What happens when experienced officers take a hard look at viral police videos? Raw analysis without filters, excuses, or pulled punches.In this riveting episode, we dissect controversial police encounters that have sparked heated debate online. From an officer throwing equipment at a fleeing vehicle to a lifeguard facing criminal charges after saving a drowning child, we break down what went right, what went wrong, and where the truth actually lies.The conversation takes on particular intensity when examining traffic stops and trespass laws. We challenge common misconceptions from both sides – addressing when officers overstep their authority by demanding ID without legal grounds, while also explaining why continuing to drive after police lights activate constitutes fleeing regardless of your intentions. This balance of perspectives provides rare insight into how law enforcement professionals view these encounters.Our body camera review segment offers an unfiltered look at high-stress police encounters, including a motorcycle chase, an LAPD shooting, and a confrontation with an armed suspect. Through frame-by-frame analysis, we demonstrate how split-second decisions unfold in real-time, revealing the complex reality officers face when threats emerge unexpectedly.Throughout the discussion, we maintain a commitment to fairness – holding officers accountable for misconduct while acknowledging the realities of policing. As one host powerfully notes: "The last thing a cop with a badge wants to do is take somebody's life." Yet we don't shy away from criticizing officers who let ego drive their decisions or fail to de-escalate when possible.Whether you're passionate about police reform, support law enforcement, or simply seek to understand these complex interactions better, this episode offers valuable perspective from those who've worn the badge and remain committed to improving policing for everyone.#police #lawenforcement #cops #policemonitor #policeoversight #policeoversightmonitor #bridgethegap #bethechange Join our Discord!! https://discord.gg/BdjeTEAc 

Raw, unfiltered, and occasionally uncomfortable—this episode delivers the candid police perspectives you won't hear anywhere else. Our panel of current and former law enforcement officers analyzes viral police videos, from high-speed pursuits ending in fatal shootings to controversial First Amendment audits, all while exposing the complex realities behind the badge.When a yellow Corvette flees from an unmarked police car, our hosts debate the merits and dangers of such pursuits. "I'm not a fan of using undercover vehicles in a chase," one host explains, highlighting heightened liability and reduced visibility that endangers everyone involved. The pursuit ended with the suspect's death, leading to a deeper discussion about split-second decisions in life-or-death scenarios.Most compelling is our panel's disagreement over a controversial police shooting on private property. "I'm going to put my foot down on this one. Bad shoot," declares one host, while others explore the constitutional nuances of property rights versus officer safety. When another host reveals the suspect wasn't charged with any crime afterward, the panel concludes officers likely created the very exigency they responded to—a rare moment of police professionals acknowledging a wrongful shooting.The episode takes a lighter turn analyzing a First Amendment audit video, with hosts laughing at officers' rigid responses while offering practical advice: "Just do your stuff, relax. They're not doing anything." This segment showcases our hosts' commitment to improving police-community relations through better training and tactics.Throughout this episode, our panel maintains refreshing honesty about law enforcement strengths and weaknesses—criticizing improper tactics while explaining the challenges officers face daily.

Houston Gas was just six months into his marriage when the unthinkable happened. While responding to what seemed like a routine domestic disturbance call, he opened a door and was met with a shotgun blast directly to his face at point-blank range. The catastrophic damage left him temporarily blind, with his chin hanging down to his collarbone, and his face and body riddled with shotgun pellets that remain there to this day.But this isn't just a story about trauma and injury. It's about the extraordinary human capacity for resilience, forgiveness, and finding purpose in the aftermath of life-altering events. Houston takes us through his harrowing journey – from the moments immediately following the shooting when he couldn't see and was desperately searching for his weapon, through the dozens of surgeries to reconstruct his face and neck, to the emotional toll it took on him and his family.Perhaps most remarkable is what happened eighteen months later when Houston came face-to-face with the man who shot him. In a moment that left the courtroom silent, Houston did something few could imagine – he offered forgiveness. "I didn't want to carry around the burden of hatred anymore," he explains with profound simplicity. "It's draining. It may make you feel powerful for a little bit, but it eats your soul away."Throughout our conversation, Houston offers invaluable insights about support systems for injured officers, the challenges of finding a new identity when the job that defined you is suddenly gone, and how departments can better "walk with their wounded." His candid discussion about contemplating his own death scene and finding the strength to continue reveals the often-hidden psychological battles that injured officers face.Now working with Code 3 Technology after retiring from a 26-year law enforcement career, Houston continues to serve the police community in a new capacity. His story is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices officers make, the resilience of the human spirit, and how forgiveness can be the ultimate act of healing – not just for those who are forgiven, but for those who choose to forgive.send us a message! twocopsonedonut@yahoo.comPeregrine.io: Turn your worst detectives into Sherlock Holmes, head to Peregrine.io tell them Two Cops One Donut sent you or direct message me and I'll get you directly connected and skip the salesmen.Support the showPlease see our Youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/c/TwoCopsOneDonut

When a shotgun blast tears through your face at point-blank range, survival seems unlikely. But for former Deputy Houston Gast, surviving was just the beginning of an extraordinary journey.On a freezing January morning in 2015, Houston answered a domestic disturbance call that would forever alter his life. The blast from a 12-gauge shotgun shattered his face, knocked out his teeth, and filled his body with metal fragments that remain to this day. Through dozens of surgeries, a complete facial reconstruction, and learning to navigate life with permanent injuries, Houston discovered something unexpected – the power of forgiveness.In this powerful episode, Houston shares the raw details of that fateful day and the grueling recovery that followed. He reveals the moment he made the remarkable decision to forgive the man who nearly killed him, sitting face-to-face with his shooter to say the words that liberated him from hatred. With unflinching honesty, he discusses the departmental abandonment many injured officers face and offers crucial guidance to police leaders on supporting their wounded.Beyond the physical trauma, Houston opens up about the psychological battles – the nightmares, the suicidal thoughts, and the struggle to find purpose when your identity as an officer is threatened. His story isn't just about survival; it's about finding meaning in suffering and the freedom that comes from choosing forgiveness over vengeance.The episode concludes with the team reviewing body camera footage, analyzing law enforcement tactics, and discussing de-escalation strategies that could save lives. Houston's unique perspective as someone who's faced death in the line of duty brings invaluable insight to these discussions.Whether you wear a badge or simply want to understand the human capacity for resilience, this conversation will challenge and inspire you. Join us for an unforgettable journey through darkness into light with a true hero who insists he's "just a normal dude" who survived.#police #lawenforcement #cops #policemonitor #policeoversight #policeoversightmonitor #bridgethegap #bethechange Join our Discord!! https://discord.gg/BdjeTEAc 

Ever wonder what happens when a pet raccoon steals a meth pipe during a routine traffic stop? Or how officers balance crisis intervention with protecting potential victims? This eye-opening conversation with Ray Beshirs—23-year law enforcement veteran, defensive tactics expert, and founder of Blue Shield Tactical Systems—takes you behind the badge to explore the complex realities facing modern policing.Ray brings his extensive experience as a former internal affairs supervisor, crimes against children investigator, and martial arts expert to shed light on the critical importance of proper training. We dive deep into the nuances of de-escalation, challenging the common misconception that it's solely about talking someone down. As Ray explains, effective de-escalation often requires appropriate physical intervention to prevent escalation to deadlier force options.The highlight of our discussion comes through analyzing never-before-seen police body camera footage. From the surreal moment when an officer discovers a raccoon playing with drug paraphernalia to the heart-stopping rescue of a choking child, these real-world scenarios showcase the unpredictable nature of police work. Most poignantly, we examine a domestic disturbance call that reveals how conflicting training protocols—crisis intervention versus standard emergency response—can create impossible situations for officers with tragic outcomes.Throughout our conversation, we tackle tough questions about police accountability, the legal duty to protect, and the challenge of making split-second decisions with limited information. Ray's insights on training methodologies, including his work with the DOJ COPS grant program, offer a roadmap for how policing might evolve to better serve communities while protecting officers.Whether you're in law enforcement, interested in criminal justice reform, or simply curious about what officers really face on the job, this episode bridges the gap between police and public understanding. Join us for this frank, informative discussion that goes beyond headlines to explore the human side of the badge.#police #lawenforcement #cops  #bridgethegap #bethechange 

You've heard the debates about police training, accountability, and use of force - but rarely from the inside. This candid conversation brings together Chief Scott Hughes, Sergeant Eric Levine, Banning Sweatland, and rookie officer Trey to unpack what's really happening in modern policing.The numbers are shocking: barbers require 1800 hours of training, cosmetologists need 1500, but police officers - who can legally take a human life - receive just 740 hours before hitting the streets. "We're not giving them enough training where you're increasing heart rate, blood pressure, pulse, breathing, all that and then making them make decisions in those moments," explains Chief Hughes, highlighting how inadequately we prepare officers for real-world stress.Through live analysis of body camera footage, the panel examines critical incidents including an apparent suicide-by-cop situation and a case where officers mistook a cell phone for a weapon. Their commentary reveals how split-second decisions unfold and why multiple officers often fire numerous rounds - context that's frequently missing from headlines.Technology presents both solutions and new challenges. From license plate readers to body cameras that automatically activate when weapons are drawn, these tools create accountability but require proper training and ethical frameworks. "Every keystroke is matched," Levine notes about modern police systems, emphasizing how difficult it is for officers to misuse information without detection.Perhaps most revealing is their honest assessment of police leadership failures. "One of our biggest issues with recruitment and retention isn't what's going on in the media, it's leadership inside the organizations," Hughes admits. This disconnect between command staff and patrol officers creates systemic problems that affect both officer well-being and public safety.Whether you're pro-police, critical of law enforcement, or somewhere in between, this episode offers rare insights into the complexities facing modern officers and the reforms needed to protect both citizens and the officers sworn to serve them.#police #lawenforcement #cops  #bridgethegap #bethechange 

Eric and Mike The Cop will break down the case of Casey Anthony, who was accused and acquitted of killing her 2-year-old daughter Caylee Anthony in 2008. Anthony initially told investigators Caylee had been kidnapped, prompting a massive search for the girl. In 2011, after more than 10 hours of jury deliberations, she was acquitted of murder but convicted of providing false information to law enforcement. She has since admitted lying to police in multiple interviews. Now she has launched a TikTok and a newsletter to "reintroduce" herself as a legal advocate. Has seeing sympathy for the Menendez Brothers and a culture that has crumbled in 15 years made her think she can capitalize on her infamy? Learn more about your ad choices.

In this eye-opening episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton draw inspiration from a post by Mike The Cop (Amazon Affiliate) to tackle common misconceptions that keep officers tied to their roles longer than they might truly want. Debunking Myths: 6 Lies Cops Tell Themselves to Stay on the Job dives into the reasons why these beliefs persist in law enforcement and challenges listeners to reconsider their career paths with fresh perspectives. Introduction to the Myths: Explore the context and popularity of the common lies that officers tell themselves about why they must stay in their jobs, setting the stage for a deeper discussion. Breaking Down the 6 Lies: I Wouldn't Be Good at Anything Else:   Why it might feel true: Many officers identify so strongly with their role that imagining a different career seems impossible. Why it's not necessarily true: Skills like leadership, crisis management, and communication are highly transferable to numerous fields. It's the Only Thing I Know: Why it might feel true: Years of specialized training and experiences can make other jobs seem out of reach. Why it's not necessarily true: Many industries value the unique knowledge and discipline that former law enforcement officers bring. I Make Too Much Money to Leave: Why it might feel true: Law enforcement can offer competitive salaries not easily matched in other sectors. Why it's not necessarily true: Opportunities in private security, consulting, or corporate roles could match or exceed current earnings. The Benefits Are Just Too Good: Why it might feel true: Health insurance, retirement plans, and other benefits are often superior. Why it's not necessarily true: Many private sector jobs offer comparable, if not better, benefit packages. I'm Too Close to Retirement: Why it might feel true: The promise of retirement benefits can be a strong incentive to stay. Why it's not necessarily true: Mental and physical health, happiness, and personal growth are also critical to consider. It'll Make Me a Quitter or a 'Coward: Why it might feel true: Cultural stigma around leaving the force can pressure officers to stay. Why it's not necessarily true: Making a change for personal well-being is a brave and respectable decision. Encouraging Personal Reflection: Invite listeners to reflect on these myths and how they may have influenced their own career decisions. Encourage honest self-assessment about what truly brings fulfillment and joy in their professional lives. As a listener, think about conversations you can have with peers or mentors about these topics. Maybe start a journal to explore your thoughts and feelings about your career and future aspirations. Share insights or stories about overcoming these myths with the Tactical Living community to help support and inspire others who might be facing similar dilemmas.

First aired as Episode 22 on November 12, 2021, Mike The Cop and Eric Tansey breakdown the Kyle Rittenhouse case. Rittenhouse gained national attention at age 17 for shooting three men in Kenosha, Wisconsin—two fatally—in August 2020, amid protests following the police shooting of Jacob Blake. Rittenhouse had traveled to Kenosha during the unrest, and joined a group of armed people who said they were there to protect businesses. In a series of confrontations, Rittenhouse fatally shot two men who had tried to grab his gun, and injured another who had pointed a firearm at him. Rittenhouse was subsequently charged by Kenosha County prosecutors with multiple criminal counts, including homicide. Rittenhouse claimed self-defense at trial and was acquitted in November 2021.

Today on Failure to Stop with Mike The Cop and Eric Tansey, the boys sit down with Lt. Mitchell who stopped an active shooter and then was charged with murder from a woke DA and mob. During the early morning hours of May 20th, 2019, Lt. Mitchell responded to a report of a woman driving her car around town firing a gun out the window. She'd already shot at her mother, police officers, vehicles, and other objects. The suspect had ignored many demands to drop the weapon and surrender. Eventually, Lt. Mitchell, with both his AR-15 and handgun, and another officer, with his pistol, fired shots into the suspect's pickup truck until they stopped the threat. How dead is dead? How many rounds can be used in deadly force? We break it all down here. SPONSORED BY: Ghostbed.com | Code: WOLFPACK - 35% off www.itargetpro.com | Code: Wolfpack

042 Finding Life After The Badge With Mike The Cop | Nick Koumalatsos Mike spent 11 years as a cop and then officially ended his law enforcement career. During all those years, if he wanted even to try to get ahead, he had to rely on the next overtime slot, the next traffic detail, the next extra job, etc... For years he was sacrificing time with family for politicians and supervisors who didn't appreciate it and who would be quick to toss him under the bus, no matter how hard he worked... That was until his friend and mentor Chris Fisher told him that because of his experience in policing, he was now equipped to kill it in the real estate game. As a former cop himself who had to walk away after an injury, he convinced him to get his real estate license and follow his lead. Fast forward a couple of years, and both of them had successfully followed a pattern of how to grow their businesses, relying on skills they had developed as first responders. While enjoying some bourbon (shocker), they came up with the crazy idea of wanting to help teach what they had learned to other cops...a thousand of them, to get specific. So, they started the Ten 7 Project. After several months of seeing dozens of cops change their lives, a firefighter asked if they could help him. Although the Ten 7 Project only allowed cops, they couldn't think of a good reason to tell him no. they decided to expand the project to allow all first responders, public safety professionals, and veterans to participate. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/nick-koumalatsos/support
