In this episode of Arc Junkies Podcast, I sit down with Dick Holdren, President of the American Welding Society (AWS) and a 50-year veteran of the welding industry. From his early days at Ohio State University to working on major military and industrial projects, Dick has played a critical role in shaping welding standards, education, and automation. We cover a lot in this conversation, including: AWS certification changes and what welders, inspectors, and engineers need to know The importance of welding standards and terminology—and how they impact contracts and compliance The rise of robotic welding and automation in fabrication Lessons from working on MRAP armored vehicles and other military projects How welding engineers bridge the gap between design, production, and inspection The value of getting involved with AWS committees and how you can influence industry standards Arc Junkies Podcast: Instagram: @Arcjunkiespodcast YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@arcjunkiespodcast9253 Email: Show@arcjunkies.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jason-becker-45407b72?lipi=urn%3Ali%3Apage%3Ad_flagship3_profile_view_base_contact_details%3BKipEwR3uQXCmCjaEfNzo6w%3D%3D Arc Junkies Website: https://arcjunkies.com Arc junkies Merch: https://shop.threadmob.com/arcjunkie/shop/home Underground Metal Works: https://www.underground-metalworks.com/ Friends of the Show: American Welding Society Conferences IEC Conference https://www.aws.org/community-and-events/conferences-and-events/iec/ Use BECKER at Checkout and get a free gift at the event.

This week on Urban Valor, we sit down with Army Veteran Daniel Perez. Born in Riverside, CA, Daniel grew up in a challenging childhood marked by his parents' separation and lack of supervision. His early years were consumed by fighting, drug use, and being expelled from high school.Motivated by stories of Iraqi sniper "Juba," Daniel enlisted in the Army National Guard as an 11B infantryman. His deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan brought harrowing experiences, including a blue-on-blue firefight, MRAP crashes, and tense confrontations with civilians in life-or-death scenarios.Daniel's story also discusses the challenges of reintegration into civilian life, from battling mental health struggles to finding his footing after the Army.
On today's Strategy Series program, sponsored by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Dr. Jerry McGinn, the director of the Baroni Center for Government Contracting at George Mason University, joins Defense & Aerospace Report Editor Vago Muradian to discuss his new report — “Before the Balloon Goes Up: Mobilizing the Defense Industrial Base now to Prepare for Future Conflict” — why he believes the United States isn't prepared for prolonged future conflicts; industrial lessons from World War II, MRAP vehicles, Covid-19, and the Ukraine war; the importance of senior leadership in driving change; why 2024 is different than 1938; what America has to do to step up its production capacity; how to harness commercial industry for the challenge ahead; role of allies and partners; and an update on the Biden administration's first ever National Defense Industrial Strategy.
Don't miss our newsletter! Mike hosts Andy Lowery to dig deep into directed energy weapons—specifically high-power microwave (HPM) systems. Andy is the CEO of Epirus, a venture-backed defense tech startup inverting the cost equation of drone defense and swarm protection. We talk about the tech, how it affects electronics, and how Epirus' flagship product—Leonidas—is designed with adaptability and scale in mind. Turns out that HPM systems share more in common with an F-35 radar and an EA-18 jammer than a kitchen appliance! The Army is currently in a rapid buy-and-try phase of these counter-UAS (CUAS) systems and is sending them to the Middle East. The systems have a host of other applications, though—the Navy is experimenting with them to disable boat motors, and the Air Force is also interested. This episode is a defense tech episode you don't want to miss!

ANDY CROWE ● BILL YATES ● NICK WALKER ● DAVID GIBSON NICK WALKER: Welcome to Manage This, the podcast by project managers for project managers. It's a chance for us to get together every couple of weeks and have a conversation about what matters to you as a professional project manager. We'll cover subjects such as project management certification, doing the job of project management, and get inside the brains of some of the leaders in the industry and hear their stories. I'm your host, Nick Walker. And with me are our resident experts, Andy Crowe and Bill Yates. They are project managers who mentor other project managers and those working toward that title. Andy and Bill, a lot to look forward to today. Andy, we've had some amazing guests lately. ANDY CROWE: We really have. And I think today's going to continue that trend, Nick. We're excited to have Dave Gibson in the studio. NICK WALKER: Well, let's get right to our guest. I know we've got a lot to cover. David Gibson is the Vice President and Division Manager of McKean Defense Group in Washington, D.C. He guides, mentors, coaches, and develops program managers. His experience includes strategic planning, customer engagement, and business development, and much more. Among other projects, he was the program manager for the Pentagon's MRAP, M-R-A-P, the Mine Resistant Ambush Protected military vehicle. David, welcome to Manage This. DAVID GIBSON: Thank you. I'm glad to be here. NICK WALKER: We really are anxious to talk with you about this program that you were involved in. And even though it's been a while, it's such an involved program. It was a major part of your life; wasn't it. DAVID GIBSON: It was. It was a wonderful seven years. It was a hard seven years. But it was very rewarding, probably the highlight of a career. NICK WALKER: It's nice to see that you've come out on the other side intact. DAVID GIBSON: Thank you, thank you. NICK WALKER: So David, what was your role in this project, your specific portion? DAVID GIBSON: Yeah, so on a program like this, you know, obviously the government has the lead role; right? And the government, it's an inherently governmental contract. They're managing it. But I was on a team that was sort of a staff augmentation. There's areas we can help; there's areas where we can't help. You know, we can't commit the government to dollars. You know, so while I'm talking about the program today from an overall perspective, my role was on the contractor side, in support of the government's efforts. And when I started initially on the program, I was a project officer. I came up through the ranks. I became the deputy program manager and then eventually the program manager. I sat in the program manager, on the contractor side, seat for about five years of the seven. Or actually it was a little bit less than that. It was probably closer to four. And then on the government side, you know, the first government program manager was a gentleman named Paul Mann. Second one was Dave Hansen. And Dave and I came into the program manager, respective program manager positions about the same time. He was a couple months after I was. Such a rewarding experience to work with Dave. Dave was a huge inspiration to me. And, you know, we've continued to keep in touch. We're off doing our own things now. He's managing another Marine Corps program. I'm back working with the Navy at McKean Defense. And it's – but, you know, it's mutually supportive. NICK WALKER: Tell us a little bit about how this all started. Give us a little background. DAVID GIBSON: Okay. So if you remember back in 2006, that timeframe, U.S. forces were in Iraq and Afghanistan. And we would see on the nightly news the Humvees that were being destroyed by IEDs, and the service members that were dying or being disfigured because of it. BILL YATES: And, Dave, what's an IED? Just explain that. DAVID GIBSON: An IED is an improvised explosive device. ...

Il y a des gens qui pensent que les êtres humains sont divisés en plusieurs races : les Asiatiques, les Noirs, les Blancs, les Arabes… Et que, parmi ces groupes d'humains, certains sont supérieurs à d'autres ! Pourtant, même si on a des apparences et des cultures différentes, on a tous les mêmes ancêtres et on fait partie d'une seule et même espèce humaine : les Homo sapiens. C'est prouvé scientifiquement ! Alors, pourquoi certaines personnes sont encore victimes de racisme aujourd'hui ? Et comment lutter contre cette injustice, pourtant interdite et punie par la loi ? Séverine, la journaliste d'1jour1actu, a fait un voyage dans le temps pour rencontrer Rosa Parks, une militante pour le droit des Noirs aux États-Unis, au milieu du XXe siècle. Hugo, Olivia et leur classe de CM1 ont trouvé sur Internet le témoignage de stars, elles aussi victimes de racisme. Ils ont aussi interviewé André Bordeur, professeur d'histoire et bénévole au MRAP, le Mouvement contre le racisme et pour l'amitié entre les peuples, pour savoir comment réagir si on est témoin ou victime de discriminations, de propos ou d'actes racistes. Plus question de laisser faire ni de se laisser faire ! Écoute cet épisode de Même pas vrai ! et mène l'enquête avec les enfants pour mettre les stéréotypes au tapis et lutter contre les discriminations ! Toi aussi tu veux enquêter et lutter contre les stéréotypes et les discriminations ? Alors, écoute tous les épisodes de Même pas vrai !, une série de l'hebdomadaire 1Jour 1Actu. En savoir plus : https://www.1jour1actu.com/podcasts Si tu es victime de racisme, n'hésite pas à en parler à un adulte de confiance, à la maison ou à l'école. Tu peux aussi appeler le 3020, numéro gratuit de lutte contre le harcèlement à l'école. Merci à André Bordeur, bénévole au MRAP (https://mrap.fr//) d'avoir répondu à nos questions.

My colleague James Hasik recently published his newest book, Securing the MRAP: Lessons Learned in Marketing and Military Procurement. In this episode of the Acquisition Talk podcast, we listen in on an excellent event hosted by the Center for Government Contracting at George Mason University. It starts with a conversation between Senior Fellows Stephanie Halcrow and James Hasik. Afterwards, Stephanie moderates a panel discussion with: - Susan Alderson, the statistician who sparked the successful drive to adopt the MRAP in the Marine Corps - Damon Walsh, a former MRAP marketing executive at Force Protection Inc. - Paul Mann, the first MRAP program manager The MRAP, of course, was an urgent program in the mid-to-late 2000s that addressed the IED threat. Basically, it is a ground vehicle with advanced suspension, greater ground clearance, a v-shaped hull, and kevlar panels that make it survivable against enemy IEDs. Even though the basic problem had been solved in South Africa many years before, the interesting part is how this solution was not immediately obvious given all the different ways you can defeat IEDs. Many different groups of people -- some of which didn't even know each other -- contributed to the genesis of the MRAP program, and then rapid scaling to 5,000 vehicles in less than 19 months after the JUONS requirement. It is truly an amazing story, and the event really brought out some great lessons learned: - Interservice rivalry can incentivize adoption - Don't break too many rice bowls - DoD must improve its market research capabilities - Experiment and test before working on requirements - Ignore those who say you'll fail - Negotiating with suppliers on a DX rated contract
Ce mercredi 15 décembre, M. U., ressortissant kosovar qui résidait régulièrement en France depuis plus de dix ans avant que le renouvellement de son titre de séjour « étranger malade » ne lui soit refusé, a mis fin à ses jours dans les geôles du palais de justice de Bordeaux. Alors qu'il avait confié son projet de suicide à plusieurs reprises le jour du drame, aucune mesure de prévention n'avait été prise. Visé par une obligation de quitter le territoire français à la suite du retrait de son titre de séjour, M. U. était poursuivi devant le Tribunal Correctionnel, en comparution immédiate, pour avoir refusé d'embarquer dans un avion à destination du Kosovo : la perspective d'être expulsé et d'y être renvoyé l'a poussé au pire. Extrême angoisse C'est le second suicide en lien avec la rétention en quelques semaines : le 22 novembre 2021, une personne retenue au CRA de Oissel a tenté de mettre fin à ses jours et est décédée le lendemain des suites de son geste. Le recours massif à l'enfermement des personnes étrangères au seul motif de l'irrégularité de leur situation administrative est la cause d'innombrables drames que les associations de défense des droits humains et, avec elles, de nombreux∙ses avocat∙e∙s dénoncent depuis des années. Pour la plupart d'entre elles, cette privation de liberté est synonyme d'extrême angoisse, dont le suicide, comme celui de M. U., peut être l'issue fatale. Acharnement des préfectures Pourtant, les poursuites pénales pour refus d'embarquement - ou pour refus des tests PCR imposés en vue de l'expulsion - se sont multipliées depuis plus d'un an, au point d'exploser aujourd'hui, ajoutant à cet enfermement administratif de lourdes peines d'emprisonnement. L'acharnement des préfectures à expulser à tout prix obtient ainsi le soutien de certain∙es Procureur∙e∙s de la République prompt∙e∙s à déclencher des poursuites et de juridictions prêtes à condamner des personnes qui redoutent seulement de se retrouver dans un pays qu'elles ont fui. Ainsi la politique pénale se met-elle au diapason d'une politique d'immigration et d'asile inhumaine. Aux dernières nouvelles, un homme, emprisonné au centre pénitentiaire de Bordeaux-Gradignan, a été hospitalisé alors qu'il menait une grève de la faim depuis plusieurs semaines après avoir été condamné pour avoir refusé le test PCR préalable à son expulsion. Combien de nouveaux drames faudra-t-il dénombrer avant que cette escalade répressive et disproportionnée soit abandonnée ? Attentatoire à leurs droits fondamentaux et meurtrière, la criminalisation des personnes étrangères doit prendre fin. Communiqué du 22 décembre 2021 de l'Observatoire de l'enfermement des étrangers.

I was pleased to have John Ferrari join me on the Acquisition Talk podcast to discuss a wide range of issues facing DoD's ability to field game-changing technologies in an era of strategic competition. He recently retired from the Army as a Major General and director of program analysis and evaluation at the G8. He is now a non-resident senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and Chief Financial Officers of QOMPLX, a data analytics and cybersecurity firm. We touch on: - The impact of inflation on defense - How the Army IVAS HoloLens program shows the future of acquisition - Ways for organizing JADC2 and interoperability - The challenges of running DoD on PowerPoints and disjointed IT systems - Whether new entrants can scale in defense without suing the government In the episode, John argues that DoD's process looks to replace existing "legacy" platforms with newer versions of the same thing: aircraft, ships, ground vehicles, satellites, etc. This focus on the future leads to a dearth of experimentation today, leading to poor choices on those "next-gen" platforms. Instead, he argues that so-called legacy systems should be used as experimental test-beds for integrating new technologies. For example, outfitting a navy ship with fiber optics and 5G, deploying a commercial-based operating system, and allowing nontraditionals to quickly deliver capabilities against that. Another example is the Army's JLTV program, which is basically a small MRAP and while it met its requirement from 2012, has none of the new technologies widely available in the auto-industry like anti-lock breaks and backup cameras, not to mention a suite of sensors and automated software updates found in a Tesla. DoD doesn't have decades to move towards military technologies that have caught up with the 21st century. "If you're building new systems and it takes you 30 or 40 years to get there, rather than taking commercial technology today and embedding it in the current systems, you'll never get there." While the Secretary of Defense can accelerate this move towards rapid experimentation and adoption, it takes his personal attention to each and every project. That cannot scale. The system can only move as fast as trust allows, and since the 1970s there has been a major breakdown in trust between the executive and legislative branches. John argues that information technology provides an opportunity to build back trust, similar to the way parents have learned to trust putting their child into an Uber because they can track location, see the drive's profile, and so forth.

This is Stephen Schmidt from the Gazette digital news desk and I'm here with your update for Tuesday, December 7. There will be some of the coldest temperatures of the week Tuesday before temperatures pick back up again as the week goes along. According to a weather forecast from the National Weather Service there will be a chance of snow flurries between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. Tuesday in the Cedar Rapids area with a high near 30 degrees. It will be cloudy, with a south wind of 5 to 15 mph. On Tuesday night the sky will gradually clear, with a low around 20 degrees. 4 years after the University of Iowa began fiercely denying allegations it discriminated against a student organization by punishing it for barring an openly gay member from becoming a leader of the group, the state will pay the law firm representing the student group nearly $2 million. In a pair of judgments from lawsuits that the Business Leaders in Christ student group led against the UI in 2017 and that Intervarsity Christian Fellowship filed in 2018, the U.S. District Court ordered the university to pay a combined $1.93 million for attorney fees and damages. The payments close the yearslong hard-fought disputes that involved numerous injunctions, summary judgments, appeals, affirmations, requests for reconsideration and final rulings. Business Leaders in Christ was first to sue UI in 2017 when the campus yanked its student organization status — including not allowing it at campus recruiting fairs — after a member complained he was blocked from becoming a leader when he refused to affirm the group's belief that same-sex relationships are against the Bible. In its lawsuit, the Christian groujp accused the UI of selectively applying its human rights policy, noting other student groups — like Muslim and ethnic groups and fraternities and sororities — are allowed to restrict leadership and membership based on gender, ethnicity and ideology. The Johnson County Sheriff's Office will request $240,000 for a Lenco BearCat armored vehicle — despite objections from protesters and some elected officials that civilian police forces shouldn't deploy military-style vehicles — in its upcoming fiscal year budget. Sheriff Brad Kunkel presented an $810,841 decision package, which also includes money to replace aging camera equipment, to the Johnson County Board of Supervisors during a work session Monday morning. The board has been holding work sessions for county departments to present fiscal 2023 budget requests ahead of the first vote, which is slated for Jan. 12. The BearCat would replace the county's Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicle — or MRAP — which was acquired by the Sheriff's Office in 2014 for free through a federal program disposing of obsolete or unneeded military equipment. The MRAP has been a source of community concern and scorn in Johnson County ever since it was first acquired. In discussion about the budget Monday, supervisors were split over the need of any armored vehicle for the department at all and the benefits of using the BearCat as a more palatable replacement for the MRAP. More than 30 people spoke out against a carbon dioxide pipeline proposed to run through 36 Iowa counties, including Linn, at an informational meeting where hundreds of people gathered Monday night in Cedar Rapids. Navigator CO2 Ventures, a Texas company, is proposing a 1,300-mile pipeline that would capture carbon dioxide at Iowa ethanol and fertilizer plants and transport it in pressurized liquid form through a pipeline to a sequestration site in south-central Illinois. There, the liquid carbon would be injected into rock formations, where it would calcify and be permanently stored. The idea, which scientists say can work, would keep carbon dioxide out of the air, where it contributes to global warming. Questions asked during Monday night's more than three-hour meeting concerned safety, the proposed pipeline route, whether the project brings value to average Iowans Support this podcast

This is Stephen Schmidt from the Gazette digital news desk and I'm here with your update for Wednesday, July 28. Wednesday is set to be the hottest day in an already hot week. According to the National Weather Service, it should be mostly sunny and hot, with a high near 96 degrees in the Cedar Rapids area. Heat index values could reach as high as 105. Wednesday night it will stay mostly clear, with a low around 76 degrees. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention changed course Tuesday on masking guidelines, recommending that even vaccinated people return to wearing them indoors in parts of the country — including some counties in Iowa — where the Delta variant of the coronavirus is fueling surges. Citing new information about the variant's ability to spread among vaccinated people, the CDC also recommended indoor masks for all teachers, staff, students and visitors at K-12 schools nationwide, regardless of vaccination status and regardless of the rate of community spread. Republican Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds rejected the guidance soon after it was issued, criticizing the Democratic Biden administration for confusing and unnecessary messages. "The Biden Administration's new COVID-19 guidance telling fully vaccinated Iowans to now wear masks is not only counterproductive to our vaccination efforts, but also not grounded in reality or common sense," Reynolds said in a statement. She did not explain how asking people to wear a mask discourages vaccinations. But she added she was concerned the federal guidance could result in mask mandates for schools. Reynolds signed a law in May that prohibits local officials from requiring masks be worn in schools or businesses. Iowa ranks lower than the national average when it comes to the rate of vaccinations, with about 47 percent of the population, or 1.47 million Iowans, fully vaccinated. Like many states, vaccination interest here has stagnated. After twice voting to support a controversial housing development proposed near Hickory Hill Park, the Iowa City Council reversed course Tuesday night and rejected a rezoning that would have allowed homes and a senior living center and added land to the park. A reversal on the third consideration of the Hickory Trail Estates development came after council members heard and read an onslaught of opposition to the project, although it had been scaled back from its initial proposal. Council members heard an hour of public comment from residents Tuesday evening, with all who spoke aside from the developer in opposition. The project was proposed by developer Joseph Clark, Nelson Development and Axiom Consultants. Residents have cited concerns that the development's proximity to the park would disrupt the ecosystem and aesthetics of the park. Hickory Trail Estates was to include 41 lots of single-family housing and a senior living facility, and add 14 acres to the nearby Hickory Hill Park. A mine resistant ambush protected vehicle, shared by Johnson County law enforcement agencies, will remain an option for the Iowa City Police Department, for the moment, as the Iowa City Council considers alternatives to the armored transport vehicle. The vehicle, known as an MRAP, was purchased by the Johnson County Sheriff's Office in 2014. Residents have decried the use of the vehicle, saying its use is unnecessary and a needless militarization of the police. Local law enforcement has pushed back, saying that they need an armored vehicle option to help protect officers in dangerous situations. The Johnson County Board of Supervisors has also https://www.press-citizen.com/story/news/local/eastern-iowa/2021/06/16/mrap-johnson-county-considers-getting-rid-military-police-vehicle-mine-resistant-ambush-protection/7686785002/ (directed Johnson County Sheriff Brad Kunkel) to consider an alternative option to the MRAP.

Dominic Davila (U.S. Marine Corps. Ret.) On November 27, 2006, Dominic joined the Marine Corps and went through boot camp. After graduation, Dominic went to School of Infantry West (SOI West), where he became an 0331. Upon graduating, SOI West Dominic was sent to Camp Lejeune, NC, and assigned to 2/8 Echo and Weapons Co. On October 31, 2007, Dominic deployed to Ramadi, Iraq, where he was a gunner in an MRAP. After a 7 month tour, he returned stateside. A year later, on May 15, 2009, he was deployed to Helmand, Province Afghanistan, for OP Khanjar. A few months into his deployment, on July 23, 2009, Dominics life changed. “We were rolling down the road when our Humvee ran over a 100lb IED. The blast killed the driver, Lcpl. Jeremy Lasher instantly, and our vehicle commander died later from sustained injuries; his name was Cpl. Nick Xiarhos. Our Corpsman HM2 Trevor Parr and myself were ejected from the Humvee. I was sent to Walter Reed Army Medical center, where I spent the next 3 years recovering and completing my Med Board.”-Dominic Davila

BILL YATES: Thank you, Wendy. Appreciate it. WENDY GROUNDS: Today we're talking to Peter Baines. We came across Peter and discovered some of the work that he is doing, an incredible story. He was a forensic investigator, and he worked in Bali in 2002 after the terrorist bombings, as well as in the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami. He went to Thailand and worked there as a forensic investigator after those disasters. And he's going to talk more about that on the podcast. BILL YATES: Yeah, Wendy, this is going to be an interesting conversation with Peter. He has had unique experiences that kind of hit a theme that we've had some prior episodes on. We had conversation with Dr. Chuck Casto about the Fukushima nuclear disaster. We talked with Dave Gibson about the development of the MRAP team. More recently we spoke with Matt Harper about the USS Cole bombing. And we had a conversation with a fire chief, Mark Von Tillow, who's been chasing wildfires. So there's a common thread there of times of incredible crisis that Peter can speak to, and through that he's got a lot of wisdom to share with us. He can help give us perspective on our projects of what actions to take when things look overwhelming, how to stay grounded during crisis, and just how to lead through it. WENDY GROUNDS: Yeah, just a little more about Peter which we don't cover in the podcast is he worked for Interpol in France, leading counterterrorism projects. He also spent time advising the United Nations Office in Drug and Crime in Southeast Asia on leadership and counterterrorism. And he will go on to tell us about a charity that he started called Hands Across the Water. And we're very excited to hear about the work that he's been doing there. Also he was awarded the Order of Australia Medal for his international humanitarian work in 2014, and in 2016 he received the Most Admirable Order of Direkgunabhorn awarded by the king of Thailand for his services to the kingdom of Thailand. We really are so honored to have Peter with us today. Welcome, Peter. Thank you so much for joining us on Manage This. PETER BAINES: It's so nice to join you. Thank you for the invitation. Peter's Early Career WENDY GROUNDS: I want to go back and find out about your career, how you became a forensic investigator. What led you into that field? PETER BAINES: So I joined the New South Wales Police, and I was a serving police officer here for several years.
We are back with another episode of the Undeniable Level Up Podcast. Last week we discussed extreme ownership. We heard an amazing speech from former Navy Seal Jocko Willink, who hosts an amazing podcast. It was actually one of the first podcasts that I ever listened too. We will provide a link in the show notes if you want to go and check him out. Today, we are going to talk about the rules. And why rules are for stupid people. Dr. House from the television show, "House" is fond of saying, "Rules are just helpful guidelines for stupid people…". Q: Would you agree with Dr. House?So I was first exposed to the "Rules are for stupid people" philosophy when I was deployed to Afghanistan during my first tour, between 2008 and 2009. I deployed there as part of an advisory MiTT Team. Our call sign was Vampires and I was Vampire 4. We were known as Team Vampires. We were deployed to the Paktika Province, a small outpost called Forward Operating Base, or FOB Bermel. For my Vampire brothers out there that may be tuning in, I miss you guys! There are bonds that are forged in combat that can't be broken by time or distance. The mission of a MiTT team is to serve as combat advisors to Afghan and Iraqi combat troops so that they can continue the counterinsurgency mission long after we are gone. Our job was to "build an Army". The only problem is that this is a mission typically reserved for Special Operations units. These are typically heavily resourced teams with priority support that allow them to operate independent and with disregard of the battlefield owner's control. MiTT teams on the other hand were severely under-resourced, lacked any type of priority and often fumbled throughout the battlefield space struggling to reach higher echelon leadership. We were often outside of commz, unable to gain air support and riding solo throughout some of the most treacherous geography that Afghanistan has to offer. When we traveled, we often traveled with two MRAPs, three U.S. Soldiers per MRAP; a driver, a tank commander, or T.C., typically the highest ranking person in the vehicle and then the Gunner. Oh yeah, and an Afghan Interpreter. The team was rank heavy with mostly Captains and Senior enlisted non-commissioned officers and few junior Soldiers for a total of six to 200 - 400 Afghan Soldiers in Hilux Pickup trucks. Our team leader was a Major, and on our team, that was MAJ Mike. This dude was fearless when it came to moving with the Afghans. There was a mission that we were on once where an Afghan commander, enraged for whatever reason, began to beat one of his Soldiers with the butt of his AK47, pulling him out fo the back of the Hilux Pickup. We were in the middle of a convoy at the time, we hadn't gotten our MRAPs yet, so we re in armored Humvees, and I was on the .50 Cal machine gun when MAJ Mike jumps out and rushes over to stop the commander from beating his Soldier to death. I tried to stop him, but he wasn't having it. The whole time I had the .50 cal trained on the Afghans knowing that if they responded aggressively toward Mike that it would turn into Custer's last stand. Fortunately for us, Mike was able to de-escalate the situation, being the phenomenal diplomat that he is.I say all of that and share that story to set the tone for what happened when I challenged one of MAJ Mike's decisions. I can't remember the context of the discussion. I just remember telling him, "We can't do that, it's against the rules," to which he responded, "Rules are for stupid people!" Now, let that sink in, the same way I did, when I first heard it. Q: What do you think about small pearl of wisdom? Ray A. Davis says, "Following all the rules leaves a completed checklist. Following your heart achieves a completed you." (Discuss the quote) As I returned from my first deployment to Afghanistan, I had been doing some consulting there on contracts for the local contractors that were building roads, guard towers and buildings on our small outpost for free. They would bring me government proposals and ask me to interpret them so that they can submit bids. When I redeployed back to the U.S., I began getting emails from these same contractors, asking if I could take some time to assist them with these proposals. This was the point at which my first official business was born. JLM Consulting provided consulting on government contracts for Afghan Construction Contractors. My services were free, and I was only compensated when the contractor was awarded a contract that I had consulted on and helped prepare. This made me a lot of money, very quickly. "Rules are for stupid people," is equivalent to "legal opportunism". This is the act of circumnavigating the law. Operating in the gray areas between what is black and white. Sometimes this can be a moral sticky ground. When someone is using this philosophy to live their lives, they aren't breaking the rules, they are just bending them to a point where it is advantageous. Q: Have you ever had to bend a rule to capitalize on a situation? In an article titled, "Why Entrepreneurs Say Rules Shouldn't Apply To Them", author, Derek Ludlow states that entrepreneurs are "prone to breaking or ignoring the rules". He calls out both Uber and AirBNB for using rule breaking for creating their multi-billion dollar companies. Uber has been sued by multiple cab companies and taxi commissions around the world, saying that they do not follow the rules that apply to Taxi Cabs. I know recently in California the state ruled that Uber was misclassifying their drivers as independent contractors instead of as employees in order to avoid increased costs due to benefit requirements. Additionally, AirBNB has received complaints from hotels for not having to pay hotel tax fees, which drive up costs for hotels versus AirBNBs. Q: Do you believe that entrepreneurs should be exempt from rules or be allowed to bend rules in order to drive innovation? In the cannabis industry, we have federal regulations that still make cannabis an illegal substance, but states have approved both medicinal and recreational use. Oregon just recently opened the flood gates to almost all illegal drugs to include heroin. Q: Should businesses be profiting from a business structure that has traditionally resulted in criminal punishment? What about the fact that these laws often targeted minority communities, but the entry into most of these markets are so difficult that most of those victimized by these rules, cannot participate in them legally. Q: Do you operate from a "Seek forgiveness, not permission", or are you a permission seeker when it comes to your entrepreneurial spirit? Q: What rules should never be bent or broken from a business or entrepreneurial perspective? The following three (3) CEOs are known for being rule breakers: Jenny Fleiss - CEO of Jetblack, a dress rental business raised over $200M in venture capital…WITHOUT A BUSINESS PLAN! Jeff Raider - CEO of Harry's men's grooming product. They started in 2013 with NO CAPITAL AND NO FACTORIES and grew their business as the demand grew. Payal Kadakia - CEO of Classpass launched a her company, a platform that allows members to book fitness classes…BEFORE SHE HAD THE PLATFORM BUILT. The following three (3) companies got ahead by breaking rules: AirBNB - In order to grow supply for their service, they turned to Craigslist, contacting people who had listed their homes for rent and asked them to list on AirBNB. TOMS - A shoe seller sold shoes from a residential apartment, hiding it from his landlady. Dropbox - Sold their product before they were done building it to test out the market demand. Read: Dan Pierce, from Single Dad Laughing says, “Most rules are made by people with no authority who want to control and limit you from reaching your true potential. Ignore them, break their rules, and wave at them as you soar past them to greatness.” It's time to level up and stop allowing yourself to be constrained by the boxes that have been designed to keep business owners, entrepreneurs and leaders from reaching greatness. Anyone who has achieved significant success, has done so by bending and occasionally breaking a rule or two. How do you call yourself an out-of-the-box thinker, if you've always been to afraid to get out of the box. If you're ready to start breaking some rules and getting ahead, I encourage you to read the book, "How to Succeed in Business By Breaking All the Rules, A Plan for Entrepreneurs", by Dan S. Kennedy. This book gives you the understanding of how to become comfortable in the gray in order to climb out of the red and stay in the black. It's time to stop letting rules, limit your ability to achieve success."How to Succeed in Business By Breaking All the Rules, A Plan for Entrepreneurs", by Dan S.

Enquêtes et filatures La guerre contre le crime qui mène Edgar Hoover, directeur du FBI, ressemble à s'y méprendre à celle conduite des décennies plus tard contre le terrorisme. Même scénario, mêmes ficelles. On magnifie une menace, on l'instrumentalise politiquement. En luttant contre les gangsters le gouvernement Roosevelt cherche à consolider la paix et la croissance aux Etats-Unis. J. Edgar Hoover propose à l’acteur James Cagney véritable star d’Hollywood d’incarner sur le grand écran un agent modèle. Une véritable consécration pour le bureau!

Les questions suivantes synthétisent l'entretien réalisé avec Graziella Danguy, à retrouver en intégralité dans le podcast ci-dessus Rencontre avec Graziella Danguy, représentante du syndicat FSU de l'Observatoire Girondin des Libertés Publiques et présidente de la Clé Des Ondes, qui participera à la manifestation qui débute à 14h Place des Quinconces côté quais et dont vous pouvez retrouver les multiples signataires en bas de cet article. Cette manifestation ce samedi va avoir lieu pour s'opposer à une batterie de lois sécuritaires, pouvez-vous nous dire lesquelles et quels problèmes elles posent ? La Loi de « Sécurité Globale » déjà touche des droits fondamentaux, notamment celui de manifester. Depuis 2015 déjà avec l'état d'urgence notre droit de manifester avait été limité. Elle atteint aussi la liberté de la Presse : Darmanin avait par exemple déclaré que les journalistes devaient se signaler pour demander la permission d'être présents lors de manifestations. Et elle donne aussi tout pouvoir à la police et aux forces de l'ordre, traversés par une crise systémique qui s'est aggravée avec le mouvement des gilets jaunes où l'on a vu une répression inouïe : des personnes mutilées, des interpellations, des peines de prison. Là ils ont maintenant décidé de s'armer, et notamment de s'armer juridiquement pour limiter au maximum le droit de manifester. Avec le droit des policiers de ne plus être filmés on cherche quoi ? On cherche à banaliser ce qu'on appelait avant des bavures et qui sont devenues aujourd'hui les violences policières. On donne des armes de guerre aux policiers, regardez la brigade de force d'action rapide ! "Cette politique est extrêmement liée à l'aggravation des inégalités dans ce pays." Cette politique est extrêmement liée à l'aggravation des inégalités dans ce pays. Plus on a de pauvres, exclus de la vie économique, sociale et politique, plus on a l'impression qu'il y a un armement juridique qui est en train de se mettre en place pour museler tout le monde. L'article 24 qui concerne les forces de l'ordre n'est pas le seul qui pose problème, tous les autres aussi. De plus le 4 décembre, ils ont fait passer des décrets en douce. La CNIL n'a d'ailleurs pas été très courageuse parce qu'à part quelques petits amendements elle a laissé passer ça. Alors que ces derniers autorisent le fichage et la surveillance généralisée de la population à travers tout un tas de moyens. Les drones ont pour l'instant été mis de côté par le Conseil d'État mais je suis sûre qu'ils reviendront là-dessus. Ils créent aussi l'organisation de la délation. On appelle ainsi les citoyens à dénoncer leurs voisins. L'exemple type c'est avec la COVID : dénonciation de ceux qui ne respectent pas le couvre-feu, de ceux qui invitent trop de monde à Noël, etc… La police aura ainsi des relais dans la population. Et là où c'est très grave c'est qu'avec ce système de caméras de surveillance, de fichage, il va permettre d'outrepasser le respect de la liberté d'opinion. Parce que ces fichiers vont contenir vos opinions politiques, vos opinions religieuses et tous les éléments concernant votre vie privée : votre genre, si vous êtes célibataire, ce que vous aimez. La police aurait alors des éléments très forts pour faire pression sur une personne. La même police qui dès aujourd'hui se permet de faire des choses illégales comme fouiller dans votre téléphone lorsque vous êtes en garde-à-vue pour faire pression sur vous. La loi « Sécurité Globale » était censée passer très vite : telle était la volonté du gouvernement et des députés macronistes. Le calendrier a néanmoins été chamboulé par la mobilisation sociale très forte. Après avoir été votée à l'Assemblée par les macronistes, elle ne devrait être débattue au Sénat géré par Les Républicains que mi-mars. Mais la situation reste tendue puisque la loi séparatisme va arriver fin janvier à l'Assemblée avec une stratégie un peu fourbe puisque l'article 24 de la loi sécurité globale sur le droit de diffuser des images des policiers risque de devenir l'article 18 de la loi séparatisme. Comment vous expliquez ces stratégies politiques ? Moi je l'explique par le refus d'entendre. Ce gouvernement a décidé de passer en force et de s'armer. Il sait que sa politique est destructrice des droits sociaux et humains mais il a décidé de passer outre. C'est risqué de faire ça parce qu'il ne faut pas prendre les parlementaires, fussent-ils de droite, pour des idiots. L'opposition est en train de se former, y compris à l'Assemblée et dans les rangs macronistes parce qu'un certain nombre doit penser que cela va trop loin et que trop de monde manifeste son désaccord. Aller manifester malgré la crise sanitaire et les nombreuses critiques concernant les dégradations ayant eu lieu lors de manifestations passées, en quoi est-ce important ? Les manifestations étant en extérieur et la majorité des manifestants respectant le port du masque et les gestes barrière, nous ne pensons pas qu'on se met en danger et que l'on met en danger les autres en venant. Est-ce que vous croyez qu'entre une manifestation à Bordeaux et la fréquentation d'une grande surface le risque est plus élevé ? Je ne le pense pas. En ce qui concerne les dégradations, elles avaient eu lieu hors du parcours de la manifestation qu'on avait déclaré. Mais les gens sont en colère et désespérés. Personnellement je ne pense pas que ça nous sert que la plupart des médias majoritaires passent leur temps à ne parler que des actes des manifestants sans jamais parler de la violence de l'État. Les gens finissent par devenir résignés et restent chez eux. Mais comparer la violence de certains manifestants à la violence des policiers et des atteintes à nos libertés fondamentales ça n'a pas lieu d'être. Certains ont la peur au ventre en venant aux manifestations car ils ont vu des yeux crevés, des coups de matraque, des arrestations. Mais samedi on doit descendre dans la rue, les plus nombreux et nombreuses possible pour empêcher que nos droits fondamentaux et nos libertés individuelles nous soient retirés. Nous sommes en train de passer d'un État qui se dit démocratique à un État autoritaire et même un État policier, qui fonctionne sur la répression et sur la délation. Le 16 janvier c'est donc très important qu'on relance nos manifestations de masse. On a que cette arme-là pour faire retirer la Loi « Sécurité Globale ».

Front musical est l'une des nombreuses émissions d'ERFM. Présentée par Silvestrik, cette émission vous fera découvrir l'histoire de la musique d'un point de vue rarement diffusé sur les ondes conformistes ! La présentation de l'émission : Traditionnellement, le chansonnier-bouffon n'est pas seulement chanteur, il tient un rôle éminement politique. Le problème de l'autorité est prendre les bonnes décisions, donc de garder le contact avec la population. Le bouffon du roi avait donc pour mission essentielle de rappeler au roi ses priorités, de le faire rire sur les problèmes graves, cachés ou occultés par ses conseillers car ils dérangent. Rôle particulièrement délicat. Le dernier bouffon royal disparaît sous Louis XIII, passant la main aux chansonniers qui viennent d'apparaître sur le Pont-Neuf, juste sous les fenêtres du palais du Louvre. Le bouffon s'adressait directement au roi, le chansonnier s'adresse maintenant au roi par l'intermédiaire de l'opinion publique. Et le roi s'intéresse de très près à ce qui est chanté sur le Pont-Neuf puisque son lieutenant de police est chargé de collecter toutes les chansons nouvelles. La Révolution traitera le problème avec la guillotine et le Pont-Neuf y perd son rôle politique. L'émission donne un aperçu très anticonformiste sur la chanson bouffonne contemporaine. De Pierre Dac à Jean Yann, en passant par Serge Gainsbourg. Un détour par la chanson populaire d'identité liquide et automobile, aux antipodes des standards mondialistes, et les célébrités du genre : La Bande à Basile et J.J. Lionel, aussi Licence IV, les Chevaliers du fiel et les Fascagats. Dans un genre plus engagé, ne sont pas oubliés Vincent Lagaf, Claude Barzotti et Les Inconnus. À société agressivement bouffonne, chansonniers talentueusement bouffons. Sont réunis les standards du genre : Coluche, « toujours grossier, jamais vulgaire » ; Patrick Sébastien, dénoncé par la LICRA et le MRAP et Dieudonné, interdit de Zénith par la République et devenu le maître-bouffon des bus. Le rire permet de dissiper les tensions individuelles et collectives, mais interdire aux chansonniers-bouffons d'exercer leur talent ne résoudra pas les problèmes. En ce sens, la chanson ne fait que traduire l'état de la société. C'est ce que veut évoquer cette première émission. Silvestrik Source: https://bit.ly/35oPxqf

This episode reflects the kind of serendipity that can play a role in breakthrough innovation. In this case, it is innovation that could end the chronic pain experienced by amputees. My business partner and I spent nearly 12 years advising senior managers at an organization that used to be named the Natick Soldier Research Development and Engineering Command or NSRDEC. It now is called the CCDC Soldier Center. During our time there, we learned a great deal about soldier survivability and how an unintended first order effect of the body armor worn and the MRAP vehicles used was a soldier survival paradox: there were far fewer fatalities but a far greater number of injuries to soldier extremities, injuries that often resulted in amputations and a lifetime of pain. Living with this pain can be extremely difficult and often leads to immobility or an addiction to narcotic pain killers such as opioids. Tragically, some vets take their own lives when the pain becomes unbearable. Now, here's where the story takes an interesting turn. I produce several podcasts, one of them with two friends who come from very different backgrounds than me. And that diversity is part of the appeal of our show. One of my cohorts, a gentleman named Khalid Beard, is good friends with the manager of a local Dallas watering hole known as Milo's. The manager's name is Tommy Donahue and besides the fact that he has been managing this bar for thirty years, he is also the survivor of a hit and run accident in which his right leg was amputated. Tommy survived the amputation and recovered. But in yet another odd turn of events, the woman who rescued him from dying at the scene of that accident remained unknown to him for 25 years, that is, until a local paper ran Tommy's story and the two were reunited. Tommy's resilience as an amputee motivated him to start an annual charity event named Legapalooza. The proceeds from this event — generated from the sale every year of Tommy's prosthetic limb and as well as copious amounts of alcohol — are given to the Dallas Amputee Survivors Society. My friend Khalid booked us to record multiple episodes of our podcast at this charity event and while there we were introduced to a company that, get this, is on the leading of edge of doing research and development of an electronic pain blocking system designed to enable amputees in pain to avoid the use of any pain medication at all. This venture's founders includes MDs and PhDs from institutions such as Case Western Reserve in Ohio and Baylor White Medical Center in Dallas. They are in the midst of formal FDA trials and came to Legapalooza looking for volunteers to participate in a trial and study. As we interviewed the business development executive, Brie Jackson, I couldn't help but ask about the wounded warriors who might be perfect candidates for this device. She said that she had approached the VA about the device and the trials but couldn't get past the gatekeepers. I told her that we had a way to get the word out to people who could potentially queue up the right introduction to the right people at the VA or elsewhere in the Army. What follows is a brief segment of Brie talking about their device. You can to this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or Google Podcasts. Email: bjackson@neurosmedical.com
How police departments in Hampton Roads justified their Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles is not how they actually used them - when they used them at all.

In response to the horrific murder of George Floyd and the worldwide protests against police brutality that followed, the House Democrats wrote the Justice in Policing Act. The provisions in this bill are our best chance for real change in the 116th Congress. In this episode, we see how the bill would limit military equipment being transferred to cops, create a nationwide public database for information about cops and police departments, and limit the qualified immunity that allows cops to use violence with impunity. We also look at The Dingleberry Method, which is the best play for Democrats to use if they want any of this to become law.

TITLE III: IMPROVING POLICE TRAINING AND POLICIES Subtitle A - End Racial and Religious Profiling Act Sec. 311: Prohibition “No law-enforcement agent or law enforcement agency shall engage in racial profiling." Racial profiling is defined as relying, to any degree, on actual or perceived race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, gender, gender identity, or sexual orientation in selecting which individual to subject to routine or spontaneous investigatory activities. Sec. 312: Enforcement Allows victims of racial profiling to sue in civil courts, either in the state for in a district court of the United States. Subtitle B - Additional Reforms Sec. 361: Training on Racial Bias and Duty to Intervene The attorney general has to establish a training program to cover racial profiling, implicit bias, and procedural justice. The training program must exhibit a clear duty for federal law-enforcement officers to intervene in cases where another law-enforcement officer is using excessive force against a civilian. Sec. 362: Ban on No-Knock Warrants in Drug Cases Search warrants authorized for drug cases would have to require that the law-enforcement officer provide notice of his or her authority and purpose. Sec. 363: Incentivizing Banning of Chokeholds and Carotid Holds States will not receive funding from the Department of Justice unless the state has enacted a law prohibiting officers in the State or jurisdiction from using a chokehold or carotid hold. Chokeholds would be classified as civil rights violations Sec. 364: PEACE Act “Less lethal” force can be used if it’s “necessary and proportional” in order to arrest a person “who the officer has probably cause to believe has committed a criminal offense” and if “reasonable alternatives to the use of the form of less lethal force have been exhausted” Deadly force can only be used “as a last resort” to “prevent imminent and serious bodily injury or death to the officer or another person”, and if the use of deadly force creates no “substantial risk of injury to a third person”, and if “reasonable alternatives tot he use of the form of deadly fore have been exhausted” Officers have to give people a verbal warning that they are a law enforcement officer and that they “will use force against the person if the person resists arrest or flees” Sec. 365: Stop Militarizing Law Enforcement Act Prohibits the 1033 Program from transferring military equipment to domestic law enforcement for “counter drug” and “border security activities” but they can continue to get equipment for “counterterrorism” Would require the police departments to submit to the Defense Department a description of how they intend to use the military equipment, the department would have to publish a notice on their website and “at several prominent locations in the jurisdiction" that they are requesting the military equipment, and have the notices available for 30 days, and that the department has approval to receive the equipment by the city council. Reports on where the equipment goes must be submitted to Congress Prohibits the transfer of controlled firearms, ammunition, bayonets, grenade launchers, grenades (including flash bangs), explosives, controlled vehicles, MRAPs, trucks, drones, combat aircraft, silencers, and long range acoustic devices. The department would be required to return the equipment if they are investigated by the Justice Department or found to have engaged in widespread civil rights abuses Police departments “may never take ownership” of controlled property Applies only to equipment transferred in the future. Subtitle C - Law Enforcement Body Cameras Sec. 372: Requirements for Federal Uniformed Officers Regarding the Use of Body Cameras Requires uniformed officers with the authority to conduce searches and make arrests to wear a body camera. The body camera - vide and audio - must be activated whenever a uniformed officer is responding to a call for service or during any other law enforcement encounter with a member of the public, except if an immediate threat to the officer’s life or safety makes turning the camera on impossible. Officers must notify members of the public that they are wearing a body camera When entering someone’s home or speaking to a victim, the officer must ask if the resident or victim wants the camera turned off and turn it off if requested, if they are not executing a search warrant. Body cameras can not be equipped with real time facial recognition technology Facial recognition technology can be used with the footage with a warrant Body cameras can’t be used to gather intelligence on protected speech, associations, or relations. Body cameras are not required when the officer is speaking to a confidential informant or when recording poses a risk to national security. Body cameras are not allowed to be turned on when an officer is on a school campus unless he/she is responding to an imminent threat of life or health Footage must be retained for 6 months and then permanently deleted Citizens and their lawyers and the families of deceased citizens have the right to inspect body camera footage related to their cases Body camera footage related to a use of force or a civilian complaint must be kept for at least 3 years Redactions can be used Body camera footage retained longer than 6 months is inadmissible in court If an officer interferes or turns off a recording, “appropriate disciplinary action shall be taken” and the interference can be used as evidence in court. Sec. 373: Patrol Vehicles with In-Car Video Recording Cameras In car video camera recording equipment must record whenever an officer is on patrol duty, conducting an enforcement stop, patrol lights are activated, if the officer thinks the recording could help with a prosecution, and when an arrestee is being transported. Recordings must be retained for 90 days. Sec. 374: Facial Recognition Technology In car video cameras can not be equipped with facial recognition technology TITLE IV - JUSTICE FOR VICTIMS OF LYNCHING ACT Sec. 403: Lynching Co-conspirators to a lynching can be sentenced to 10 years in prison Articles/Documents Article: READ: Democrats Release Legislation To Overhaul Policing By Barbara Sprunt, npr, June 8, 2020 Article: Retraction—Hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine with or without a macrolide for treatment of COVID-19: a multinational registry analysis By Mandeep R Mehra, Frank Ruschitzka, and Amit N Patel, The Lancelet, June 5, 2020 Article: Verizon and AT&T Partner With Pro-Police Militarization Lobbying Group By Donald Shaw, Sludge, June 4, 2020 Article: The no-knock warrant for Breonna Taylor was illegal By Radley Balko, The Washington Post, June 3, 2020 Article: 10 Things Dems Could Do Right Now -- If They Actually Wanted To Stop Trump’s Power Grab By David Sirota, Substack, June 2, 2020 Article: De-escalation Keeps Protesters And Police Safer.

Marc Morial: President and Chief Executive Officer of the National Urban League Ben Crump: President and Founder of Ben Crump Trial Lawyer for Justice (lawyer for the family of George Floyd) Transcript: C-SPAN: Part 1 34:15 Vanita Gupta: My tenure as head of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division began two months after 18 year old Michael Brown was killed by a police officer in Ferguson. The Justice Department was hardly perfect, but we understood our mandate: to promote accountability and constitutional policing in order to build community trust. During the Obama administration, we opened 25 pattern-or-practice investigations to help realize greater structural and community centered change, often at the request of police chiefs and mayor's who needed federal leadership. After making findings, we negotiated consent decrees with extensive engagement and input from community advocates, who not only identified unjust and unlawful policing practices, but also helped develop sustainable mechanisms for accountability and systemic change. That is not the Justice Department that we have today. Under both Attorneys General Jeff Sessions and Bill Barr, the department has abdicated its responsibility and abandoned the use of tools like pattern-or-practice investigations and consent decrees. Instead it is focused on dismantling police accountability efforts and halting any new investigations. The disruption of crucial work in the Civil Rights Division and throughout the Department of Justice to bring forth accountability and transparency in policing is deeply concerning. In the absence of federal leadership, the Leadership Conference Education Fund launched the new era of public safety initiative, a comprehensive guide and toolkit outlining proposals to build trust between communities and police departments, restore confidence and imagine a new paradigm of public safety. While much of these changes must happen at the state and local level, success is going to require the leadership support and commitment of the federal government including Congress. Last week, the leadership conference and more than 400 civil rights organizations sent a letter to Congress to move us forward on a path of true accountability. The recommendations included the following: One, create a national necessary standard on the use of force. Two, prohibit racial profiling, including robust data collection. Three, ban the use of chokeholds and other restraint maneuvers. Four, end the militarization of policing. Five, prohibit the use of no knock warrants, especially in drug cases. Six, strengthen federal accountability systems and increase the Justice Department's authority to prosecute officers that engage in misconduct. Seven create a national police misconduct registry. And eight, end qualified immunity. The Leadership Conference was pleased to learn that the Justice in Policing Act introduced Monday by both members of the House of Representatives and the Senate reflects much of this accountability framework. This is Congress's most comprehensive effort in decades to substantially address police misconduct by taking on issues critical issues affecting black and brown communities. 1:02:00 Sherrilyn Ifill: One of the key parts of the system of impunity has been qualified immunity defense that shields officials from the unforeseeable consequences of their act but has been interpreted by courts so ***extensively that it now provides near immunity for police officers who engage and unconstitutional acts of violence. 1:02:45 Sherrilyn Ifill: The Justice and policing act seeks to address qualified immunity by amending the civil rights statute used most in police excessive use of force cases. 42 USC section 1983 and we welcome this amendment. We want it to apply to all civil suits that are pending or filed after enactment of the Act. And we'll continue to work towards the elimination of qualified immunity. 1:24:10 Ben Crump: The only reason we know what happened to George Floyd is because it was captured on video. The advent of video evidence is bringing into the light what long was hidden. It's revealing what black Americans have known for a long, long time - that it is dangerous for a black person to have an encounter with a police officer. Given the incidents that have led to this moment in time, it should be mandatory for police officers to wear body cams and should be considered obstruction of justice to turn them off. Like a black box data recorded in an airplane body cams replace competing narratives with a single narrative, the truth with what we see with our own eyes. C-SPAN: Part 2 3:00 Vanita Gupta: I will tell you there's actually significant law enforcement support for this kind of registry. And prosecutors around the country have asked for this kind of registry. But chiefs in particular have said that this is a real problem when they don't have this kind of information when they're making hiring decisions. 14:00 Sherrilyn Ifill: The principal problems that we have found in this long standing systemic issue of police violence against unarmed African Americans is the inability to hold officers who engage in misconduct accountable. Now, this is not just about the individual officer who some refer to as a bad apple. This is about a system of accountability that must exist if police officers are to understand that they cannot engage in certain kinds of conduct without impunity. And unfortunately, all of the legal tools that are available to us to hold officers accountable, have been weakened or lacked the sufficient strength and language to allow us to do so. So strengthening the language of the federal criminal statute that will not hold us to such a high standard and proving intent of the officers conduct is critical. And so adding a recklessness provision into that language that will allow us to get at some of this officer misconduct is vitally important. 45:00 Rep. Hank Johnson (GA): Mayor Morial, throughout recent times, we've seen repeated instances where black people often unarmed have been killed by a police officer. And if the death results in a use of force investigation, that investigation most often is conducted by the law enforcement agency that employs the officer who used the deadly force. Isn't that correct? Marc Morial: That's traditionally the way it works. Rep. Hank Johnson (GA): And Professor Butler we've also witnessed these use of force investigations being overseen by the local district attorney who works hand in hand, day after day, year after year, with the same officer and with the agency that employs the officer who used the deadly force in the case that's under investigation. Isn't that correct? And attorney Crump we've seen time and time again that the investigation becomes long and drawn out. And at some point, months or even years later, the local Prosecutor takes that case before a secret grand jury. And out of that grand jury usually comes what's called a no bill, which is a refusal to indict the officer who committed the homicide. Isn't that correct? Ben Crump: Yes, sir congressman Johnson. Rep. Hank Johnson (GA): And Professor Butler because grand jury proceeding's a secret, the public never learns exactly what the prosecutor presented to the grand jury. Isn't that correct? Paul Butler: Just like the grand jury proceeding in Staten Island with Eric Garner, who was placed in an illegal chokehold. We have no idea why that grand jury didn't indict that officer for murder. Rep. Hank Johnson (GA): It becomes just another justified killing of a black person by the police in America. Wouldn't it be fairer if the homicide investigation were undertaken by an Independent Police Agency, Attorney Gupta? Vanita Gupta: I think it would. It would also give the community members are much more faith in their legal system if there was an independent investigator in these kinds of cases. 1:41:30 Rep. Tom McClintock (CA): I think there are many proposals that have been raised in the house that merit support. And first is the doctrine of qualified immunity as it's currently applied. It has no place in a nation ruled by laws. For every right, there must be a remedy. And qualified immunity prevents a remedy for those whose rights have been violated by officials holding a public trust. And this reform should apply as much to a rogue cop who targets people because of their race, as it does to IRS or Justice Department officials and target people on the basis of their politics. 1:42:15 Rep.Tom McClintock (CA): Police records must be open to the public. It is a well established principle that public servants work for the public. And the public has a right to know what they're doing with the authority the public has loaned them. And police departments should be able to dismiss bad officers without interference from the unions. 1:42:45 Rep.Tom McClintock (CA): Turning police departments into paramilitary organizations is antithetical to the sixth principle laid down by Peel. Quote, "To use only the minimum degree of physical force which is necessary on any particular occasion for achieving a police objective." Weapons that are unique to a battlefield need to be limited to a battlefield. 1:43:15 Rep.Tom McClintock (CA): No knock warrants have been proven to be lethal to citizens and to police officials for obvious reasons. The invasion of a person's home is one of the most terrifying powers the government possesses. Every person in a free society has the right to take arms against an intruder in their homes. And that means that the authority as a police must be announced before that intrusion takes place. To do otherwise places every one of us in mortal peril. 2:00:45 Vanita Gupta: I think right now there is a hunger in the streets and in communities around the country to recognize that people want other options in their communities other than to call 911 and have a police officer come at the door when people are in mental health crisis, for homelessness issues and school discipline issues. And they want to - and I've heard this from police chiefs. The International Association of Chiefs of Police issued a very powerful statement two days ago, recognizing the systematic decades of underinvestment in the kinds of social systems in housing and homelessness and education, and how that's all been placed at the feet of police officers. This needs to be a holistic evaluation of what spending priorities have been in communities that have been saturated with a criminal justice response, but under invested with resources for education and jobs, and the like. 2:39:00 Rep. Greg Stube (FL): But there are proposals in this bill that are extremely dangerous for those who protect our communities. Removing qualified immunity is only... Qualified immunity is only a protection if officers follow their training and protocols. If they don't follow the training and protocols, they don't get to use the immunity because it's qualified. If officers don't have qualified immunity to follow the training and protocols. I don't know a single person who would want to become a law enforcement officer in today's world, knowing that they may or may not be able to use the training and protocols that they were used to be able to apprehend a suspect who is not complying with them. But maybe that's the goal of the majority to get less and less people to join our law enforcement offices. 2:59:00 Vanita Gupta: Justice Department currently only has one law that they can use to prosecute police misconduct. And as you said, it has the highest mens rea requirement there is in criminal law requiring not only that prosecutors prove that the officer used unreasonable force, but actually also that the officer knew that what he or she was doing was in violation of the law and did it anyway, that is actually a very high burden. And so for years, there have been case after case that the Justice Department has been unable to reach it because of how high this burden is. There are many criminal civil rights prosecutors that for years have also wanted the change that is being proposed in the Justice in Policing Act, because I think it would enhance the Justice Department's credibility in these matters to be able to hold officers who violate federal civil rights laws accountable. And so this Justice in Policing Act asks it change the mens rea standard to knowingly or with reckless disregard, to slightly lower standards so more cases will be charged. It also really importantly broadens the language of the federal civil rights statute by including in its definition of a death resulting from an officers action, any act that was a substantial factor contributing to death. And I know many, many former US Attorneys that are eager to see this change as well. 3:07:00 Vanita Gupta: It is a real shame that in 2020, we still do not have adequate data collection on use of force in this country. We've had to rely for several years on journalists to putting this stuff together at the Washington Post and at The Guardian. The FBI has started to try to more systematically collected it, but this bill, the justice in policing act actually includes a requirement for states to report use of force data to the Justice Department, including the reason that force was used. Technical Assistance Grants are established in this bill to assist agencies that have fewer than 100 employees with compliance. That was often the reason that that police agencies were not reporting on this, but it also requires the Attorney Generals to collect data on traffic stops, searches, uses of deadly force by federal, state and local law enforcement agencies, and to disaggregate that data by race, ethnicity and gender. 3:26:00 Vanita Gupta: This national registry would have misconduct complaints. It would have discipline termination records, it would have records of certification. It contains conditioning for money for funds from so that agencies actually have to put in inputs before they can access federal money, but it is high time for this to happen. 3:39:20 Vanita Gupta: The Trump DOJ has essentially abandoned and abdicated a mandate that was given by Congress in 1994 to investigate patterns and practices of unconscious, systemic, unconstitutional policing and police departments around the country. Since the administration began, there has been the opening only of one on a very tiny issue at the police department out of Springfield, Massachusetts, compared to 25 in the Obama administration, and many others in Republican and Democratic administrations prior to that. And so what that has meant is that the tool of these investigations, the tool of the consent decrees has just been lying dormant. Typically, when I oversaw the Civil Rights Division, we had mayors and police chiefs that really, in numerous instances, were actually asking the Justice Department to come in because they needed federal help in very bad situations. And so, jurisdictions have not been able to rely anymore on the Justice Department to support these kinds of efforts. And I think this bill, Justice in Policing does a lot to strengthen the Civil Rights Division's authority, giving it subpoena power, giving it resources. It also gives State Attorneys General the ability to do these patterns and practices where they have already state laws that allow them to do it as well. And that's, of course in this moment, with a justice department that is very disengaged from these issues. An important... Hearing: Oversight of Federal Programs for Equipping State and Local Law Enforcement, United States Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, September 9, 2014 Watch on C-SPAN Witnesses: Alan Estevez - Principal Deputy Defense Under Secretary for Acquisition, Technology & Logistics Brian Kamoie - FEMA Grant Programs Assistant Administrator Peter Kraska - Professor at the School of Justice at University of Eastern Kentucky Mark Lomax - National Tactical Officers Association Executive Directior Transcript: 26:00 Alan Estevez: More than 8,000 federal and state law enforcement agencies actively participate in the program across 49 states in three US territories. More than $5.1 billion of property has been provided since 1990. 26:15 Alan Estevez: A key element in both the structure and execution of the program is the state coordinator, who is appointed by the respective state governor. State coordinators approve law enforcement agencies within their state to participate in the program, review all requests for property submitted by those agencies along with the statement of intended use. Working through state coordinators. Law enforcement agencies determine their need for different types of equipment and they determine how it's used. The Department of Defense does not have the expertise and police force functions and cannot assess how equipment is used in the mission of individual law enforcement agencies. 27:14 Alan Estevez: Law enforcement agencies currently possess approximately 460,000 pieces of controlled property that they have received over time. 27:20 Alan Estevez: Examples of control property include over 92,000 small alarms 44,000 night vision devices 5200 High Mobility Multi Purpose wheeled vehicles or Humvees and 617 mine resistant ambush protected vehicles or MRAPs. The department does not provide tanks, grenade launchers, sniper rifles, crew served weapons or uniforms. 28:20 Alan Estevez: During the height of Superstorm Sandy in New Jersey, police drove cargo trucks and three Humvees through water too deep for commercial vehicles to save 64 people. In Wisconsin, Green Bay police used donated computers for forensic investigations. During a 2013 flood in Louisiana, Livingston parish police used six Humvees to rescue 137 people. In Texas armored vehicles received through program protected police officers during a standoff and shootout with gang members. 30:35 Brian Kamoie: The department's preparedness grant programs assist communities across the nation to build and sustain critical capabilities to prevent, protect, mitigate, respond to and recover from acts of terrorism and other catastrophic events. 33:00 Brian Kamoie: Grant recipients must purchase equipment listed on the department's authorized equipment list, which outlines 21 categories of allowable equipment. The department prohibits the use of grant funds for the purchase of lethal or non lethal weapons and ammunition. These equipment categories are not on the authorized equipment list. Homeland Security grant funds may be used to purchase equipment that can be classified as personal protective equipment, such as ballistics protection equipment, helmets, body armor, and ear and eye protection. Response vehicles such as BearCats are also allowed. The Homeland Security Act allows equipment purchased with grant funds, including personal protective equipment to be used for purposes unrelated to terrorism. So long as one purpose of the equipment is to build and sustain terrorism based capabilities. 33:46 Brian Kamoie: The authorized equipment list also notes that ballistic personal protective equipment purchased with grant funds is not for riot suppression. 40:10 Alan Estevez: When it's no longer needed, we make it available not just cross levels across the Department of Defense first, and law enforcement by congressional authorization as dibs early in that process before it goes out to state agencies. And not all the equipment that's provided to law enforcement is available to everyone else. 40:45 Alan Estevez: Again, it's not for the department to really judge how law enforcement's...that's not our expertise. We rely on the state coordinators, appointed by the governor of each of those states who vet incoming requests from their local law enforcement agencies. 48:00 Coburn: How do you all determine what Federal Supply classes are available to be transferred? Alan Estevez: That is done basically by our item managers who... Coburn: I know, but tell me how do they decide MRAPs appropriate for community of my hometown, 35,000 people. Alan Estevez: that is done by the state coordinate... Coburn: I understand that but how did you ever decide that an MRAP is an appropriate vehicle for for local police forces? Alan Estevez: We know an MRAP is a truck senator with Coburn: No it is not a truck. It's a 48,000...offensive weapon. Alan Estevez: It's a very, very, very heavy...it is not an offensive weapon, Senator. Coburn: It can be used as an offensive weapon. Alan Estevez: When we give an MRAP, it is stripped of all its electronic warfare capability. It does not have a 50 caliber weapon on it. It is not an offensive weapon, is a protective vehicle. 49:15 Coburn: How do we ever get to the point where we think states need MRAPs. How did that process come about? Alan Estevez: Now this is one of the areas that we're obviously going to look at senator. How we decided what equipment is available. I mean, obviously we've made some big decisions, fighter aircraft tanks, strikers, those type of things are not available. Sniper Rifles - not available. Grenade launchers - not available. Coburn: Drones are available. Alan Estevez: No. Coburn: Airplanes are available. Alan Estevez: Airplanes are available. Cargo helicopters. Helicopters, not Apaches. Okay. Coburn: But but really you you can't tell us today how we make those decisions of what goes on the list and off the list. Alan Estevez: It's basically a common sense decision inside the department and then we do as I keep saying go back to the states. 50:15 Coburn: When something is removed from the list, and I don't know if you have any recent experience with this, are agencies are required to return the restricted equipment. Alan Estevez: That's why we retain title for what we call controlled equipment so that we can pull that equipment. 57:00 Alan Estevez: So as force structural changes, as our budget changes, things that we thought we would need, were are no longer needed. Or things that we bought for the war. And I'm not not talking about tactical rifles and like I'm talking about basic medical kits, that type of stuff may no longer be needed as we draw down force structure based on changing environment on the ground. PCA changes our force structure, things that we required will no longer be needed as that force structure changes. That's the basic reason. 58:30 Senator McCaskill: The Lake Angeles Police Department in Michigan, you gave them 13 military assault weapons since 2011. They have one full time sworn officer. So one officer now has 13 military grade assault weapons in their police department. How in the world can anyone say that this program has a one lick of oversight if those two things are in existence? Alan Estevez: I'll have to look into the details on each of those. The rule of thumb is one MRAP validated by the state coordinator for a police department that requests an MRAP no more than one. So I'd have to look at the incident in Senator Coburn's state. And same thing with rifles...weapons. Senator McCaskill: I will make part of the record the list we have a long list of law enforcement agencies that received three times as many 5.56 and 7.62 military grade weapons per for full time officer and this is a long list. 1:05:00 Senator Johnson: This program, which has apparently provided about $5.1 billion of free equipment since 1997. It's all been free, correct? Alan Estevez: Yes. It's not free to the taxpayer. We bought it used it on... Senator Johnson: Free to local governments, correct? Alan Estevez: That's correct. Senator Johnson: Free local to police departments. Alan Estevez: Yes, sir, Senator. Senator Johnson: Do you know if too many police farms return free things down? Alan Estevez:Again, I'm not in the position of a local police department, but if something was available, and they thought they needed it, because they have to sustain this equipment, if they thought they needed it, and it was useful to them. Why not? 1:23:15 Rand Paul: In FEMAs authorized equipment lists, there's actually written descriptions for how the equipment should be used. And it says it's specifically not supposed to be used for riot suppression. Mr. Kamoie? Is that true that it's not supposed to be used for Riot suppression? And how do you plan in policing that since the images show us clearly, large pieces of equipment that were bought with your grants being used in that Riot suppression? Protest suppression, rather. Brian Kamoie: Senator Paul, that is accurate. The categories of personal protective equipment that include helmets, ear and eye protection, ballistics personal protective equipment, is a prohibition in the authorized equipment list that is not to be used for riot suppression. Rand Paul: And what will you do about it? Brian Kamoie: We're going to follow the lead of the Department of Justice's investigation about the facts. We're going to work for the state of Missouri to determine what pieces of equipment were grant funded, and then we have a range of remedies available to us. Should there be any finding of non compliance with those requirements. Those include everything from corrective action plans to ensure it doesn't happen again. recoupment of funds. So we'll look very closely at the facts. But we're going to allow the investigation to run its course and determine what the appropriate remedy is. 1:25:20 Rand Paul: Mr. Estavez in the NPR investigation of the 1033 program, they list that 12,000 bayonets have been given out. What purpose are bayonets being given out for? Alan Estevez: Senator, bayonets are available under the program. I can't answer what a local police force would need a bayonet for. Rand Paul: I can give you an answer. None. So what's the what's President Obama's administration's position on handing out bayonets to the police force? It's on your list. You guys create the list. You're going to take it off the list. We're going to keep doing it. Alan Estevez: We are going to look at what we are providing under the administration's review of all these programs. Rand Paul: So it's unclear at this point whether President Obama approves of 12,000 bayonets being given out. I would think you can make that decision last week. Alan Estevez: I think we need to review all the equipment that we're providing Senator. And as I said, we the Department of Defense do not push any of this equipment on any police force. The states decide what they need. 1:26:00 Rand Paul: My understanding is that you have the ability to decide what equipment is given out and what equipments not given out. If you decided tomorrow, if President Obama decided tomorrow that mine resistant ambush protection 20 ton vehicles are not appropriate for cities in the United States. He could decide tomorrow to take it off the list. You could decide this tomorrow. My question is, what is the administration's opinion on giving out mine resistant ambush protection 20 ton vehicles to towns across America? Are you for it or against it? Alan Estevez: Obviously we do it senator we're going to look at that. I will also say that I can give you anecdotes for mine resistant ambush protected vehicles that protected police forces in shootouts. Rand Paul: But we've already been told they're only supposed to be used for terrorism, right? Isn't that what the rule is? Alan Estevez: Our rule is for counter-drug, which could have been the shootout I'd have to look at the incident. Counter-narcotics counter-terrorism. 1:28:00 Rand Paul: The militarization of police is something that has gotten so far out of control and we've allowed it to descend along with a not a great protection of our civil liberties as well. So we say we're going to do this, it's okay if it's for drugs. Well look at the instances of what have happened in recent times. The instance in Georgia just a couple of months ago, of an infant in a crib getting a percussion grenade thrown in through a window in a no knock raid. Turns out the infant obviously wasn't involved in the drug trade, but neither was even the infant's family - happened to have been the wrong place the wrong time. No one's even been indicted on this. So really, this is crazy out of control and giving military equipment and with a breakdown of the whole idea of due process of no knock raids and not having judges issue warrants anymore. You can see how this gets out of control and people are very, very concerned with what is going on here. And I see the response so far to be lackluster, and I hope you will do a more complete job in trying to fix this. Thank you. 1:32:20 Ayotte: Is there any coordination between the grants that homeland is giving in light of what the departments are receiving on the 1033 front? Brian Kamoie: We don't coordinate in the decision making about local law enforcement requests. The process that Mr. Estevez has laid out, we don't coordinate that at all. 1:51:40 Peter Kraska: The clear distinction between our civilian police and military is blurring in significant and consequential ways. The research I've been conducting since 1989 has documented quantitatively and qualitatively the steady and certain marks of U.S. civilian policing down the militarization continuum. Culturally, materially, operationally, and organizationally, despite massive efforts at democratizing police, under the guise of community policing reforms, the growth in militarized policing has been steep and deep. In the mid 1980s, a mere 30% of police agencies had a SWAT team. Today well over 80% of departments, large and small, have one. In the early 1980s, these these agencies conducted approximately 3,000 deployments a year nationwide. Today, I estimate a very conservative figure of 60,000 per year. And it is critical to recognize that these 60,000 deployments are mostly for conducting drug searches on people's private residences. This is not to imply that all police, nearly 20,000 unique departments across our great land, are heading in this direction. But the research evidence along with militarized tragedies in Modesto, Georgia, Ferguson and tens of thousands of other locations, demonstrates a troubling and highly consequential overall trend. What we saw played out in the Ferguson protests was the application of a very common mindset, style of uniform and appearance and weaponry used every day in the homes of private residences during SWAT raids. Some departments conduct as many as 500 SWAT team raids a year. And just as in the two examples above, and in the Ferguson situation, it is the poor and communities of color that are most impacted. 1:54:00 Peter Kraska: I mentioned that police militarization predates 911 this is not just an interesting historical fact it is critical because it illuminates the most important reason or causal factor in this unfortunate turn in American policing and American democracy. It is the following: our long running an intensely punitive self proclaimed war on crime and drugs. It is no coincidence that the skyrocketing number of police paramilitary deployments on American citizens since the early 1980s, coincides perfectly with the skyrocketing imprisonment numbers. We now have 2.4 million people incarcerated in this country, and almost 4% of the American public is now under direct correctional supervision. These wars have been devastating to minority communities and the marginalized and have resulted in a self perpetuating growth complex. Cutting off the supply of military weaponry to to our civilian public is the least we could do to begin the process of reining in police militarization and attempting to make clear the increasingly blurred distinction between the military and police. Please do not underestimate the gravity of this development. This is highly disturbing to most Americans on the left and the right. 1:57:30 Mark Lomax: The threat that firearms pose to law enforcement officers and the public during violent critical incidents has proven that armored rescue vehicles have become an essential as individually worn body armor or helmets in saving lives. 2:11:30 Peter Kraska: The Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 had been in place untouched for quite a long time until the 1980s drug war. And it wasn't until the 1980s drug war it was actually the Reagan administration that wanted to completely repealed Posse Comitatus. But what instead happened is they just amended it significantly, to allow for cross training and weapons transference. And just as an aside, I don't want to make too much of an aside, but we also have to remember that the Department of Defense has been very actively involved in training local police departments as well, not just providing them equipment, but providing them training. I've got a great quote that if you, I'm not going to read it now, but if you asked me to read it, I will. that talks about even having navy seals and Army Rangers come to a local police department and teach them things. So it's not just weapons transference. The federal government has increasingly since 911 played a significant role in accelerating these trends towards militarization. And, you know, the extent to which the 1033 program, Department of Homeland Security funds, etc, have contributed to it. I would certainly call it significant. But I think we have to remember that the that the militarized culture have a component of policing, and it's just a component of policing. This isn't a unified phenomenon at all of police in the United States of America. Hell, we have a police department right next to us, Lexington PD, very smart, very wise. They don't do this kind of thing at all, and they would never do it. So the police in communities a bit split over this. And I don't want anybody to get the impression because of the experts we've heard that policing is all for this stuff, because it's just not true. There are lots of folks that aren't. Anyway, back to federalisation. So, I think the federal government's played a significant role in probably the last 10 to 14 years. 2:14:10 Peter Kraska: This had everything to do with prosecuting the drug war. And that's when we saw the precipitous rise in not only the number of SWAT units but the amount of activity. That's when we saw departments doing 750 to 1000 drug raids per year on people's private residences. That's when we saw police departments all over the country in small little localities sending off two or three officers to a for profit training camp, like Smith and Wesson or Heckler and Koch getting training and coming back to the department and starting a 15 officer, police paramilitary unit with no clue what they were doing whatsoever. That all happened as a part of the drug war. 2:26:50 Peter Kraska: Oftentimes, these kind of conversations devolve into an either or type of argument. And it's really critical to recognize that there are absolutely lots of situations. Columbine, for example, where you have to have a competent professional response, a use of force specialist, military, Special Operations folks, police special, whatever you want to call them, you have to have that, no doubt. What I was talking about was 60,000 deployments, as I was not talking about 60,000 deployments. For those situations. Those situations are incredibly rare. Thank goodness, they're incredibly rare. Those situations absolutely require a competent response, active shooter, terrorist, whatever kind of situation. Our research demonstrated conclusively that 85% of SWAT team operations today are proactive, choice driven raids on people's private residences 85%. What that means is that the original function of SWAT in the 1970s was the idea that SWAT teams were to save lives, they were to respond in a laudable way to very dangerous circumstances and handle the circumstances well. What happened during the 1980s and early 1990s drug war is that function flipped on its head. We went from these teams predominantly doing reactive deployments, maybe one to two of these in an entire municipality, one to two a year. Smaller jurisdictions, probably something like that wouldn't happen in 100 years, but they were there to handle it. This has devolved now into what I'm talking about widespread misapplication of the paramilitary model. 2:29:00 Peter Kraska: 50% of these small police departments... 50% of them are receiving less than 50 hours of training per year for their SWAT team. The recommended amount from the MTOA used to be 250. I think they've reduced it to 200. 250 hours versus 50 hours. These are not well trained teams. These are a localized 18,000 police departments all doing their own thing with no oversight and no accountability. And that's why we're seeing and we have seen hundreds of these kinds of tragedies that I've mentioned, but also lots of terrorized families that have been caught up in these drug operations and drug raids. Thank you. 2:35:30 Peter Kraska: Military gear and garb changes and reinforces a war fighting mentality amongst civilian police, where marginalized populations become the enemy and the police perceive of themselves as a thin blue line between order and chaos that can only be controlled through military model power. 2:47:50 Peter Kraska: Most police departments that handle civil protests correctly know that the last thing you want to do is instigate. It was just a wonderful article written in the Washington Post, it interviewed a whole bunch of Chiefs of Police that understand this and how you sit back and you don't antagonize and you certainly don't display this level of weaponry. Hearing: Police Brutality, United States House Judiciary Subcommittee on Civil and Constitutional Rights, March 20, 1991 Witnesses: John Dunne: Assistant Attorney General of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division Transcript: 6:00 Rep. Howard Coble (NC): It would be my hope that this matter could be resolved internally in Los Angeles. The fear I have about what occurred on the coast is that many people are probably going to try to bash every law enforcement officer in the country. That's what bothers me. And I don't think this is an accurate portrayal of law enforcement in this country. 30:15 Rep. Henry Hyde (IL): I know civil rights prosecutions nationwide by year, compiled from annual Department of Justice Statistics, and in 1990, there was 7,960 complaints received and 3,050 investigations. I take it, a great number of the complaints were found to be without merit or beyond investigation, but cases presented to the grand jury or grand juries were only 46. So out of 3,050 investigations there were only 46 that you felt worth taking to a grand jury was that right. Mr. Dunn? John Dunne: Mr. Hyde in light of all of the circumstances, specifically, the key being whether or not the federal state interest had been vindicated. Yes, about one and a half percent, usually runs about 2% a year, of the complaints we receive actually go to prosecution.

Jon Winker was on the Podcast today. His story and what he's doing now is really impressive and I throughly enjoyed talking to Jon. We talked about his path into the military, deployment, and his passion project. Jon was injured in Iraq, he got ran over by an MRAP. After 3 years he ended up losing his leg below his knee. But his story didn't end there. Jon started a Nonprofit for amputee veterans and they race cars with special modifications to assist them. I am very impressed by Jon and his continuous mission to help veterans and his community. https://www.resilienceracingfoundation.org

The Honorable Deborah Lee James has served in senior homeland and national security management, policy, and program positions in the US Government and private sector for more than 35 years. She has led and transformed large-scale enterprises, including a $2 billion private sector entity and a $140 billion government agency, the U.S. Air Force. Today she serves on several for-profit and not-for-profit organizations; provides strategic advice to a variety of firms; and speaks on matters of national security, leadership, and other topical areas. She is also the author of "Aim High: Chart Your Course and Find Success" Deborah had wanted to work in the State Department and had thought she had done everything right to make that happen, but when she applied, she wasn’t selected. This came as a huge surprise to her but eventually found a job working for the department of the Army. It was at this job she found her first mentor. He helped by opening doors to opportunities and giving her advice on her career. One of her first big career opportunities was to be an intern at the White House in the 1980s. She also worked on the staff of the house armed service committee. She then went to work for the Assistant Secretary of Defense specifically on Reserve Affairs. She left the civilian-military workforce for 15 years, but then from 2013 to 2017 came back as the Secretary of the Air Force. She left government service after 17 years and made the switch to the private side expecting it to be an easy transition where she would have no problem succeeding. She ended up having a few bad bosses before finally finding a fit at SAIC. One of her jobs was managing the MRAP program to get the MRAPs out to the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. This program brought tremendous purpose. Within the first few months of becoming the Secretary of the Air Force, a cheating scandal within the Nuclear community was uncovered. And although it only included a handful of people it brought to light cultural issues that needed to be addressed and changed. She also worked on diversity and inclusion with a big focus on opening jobs and making it easier for women to do jobs. While also working on work-life balance and changing the maternity program. We also talked about a few topics that are covered in the book Air High: Chart Your Course and Find Success ranging from the importance of outsourcing, Knowing what is important to you, and positive and negative role models that helped push her to be who she is today.

Mike Strahle, 34, of Westerville served in the Iraq War in 2005 with the Marine Corps' Columbus-based Company L (known as Lima Company), 3rd Battalion, 25th Regiment, as part of Regimental Combat Team 2. Strahle was with the unit when it conducted anti-insurgency operations in Iraq's Al Anbar province along the Syrian border and later helped launch Operation Matador (the Battle of Al Qaim) on May 8, 2005. Strahle returned to the United States with injuries he had sustained when the vehicle he was riding in was hit by a roadside bomb May 11, 2005. He is the executive director of the Eyes of Freedom, a traveling exhibit of portraits, painted by then-Ohio artist Anita Miller, depicting the 22 Marines and one Navy corpsman who died in Iraq with Lima Company. The exhibit also includes a bronze sculpture, "The Silent Battle," which characterizes the struggle of veterans adapting to civilian life. Strahle said he knew those who died in Iraq while serving with Lima. He was born and raised in Bryan and graduated from Bryan High School in 2003. His interest in the military was motivated by the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and "the gut feeling of helplessness when you're seeing the United States attacked in a way that hadn't happened in my lifetime." He said he was interested in becoming an officer and joined the ROTC program at Ohio State University. "They made it sound like my ... officer career would be ... much better suited if I had some enlistment time under my belt first," he said. He joined the Marine Corps Reserve when he was "young and still pretty angry about 9/11." Lima preceded its Iraq deployment with two months in California, training in security, surveillance and urban operations and getting used to a hot climate. Upon arriving in Iraq, the unit conducted a number of missions in cities, he said. "We were getting intelligence from any number of sources over there where these insurgents were moving," he said. "An insurgent tactic at the time was to take over part of a city or a few houses on a block" while trying to avoid the Marines, he said. During Lima's operations -- many conducted at night -- insurgents would engage the Marines or flee and then would be engaged or rounded up, he said. "That was the pace early on. ... We were always busy," he said. "But Operation Matador was completely different." The Marines had intelligence about major strongholds in certain cities, and Matador would be a large offensive task force, he said. Lima was prepared "for pretty much the whole city to be angry with us ... or to be prepared for our arrival." The unit began mobilizing before sunrise May 8, "engaging in fairly heavy combat most of the day," with a few men injured by machine guns or hand grenades, he said. During what probably would have been the last house clearing of the day, Cpl. Dustin Derga and Sgt. Anthony Goodwin were killed. Lance Cpl. Nicholas Erdy, who was killed later in the deployment, "performed amazingly" and pulled several wounded men from the house before it was hit by an Air Force bomb, Strahle said. Derga, Strahle said, was a team leader. "He was a very close friend of mine and one of the funniest guys in the platoon," he said. But "when things would go wrong, he had this uncanny ability to flip a switch" and change from "the class clown" to a "damn fine Marine," he said. Derga was killed by machine-gun fire while approaching the house, Strahle said. Several tank rounds were fired into the house before Goodwin took a team inside, Strahle said. The insurgents had prepared a dug-in fortified area inside, Strahle said, and while the tank rounds probably left the insurgents "blind, deaf and dumb," they were still alive. From a lower level, he said, "they opened up fire right through the floor," killing Goodwin and injuring two or three others. Goodwin was a veteran of the Marines' 1st Force Reconnaissance Company, Strahle said, and was "the one to teach us we really didn't know anything and we needed to listen up." Goodwin's capability and effectiveness as a leader led officers to give his unit several offensive tasks, Strahle said. "We had the intelligence, and we knew that this whole city was basically bad guys," Strahle said. "We were ordered to protect the civilian population there as best we could, and we did. We did a phenomenal job." On May 11, Strahle was riding in an assault amphibious vehicle second or third in line in a convoy. The AAVs, which were fully tracked amphibious landing vehicles, had no windows, so a ceiling hatch was opened to allow three or four Marines to stand on a bench with their heads and chests outside the hatch to improve observation of the surrounding area. Strahle was standing in the open hatch when an improvised explosive device "blew up right under my feet," he said. The blast killed six of the 16 or 17 on board and threw Strahle into the air. He landed face first in a ditch and began to bandage his injured stomach after failing to find his missing gun. The unit's Navy corpsmen, "who were asked to do a lot with very little, ... hands down, they saved my life," he said. With chest, leg and intestinal injuries, Strahle was put on an Army Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter 20 minutes after the explosion. He underwent surgeries in Germany before being transferred to the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, where his family was waiting for him. On Aug. 3, 2005, 14 men with Lima were killed by a roadside bomb. The effect of that incident, Strahle said, "rang all the way up to military generals and the president." The Marines' AAVs had no protection from explosions beneath the vehicle, he said, but the already-developed MRAP (mine-resistant ambush-protected) vehicles did. The military expanded its use of MRAPs and began to rely more on helicopters to move troops between cities, despite the higher costs, he said. "Fourteen guys had to pass to just to kind of put an exclamation point on the problem," he said. Upon Lima's return to Columbus in October 2005, the unit received an enthusiastic welcome. Thousands of residents lined Hamilton Road, waving rain-dampened signs and cheering as Lima's motorcade traveled from what was then Port Columbus International Airport to Rickenbacker International Airport. Strahle said he received a communitywide welcome home when he returned to Bryan. He had a coaching job and later worked at JPMorgan Chase & Co. but soon realized he was drinking too much. Miller debuted her Eyes of Freedom exhibit -- life-size portraits of Lima's fallen -- in 2008 at the Ohio Statehouse. In 2011, Strahle asked her if the portraits could be displayed at a Pickerington fundraiser honoring Derga. Previously, the exhibit was on display for several months at a time, each at a different site. With Strahle's involvement after the Pickerington event, the Eyes of Freedom became a traveling display that since has made nearly 300 stops around the U.S. The display has a healing effect on all veterans, he said, including those from the Vietnam War. "The Silent Battle" sculpture depicts the postservice struggles of veterans and honors those lost to suicide, he said. Otherwise, "they're not treated the same way. They're not memorialized the same way," he said. Strahle, who retired from the Marines in 2007, said veterans who are struggling to adjust to civilian life should reach out to other veterans for support. "As soon as I got involved with Eyes of Freedom, it just kind of made it better," he said. Strahle's decorations include the Purple Heart, the Combat Action Ribbon, the Meritorious Service Medal, the Iraq Campaign Medal, the Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary and Service Medals and the Armed Services Reserve Medal.

By: Gord Brody // Human Rights Watch From the end of World War II, through the Cold War, the fall of the Soviet Empire and even to this day, the United States has commonly been called “The World’s Policeman.” It’s not always a compliment and is actually being rebuked from those on the left and the right of the political spectrum. The direction this incumbency is headed is debatable, but one very troubling effect of the explosion of U.S. military activity since 9/11 is what’s happening back home. The mentality of the “warrior cop” comes straight from overseas, where we’ve been at war since 2001. Many soldiers, who returned home, have joined their local police forces, only to find themselves using some of the same tactics, weapons and vehicles on American city streets that were used in Fallujah, Baghdad and Kabul. We have become a police state. Militarized Police The single largest factor in the transformation of the peace officer in to an antagonistic, menacing force, is their acquisition of military style weapons, armor and vehicles. Grants from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have given municipal police departments and county sheriff’s offices access to heavy artillery, battle training and the famed Lenco Bearcat, which is essentially a tank. These vehicles cost in the neighborhood of $200,000 and weigh 8 tons. The Bearcat sounds like a necessary vehicle for navigating a war zone, but what about a small town? A grant from DHS would have brought a one to the streets of Keene, NH, a sleepy community of 23,000 people. That was, until the citizens got wind of it in advance and put the whole thing to a stop. Keep in mind, that this is the absolute exception. Usually the Bearcat finds its way to these small towns one way or another, whether the people living and working there like it or not. In February 2012, however, the citizens of Keene said a resounding “No.” Below is an excerpt from Autoblog.com: The Keene, NH, police department was going to get its own Lenco BearCat, a vehicle the town’s mayor reportedly described as a “tank.” However, citizens in the town of 23,000 revolted, according to the article, with nearly 100 of them packing a city council meeting in opposition. Critics said the vehicle promoted violence, and cited a promotional video for the BearCat that shows gun-wielding cops using one of the armored trucks to knock down the door of a house and spray tear gas inside. The issue is scheduled to come up again at next month’s meeting. A $285,933 grant from DHS would pay for the eight-ton military truck. The Huffington Post cites a report from the Center for Investigative Reporting stating that $34 billion of similar grants have been issued since Sept. 11, 2001. A Lenco spokesman criticized some of the citizens who spoke out against his firm’s vehicle, calling them “crazy.” It’s quite bold to call people in a small New Hampshire town “crazy,” for rejecting this type of policing in their streets. Lenco Bearcat pictured below The “Homeland” is now the Battlefield Post 9/11 paranoia about a large terrorist attack being a possible outcome in just about every corner of the United States has lead to a swift and thorough repeal of basic constitutional rights, for innocent American citizens, in the name of security. The examples are everywhere and impossible to miss. The Patriot Act (2001): This legislation, passed just 6 weeks after the September 11th attacks was a shredding of the 4th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. It explicitly states that Americans or visitors in our country have no expectation that they are to be secure in their person, papers and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures. We are no longer free from warrants being issued against us without probable cause. What this has all deteriorated in to is the Federal Government, through the National Security Agency (NSA) holding a virtual monopoly on data transmitted electronically through the internet, EMail, Cell Phones and many other devices. They then share this info with local police and it casts a very wide electronic dragnet, which few, if any are able to escape. The revelations by Edward Snowden in 2013 rung the alarm bell for the entire developed world that the NSA was collecting all the data, phone calls, texts and any other imaginable information under the guise of “security.” DHS Agency, TSA, Begins Aggressive “Groping” Searches of American Men, Women, Children and the Elderly: Air travel in the U.S. has come to be defined by one single incendiary experience: The TSA (Transportation Security Administration) groping pat down. Through a series of enhanced measures which are claimed by DHS to be “designed to prevent another 9/11” , airport security in this country has gone from a mild annoyance to something that many have described as sexual assault. The subjects of enhanced security measures could be anyone from a suspicious looking child to a wheelchair bound senior citizen who are selected, supposedly at random, to be stripped down, groped, fondled and humiliated. This is done just so that there can be no doubt in the mind of the screener that this person is not carrying some sort of weapon or bomb. Essentially, they’ve decided that the average American is a potential terrorist, with no evidence to support that claim. Keep in mind that TSA alone employs 60,000 people and their annual budget is nearly $8 Billion dollars. This is a giant bureaucracy who spends more money than entire countries like Canada, Spain and Australia just on security in airports. DHS Purchases Billions of Rounds of Ammo: If our loss of rights and dignity wasn’t enough to scare the average American whose become accustomed to the poor treatment by their Federal Government, what about the fact that they are arming themselves to the teeth? Last year, Forbes confirmed that 1.6 Billion rounds of ammo were being purchased, not by the U.S. Army, but by the Department of Homeland Security. Let that sink in for just a minute. In addition to that, they’re also buying up the steroid addicted cousin to the Lenco Bearcat, the MRAP. That same write up in Forbes from March of 2013 has the details: Add to this perplexing outré purchase of ammo, DHS now is showing off its acquisition of heavily armored personnel carriers, repatriated from the Iraqi and Afghani theaters of operation. As observed by “paramilblogger” Ken Jorgustin last September: The Department of Homeland Security is apparently taking delivery of an undetermined number of the recently retrofitted 2,717 ‘Mine Resistant Protected’ MaxxPro MRAP vehicles for service on the streets of the United States.” These MRAP’s ARE BEING SEEN ON U.S. STREETS all across America by verified observers with photos, videos, and descriptions.” Regardless of the exact number of MRAP’s being delivered to DHS (and evidently some to POLICE via DHS, as has been observed), why would they need such over-the-top vehicles on U.S. streets to withstand IEDs, mine blasts, and 50 caliber hits to bullet-proof glass? In a war zone… yes, definitely. Let’s protect our men and women. On the streets of America… ? “They all have gun ports… Gun Ports? In the theater of war, yes. On the streets of America…? Seriously, why would DHS need such a vehicle on our streets?” Indefinite Detention Without Trial (NDAA 2012): Not so hidden within the bill that is passed every year to fund the military operations of the United States, otherwise known as the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), was an indemnity for American citizens to be held indefinitely without trial or even notification to their families in a military tribunal. Section 1021 authorizes such actions and has been highly scrutinized since its signing by President Obama just after midnight on New Years Day 2012. It’s an unprecedented move to allow for executive authority to completely bypass the court system and the U.S. Constitution in the face of a perceived threat by an individual. This is yet another swift erosion of rights once enjoyed by all, which are now subject to review and revision at the stroke of a pen.
Thinking he would go to college & follow a much different path, Alex Juedes ended up “dropping out” to follow in his father’s footsteps & become a Marine. He loved being a Marine in fact. But, on January 25, 2014, Alex Juedes was manning an MRAP gun turret in Afghanistan when an RPG slammed into the feed tray of his machine gun. Immediately, his right hand was gone and he was bleeding from shrapnel piercing his femoral artery. Alex made it out of Afghanistan alive though, but would never return to the Marine Corps as a rifleman. If he had to do it all over again, he says he would head right back to Afghanistan to fight as an infantry Marine. He speaks humbly of his injuries & what he endured half a world away & back at home. But deep within is a warrior spirit that truly shines through in this episode. He is now helping others exponentially & giving back to those who followed a similar path, returning from combat never to be the same as when they left, through his non-profit, Purple Heart Cruise. This is a special episode, with an incredible warrior, that you don’t want to miss! www.purpleheartcruise.org Support the podcast by supporting our sponsors at www.hazardground.com/sponsors!
