ had Brian Foley, former Hartford Police detective on the phone this morning before and after his visit to Fox New. Brian was there to talk about the details of the manhunt for the shooter that killed the CEO of United HealthCare. However, he noticed a lot of additional police and security in the building, since Melania was on the show right before his segment. Photo courtesy: Reuters 

Chaz and AJ were talking about the viral videos of the Montgomery melee on the dock, which everyone has seen except for Chaz. The Tribe called in their stories of having public fights, including on the softball field, and a bunch of drunken sailors in Gitmo. (0:00) Live Nation's Jimmy Koplik was on to answer questions Chaz took from Tribe members at the Jelly Roll concert last night in Bridgeport. Plus, the death of The Band's Robbie Robertson, and some personal stories Jimmy had from working with him for the legendary Watkins Glen festival. (14:57) Dumb Ass News - The Glastonbury Tickler is not a new case, but one that Chaz and AJ have only recently become aware of. Brian Foley, former detective with the Hartford Police was on (reluctantly) to discuss what he remembers of the case. (26:31) Mayor Justin Ellicker from New Haven was on to assist in Stump the Chumps. The category was songs from the 1990's, and the Tribe was asked to hum the tune on the phone.

Movie guy Joe Meyers has nothing but excellent things to say about John Wick 4. Joe called in to talk to Chaz and AJ about the non-stop action, which feels fresh even over a longer runtime. He insists it is best viewed in the theater. (0:00) Comedian Matt Lopes is a self-proclaimed "movie buff," and yet has never seen a movie made before 1995. Chaz and AJ invited him in studio at 6 AM to watch "The Breakfast Club" for the first time, and then share his immediate review live on the air. Does it hold up to today's standards? Plus, AJ samples some of Vince Berry's homemade hot sauce, by dunking an Oreo cookie in and taking a bite. (12:23) Former Hartford Police Detective Brian Foley was extremely impressed with the swift and decisive action taken by Nashville police in subduing the school shooter. Brian is also the town manager in Tolland, which very recently had to deal with a live broadcast feed getting hacked with pornography, so he shared an update on that investigation. (29:43) Dumb Ass News - Judge Lisa Wexler had come in studio to talk about a specific story, but Vince's home made hot sauce was too compelling. He and Matt Lopes both sampled it live on the air, again by dunking an Oreo cookie into the sauce. (39:03)

Dumb Ass News - Leah was on to share her experiencing fighting the entirety of the internet. Chaz and AJ saw a story about her viral TikTok, where she shows how she waxes her 3-year-old daughter's eyebrows. Unsurprisingly, the internet had lots of opinions and even threats for Leah. (0:00) Dumb Ass News - An angry customer filmed his complaints after a lousy experience at a pizza chain, and then worker behind the counter smashed his pizza box because of it. Chaz and AJ were talking about the situation, when suddenly Chaz starting screaming and yelling.. about pizza. (10:16) On the heels of that Dumb Ass News story, Chaz and AJ asked the Tribe to share the things that drive them crazy. (17:58) Brian Foley, formerly with the Hartford Police, was on to talk about latest in the JonBenet Ramsey case, which remains unsolved. (24:51)

Kevin Brookman is covering the great Deadpool Scandal in the Hartford PD. It's not a great reflection on the officers involved, but it's worse in what it tells us about the corruption in Hartford and how gross power is in general. Visit WeThePeopleHartford.com for details. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kevin Brookman is back from WeThePeopleHartford.com with the latest on the Hartford police chief's car crash reporting scandal. We discuss how the liars lie, and why. Plus - Kevin has a photo of the car in question on his blog - and it isn't a small matter of paint transfer!

Kevin R. Brookman, urban sleuth, is hot on the trail of a scandal in the Hartford Police Department, with the chief being investigated for a car accident that he says he reported to state police but police say he didn't. Read up on things at Kevin's blog, WeThePeopleHartford.com.

Kevin Brookman appears to explain the latest Hartford police scandal to be unfolding on his blog wethepeoplehartford.com. It seems the chief of police crashed his city issued car at the end of May, and a just starting investigation into when that crash was reported, and to whom, is already resulting in shifting stories. The plot, as they say, thickens. We'll talk to Kevin again, we expect, on Monday.

Discussion about Connecticut Gov. Dan Malloy’s state budget proposal, which attacks the working class, the poor and human services providers. Malloy’s budget includes closing Blue Hills Substance Abuse Services in Hartford’s North End, an area plagued by opioid addiction. We will also replay our 2016 interview with Hartford Civilian Police Review Board member Rick Torres. Mayor Luke Bronin introduced a resolution to replace Torres and three other Board members, in retaliation for asking inconvenient questions regarding the Emilio Diaz brutality case. Torres and the Board asked for the names of the 19 Hartford Police officers who refused to cooperate with the investigation of former HPD Sgt. Sean Spell, who was caught on video kicking Diaz in the head following a June 4 car chase. Enhanced video shows that four other HPD officers stomped Diaz, but Spell is the only officer who has been criminally charged.Hear COMMUNITY PARTY RADIO Tuesday and Wednesday nights at 8p est | 7p cst | 5p pst on the GET GLOBAL NETWORK internet station SoMetro Radio.

It's the holiday season, and that means, celebrations, reunions, wine and eggnog. And for the West Hartford police, it also means stepping up DUI enforcement.

The West Hartford Police Department joined over 3,400 departments across the country in sponsoring a 'take back day' for unused prescription drugs.

Two West Hartford veteran officers are retiring this month and two others have been promoted. All four were recognized at a ceremony on July 2nd.

On January 4, West Hartford Police started its fourth College Police Academy. It’s a two week class, Mon thru Friday from 8AM to 3PM. The college academy consists of multiple classroom sessions, one full day of various stations and a “ride along”- out on patrol with a West Hartford Police Officer. The program gives college students studying criminal justice the opportunity to see if a law enforcement career is good a fit.
