Former police officer and Pig Latin Eric Tansey author reacts to shocking bodycam footage of a Michigan lawnmower chase where a fleeing suspect pulls a gun, is tased, and accidentally shoots himself. Get expert breakdown of tactics, use of force, and split-second decisions. Jackson, Michigan — On September 19, 2024, Deputy Robert Henderson arrived at a home in Leoni Township to arrest 41-year-old James Mitchell Kerr on a felony probation violation and two misdemeanor warrants. Kerr was riding a lawnmower when the deputy approached and ordered him to stop. Instead of complying, Kerr accelerated the mower until he reached a ditch — and then the situation took a dangerous turn. Kerr retrieved a handgun hidden on the mower, prompting Deputy Henderson to deploy his Taser. In the chaos, Kerr discharged the firearm and shot himself in the hand. Backup officers quickly arrived, took Kerr into custody, and transported him to the hospital before transferring him to jail. He now faces multiple charges, including assault with intent to murder and resisting arrest, with the case advancing to trial in Jackson County Circuit Court.

On today's episode we debated a call by new Garda Commissioner Justin Kelly to issue ALL GARDAí with taser guns. A lot of people love the idea, but some, who don't trust the force, are wary.

The new Garda Commissioner Justin Kelly is considering whether frontline Gardaí should carry taser guns. Tasers are already used by specialist units in the force, but could arming the frontline curb violence in the State? To discuss further we heard from Christy Galligan, Retired Garda Sergeant and Local Peace Commissioner in Donegal and Dr Pat Leahy, Former Garda Assistant Commissioner for Dublin.

Nel Vicentino è ancora più vivo che mai il dibattito sull'introduzione del taser nella dotazione della polizia locale. A fronte della decisione del consorzio di Polizia Locale Ne.Vi. di adottare il taser, si sono levate voci contrapposte: da un lato il sindaco di Thiene, Giampi Michelusi, promotore della misura; dall'altro la Federazione di Vicenza di Rifondazione Comunista, che ne denuncia i rischi.

El gobierno del Frente Amplio autorizó a Carabineros la compra de pistolas taser, armas eléctricas no letales, tras cinco meses de retraso. Esta decisión busca proporcionar a los funcionarios policiales una herramienta adicional para enfrentar situaciones de violencia intrafamiliar o delitos menores, como robos de celulares. A pesar de la oposición inicial de organizaciones como Amnistía Internacional, el INDH y el Frente Amplio, finalmente se dio luz verde para la adquisición de estas pistolas taser, después de un largo debate que se remonta al año 2017.

This week we hear some details about the a potential project for temporary housing at the Kodiak Island spaceport, the Coast Guard has commissioned its second new cutter homeported in Kodiak, the service intercepts Chinese vessel in the Bering Sea, the Coast Guard's Healy is back in Kodiak for now, the Asian Grocery store celebrates 30 years in Kodiak, and the police department has new Tasers.

Kansas City police Officer Matt Masters first used a Taser in the early 2000s. He said it worked well for taking people down; it was safe and effective. “At the end of the day, if you have to put your hands on somebody, you got to scuffle with somebody, why risk that?” he said. “You can just shoot them with a Taser.”Masters believed in that until his son Bryce was pulled over by an officer and shocked for more than 20 seconds. The 17-year-old went into cardiac arrest, which doctors later attributed to the Taser. Masters' training had led him to believe something like that could never happen. This week on Reveal, we partner with Lava for Good's podcast Absolute: Taser Incorporated and its host, Nick Berardini, to learn what the company that makes the Taser knew about the dangers of its weapon and didn't say.

America loves the story of a hungry entrepreneur with a dream. But how far is too far, and what forces shape and warp their best intentions? Journalists and documentarian Nick Berardini reports the story of Axon Enterprises and its founders Rick and Tom Smith, hyper-aggressive entrepreneur siblings who tap into the financial opportunity of creating an American paramilitary police state. Rick Smith's willingness to disregard grave safety and public policy issues nearly destroys his relationship with his brother and alienates countless colleagues. Yet, he has become a multi-millionaire many times over - even as more than 1,000 U.S. citizens have been killed by police officers using the company's Tasers.Drawn from key interviews, whistleblowers, and substantial archival materials,Absolute: Taser Incorporated investigates the fraught relationship between the Smith brothers and reveals how their choices ultimately betray the police, the public, and even each other.EPISODES AVAILABLE HERE:Https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-absolute-275471765/ Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

When officers respond to a call that seems routine — like a mental health check — they often have no idea how quickly that encounter could escalate. For Officer Alessandra Winterbauer of the Lincoln (Nebraska) Police Department, what began as a calm conversation with a confused subject turned into a life-or-death confrontation. Her ability to remain composed and rely on recent virtual reality training helped avoid a deadly outcome and led to her recognition with Axon's 2025 Jack Cover Save of the Year Award. Officer Winterbauer and a colleague were dispatched to check on a man experiencing a possible mental health crisis. After a calm 20-minute conversation, the man abruptly asked, “If I come at you guys with a knife, will you shoot me?” Moments later, he sprinted toward officers. Winterbauer deployed her TASER 10 from over 30 feet away — just minutes after completing VR-based TASER training. Her successful response neutralized the threat without serious injury, demonstrating the real-world value of immersive, high-frequency training.

“He didn't say he wanted to die. He said he didn't give an F about dying. That's different.” — Victoria Camille. In this powerful and deeply sobering episode of the Detroit is Different podcast, host Khary Frazier sits down with Victoria Camille of the Coalition for Police Transparency and Accountability (CPTA) to examine the disturbing details surrounding the July 12, 2024, shooting death of Sherman Lee Butler. “Nothing about this looks like self-defense to me.” — Khary Frazier. Sherman Butler was killed during an eviction at his apartment on Manderson St., near Palmer Park in Detroit. He was tased by Detroit Police officers and then fatally shot by a Wayne County Bailiff—while recovering from foot surgery and experiencing mental distress. “We all have a story. Show compassion. Sherman deserved to live.” — Victoria Camille What You'll Learn in This Episode: Detailed Analysis of the Footage: Victoria Camille and Khary Frazier analyze the DPD-released bodycam footage, breaking down how the incident escalated—despite clear protocol violations. Critical Facts Revealed: The bailiff used a DPD-issued radio improperly. DPD officers did not follow policy requiring them to control the scene. Mental health teams were called but failed to respond promptly. Tasers were used on a person visibly in mental and physical distress—against DPD policy. A DPD officer read the eviction notice, an act outside of their scope. “Nothing about this looks like self-defense to me.” — Khary Frazier “This wasn't just a policy failure; it was a moral one.” — Victoria Camille After Months of Advocacy: The community organized protests, FOIA requests (led by Taura Brown), and weekly meetings demanding transparency. On December 23, 2024, a partial video was finally released. Victoria Camille's Op-Ed led to a formal Citizen Complaint, triggering a deeper investigation by the Board of Police Commissioners' Office of the Chief Investigator. Policy Violations Found: At least 10 DPD policy violations identified by the OCI. Mental health co-response teams were eating at McDonald's while the call was active. The bailiff continued to conduct evictions after the shooting. What the Community Demands: Accountability from DPD, Wayne County Prosecutor, and the media. Clarity on reforms for Bailiffs and Officers. Passage of the Video Release Ordinance by MLK Day 2026—requiring release of all use-of-force videos within 7-37 days. Stay Informed. Stay Active.

Text Our Show HostsTonight, we're continuing our discussion on current threats that people may be faced with all around the globe, but with a slight twist… Self-Defense, without the body bags.Guys, look around. The world is on edge. Radical groups are turning peaceful protests into dangerous riots. Smash'n grab-style robberies and looting are taking place in broad daylight in places you'd least expect it. Law enforcement is stretched thin or worse, told to stand down and not engage. The rule of law in most major cities is teetering on a knife's edge, literally and fearless emboldened criminals are terrorizing people for no reason except that they can.You've seen the headlines. Hell, you may have been part of the headlines. Civil unrest isn't a “what if” anymore. It's a right now. It's already happening. So many preppers throughout the years have been saying that they're pepping for civil and social unrest. Well good on ya… cuz it's here. Global conflict levels have worsened in recent years. There's an increase in political violence. Global influence and power is fragmenting, creating conditions for further conflict, according to intelligence.High inflation, wealth inequality, assaults on democracy and civil liberties, open borders and illegal immigration, cartels, paid rioters, agent provocateurs, and clashing ideologies.The world is at an inflection point… a turning point. And regardless of which way it goes, we need to be able to defend ourselves.Y'all should know by now, and be used to the fact that we train with firearms, for self-defense. We Keep and Bear arms. But what about those who cant Keep and Bear arms…? Maybe it's geography… maybe it's a legality… maybe it's just about being uncomfortable around firearms. OR…That's where Less Than Lethal comes into play. Tasers, pepper sprays, riot batons, non-lethal launchers. These aren't toys, they're tools. Tools that buy you time, space, and options when your world becomes threatening. Tools that stop the threat without landing you in court, or worse, a body bag.Less Than Lethal has its place in self-defense, because not every defensive action needs to end in bloodshed.That's what were talking about tonight so, Let Get To It…Visit HoneyComb Holler on YouTubeTOPSBunker.comPlease Visit Our Affiliate Links to Find Great Preparedness Products:SABRE Crossfire Pepper Spray Police-Strength CS 2-PackSABRE Frontiersman MAX Bear Spray 40ft Range w/HolsterBYRNA Less-Lethal Kinetic Projectile Launcher KitByrna Banshee Personal Safety Alarm 130db Military GradeAmend2 G10 Self-Defense PenAtomic Bear Stealth Tactical Pen for Self-DefenseVIPERTEK VTS-989 Stun Gun w/Flashlight - RechargeableBig Rig Defense Hickory Stick Tire Thumper Baton Weighted TipShe's Birdie Personal Safety Alarm Key Chain 130 dbKOSIN Personal Alarm 6-Pack 140 dbMIMY Tactical Self Defense KnifeMUNIO His & Hers Self Defense KSupport the show

Florida Woman Sentenced to 366 Days in Husbands Hospital Room Killing Amid Emotional Testimony    A 78-year-old woman who shot and killed her terminally ill husband in his hospital bed last year was sentenced Friday to just over a year in prison, followed by 12 years of probation, in a case that has raised complex questions about mercy, mental health, and public safety. Ellen Gilland pleaded no contest to manslaughter with a firearm and three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in the January 2023 shooting death of her 77-year-old husband, Jerry Gilland, at Advent Health Hospital. She was sentenced to 366 days in state prison, receiving credit for 42 days already served. Circuit Judge Kathryn Weston also ordered her to write apology letters to the nurse and first responders she pointed a firearm at after the shooting. “I held the gun behind his ear. I pulled it away and asked him if he was sure,” Gilland said in court. “He raised his hand, placed it on my arm, and pushed the gun to his head. There was a loud bang, and he was gone.” Her account suggested a pact between the couple, though prosecutors argued that Gilland's actions endangered numerous others. After shooting her husband, she barricaded herself in the hospital room for hours, prompting a standoff with police. Bodycam footage showed officers pleading with her to surrender while she allegedly pointed her revolver at them. At one point, she reportedly fired a second shot into the ceiling as police deployed a flashbang and Taser. Though the Taser was ineffective, officers eventually subdued Gilland without further injury. Inside her hospital room, police found a box containing 45 live rounds. An additional 100 rounds were discovered in her vehicle. A nurse who was present during the incident, Hector Aponte, testified that he was so traumatized he left his job and still suffers from nightmares. “I didn't feel safe anymore,” he told the court. That testimony weighed heavily on Judge Weston's decision. “I can't begin to understand how difficult it would have been for you to actually pull the trigger to assist your husband in ending his own life,” she said. “I do believe that's what you did. But I also believe your actions put others at serious risk.” Originally charged with first-degree murder, Gilland eventually reached a plea deal in December. Her defense team argued that she was driven by a mental health crisis triggered by her husband's deteriorating condition. A psychiatrist testified that her depressive episode had passed and that she no longer posed a danger. Two nieces pledged to care for Gilland upon her release, promising a firearm-free environment and transportation to court. Despite the defense's plea for leniency, prosecutors emphasized the broader threat Gilland posed by bringing and discharging a firearm inside a full hospital. “This case is troubling,” the prosecution said. “She loved her husband. But she made a decision that jeopardized lives.” Outside court, Gilland's niece Bo Timme expressed surprise at the outcome. “I really thought I'd be bringing her home today,” she told WESH. “I'm shocked. I'm very worried about her. But I'm told it's fair and actually a good outcome.” Gilland is expected to serve the remainder of her sentence at a Florida correctional facility before beginning probation.  Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Just days after Memphis Mayor Paul Young declared that crime is dropping and the city is getting safer, a disturbing incident unfolded. A 25-year-old man, Trenton Abston, was arrested for allegedly attempting to kidnap the mayor outside his home.Authorities say Abston was caught with a TASER, rope, duct tape, and gloves — raising serious questions about his intentions and the mayor's security. The arrest happened just one day after Young responded to ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith's controversial comments about safety concerns in Memphis.What does this mean for the city's leadership, its image, and public safety? We break down the full story, timeline, and reaction from officials and the community.

Former Fulton County Jail guard faces federal civil rights charges for, what prosecutors say, is her use of a Taser on pre-trial detainees and subsequent lies to cover it up; Escalation in war between Iran and Israel divides Georgia Republicans; and paying honor to Juneteenth.

Aujourd'hui, Joëlle Dago-Serry, Antoine Diers et Etienne Liebig débattent de l'actualité autour d'Alain Marschall et Olivier Truchot.

The media is reporting that a person pretending to be a police officer who shot two Minnesota Democrat politicians and their spouses—killing state Rep Melissa Hortman, along with her husband, and severely wounding state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife—has been identified as Progressive fanatic Vance Luther Boelter.  Boelter was an associate of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, the failed Vice-Presidential candidate, who had appointed Boelter to a government development board.  Boelter, who presents as extremely Caucasian, was also reportedly active in the group “Minnesota Africans United.” Apparently Boelter had dressed himself as a police officer, wore a bullet proof vest, carried a Taser, and drove a car that resembled a police vehicle. Although Boelter remains on the run, inside his vehicle police found a political manifesto with a “death list” of various politicians, and many flyers for the Progressive “No Kings” riots scheduled for this weekend. Hortman and Hoffman are believed to have become his targets because they recently broke with their Democrat colleagues and voted to end free healthcare for illegal migrants in the state.  It is also rumored that Hortman had been planning to switch parties to become a Republican.Get Your FREE Copy of Our Best-Selling Book: "The Law of Self Defense: Principles"Visit Here: https://lawofselfdefense.com/getthebook"You are wise to buy this material.

Story of the Week (DR):The Baby Billionaire Bromance is Over: Savannah Guthrie Says Elon Musk and Donald Trump Are 'Giving 7th Grade Girl' as President Says Tesla CEO 'Has Lost His Mind'"It's so confusing isn't it? So much going wrong, so much to say, and all of it happening so quickly. The pace of oppression outstrips our ability to understand it. And that is the real trick of the Imperial thought machine.”BlackRock removed from Texas boycott list after quitting climate groupsIn a notable reversal, Texas removed BlackRock from its investment blacklistThis decision followed BlackRock's withdrawal from several climate-focused initiatives, including the Net Zero Asset Managers alliance and Climate Action 100+Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar cited these actions, along with BlackRock's support for the new Texas Stock Exchange, as reasons for the delisting.“More than $4 billion in Texas funds are invested with BlackRock,” the rep said.The Larry Fink-led company had $11.55 trillion in assets under management at the end of the fourth quarter in 2024.0.0346% Is that possible?Larry Fink; $31M; $11M bonus: “These amounts represent the discretionary annual cash Bonuses … The amount of incentive compensation awarded … was based on subjective criteria”“Lead in a changing world: Completed the creation of a more modern and unified Corporate Affairs function and leveraged the function to refresh the firm's corporate narrative and strengthen its brand.”“Corporate sustainability: Achieved BlackRock's 100% renewable electricity match goal and enhanced the Company's approach to procuring market solutions.”32% said NO on Pay (BlackRock owns 6% of BlackRock)99% said NO to Bowyer Research's theatrical request for a report on “risks related to a perceived shift away from a traditional understanding of fiduciary responsibility to stakeholder capitalism, implied by its assent to the Business Roundtable's Statement on the Purpose of a Corporation, as well as a high-profile embrace of ESG and DEI.”BlackRock CEO Larry Fink has some words of wisdom for leaders navigating the age of populism and social media: Watch what you say: "You have to be a lot more guarded. I can't say everything I really want to say to all of you right now. The reality is you have to be a lot more systematic in what you say and how you say it internally or externally. I mean, we live in a terrarium today. We live in a glass bottle."Big brands are pulling back on Pride merchandise and events this year MMCorporate America Pulls Back from PRIDE in 2025, No Rainbow Logos from Big Brands as June StartsUnitedHealth Group AGM:94% average director support93% Stephen HemsleyHemsley is stepping forward to acknowledge the fallout and chart a new course, promising a comprehensive review of some of the company's most controversial practices.The Wall Street Journal noted in its report on the company's annual shareholder meeting on Monday that Hemsley apologized for UnitedHealth's recent performance and cited a need to rethink many internal processes.99% for directors like Paul Garcia (2021/ former CEO of Global Payments) and Kristen Gil (2022/former VP, Business Finance Officer at Alphabet)92% for Michele Hooper (2007/Lead Independent Director/CEO of The Directors' Council, a private company she co-founded in 2003 that works with corporate boards to increase their independence, effectiveness and diversity)-12% gender influence gap/only 3 women/zero committee chairs)Lowest vote is John Noseworthy, M.D. (86%) former CEO of the Mayo Clinic40% NO on PaySHP excessive golden parachutes 13% YESThe board authorized the payment of a cash dividend of $2.21 per share, up from the prior dividend of $2.10, to be paid June 24 to common stock shareholders of record as of the close of business June 16Hemsley: as of the proxy date: $2.8M (as of 5/16: $3.8M)The previous dividend was $2.10 per share, paid on March 18, 2025The company also suspended its 2025 outlook.Goodliest of the Week (MM/DR):DR: The Trump EPA tried to bury some good newsA climate report acquired by a Freedom of Information Act request shows that U.S. climate pollution declined in 2023.The EPA report documents that in 2023, U.S. climate pollution fell by 2.3%. That's about 147 million metric tons, or MMT, of reduced carbon dioxide-equivalent greenhouse gases.2023 was the first full year after President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act, the Democrats' signature climate law that committed hundreds of billions of dollars to reducing climate pollution.DR: How a Peruvian farmer's legal defeat raised new risks for companies DRPeruvian farmer Saúl Luciano Lliuya filed a lawsuit against German energy company RWE, asserting that the company's greenhouse gas emissions contributed to the melting of glaciers near his hometown of Huaraz, Peru.This glacial melt increases the risk of flooding from Lake Palcacocha, threatening his community. Lliuya sought approximately $17,500 from RWE, representing 0.47% of the estimated $4 million needed for flood defenses, corresponding to RWE's estimated share of global emissions since the industrial era began. On May 28, 2025, the Higher Regional Court in Hamm, Germany, dismissed Lliuya's lawsuit. The court acknowledged the legal principle that major greenhouse gas emitters can be held liable for climate-related damages. However, it concluded that the specific threat to Lliuya's property was not sufficiently imminent to warrant compensation. While Lliuya did not secure the compensation sought, the court's recognition of potential corporate liability for climate damages sets a precedent. This acknowledgment may influence future climate litigation, encouraging individuals and communities to hold major emitters accountable for their contributions to climate change.MM: HahahahahahahahahaMusk says SpaceX will decommission Dragon spacecraft after Trump threatElon Musk Melts Down, Claims Trump Is In The "Epstein Files" and That's the Reason They Haven't Been ReleasedElon Musk Declares That He's "Immediately" Cutting Off NASA's Access to SpaceMusk Privately Complaining That His Immense Donations to Trump Didn't Even Buy Him Control of NASAElon Musk claims ‘without me, Trump would have lost the election'Assholiest of the Week (MM): Proxy advisorsZevra TherapeuticsISS added, “...the board's concerns about having a former CEO on the board and potential disruption are valid.”Out of 92,594 active directors in MSCI data from February, 3,123 are tagged as “former executives” at the company they're on the board of522 US companies are on the list - FIVE HUNDRED AND TWENTY TWOThat includes at least one company - National Healthcare Corp - with FOUR former executives on the boardIt also includes 104 large cap companies - like Hewlett Packard, with 3 former execs!Glass Lewis highlighted, “Mr. Regan has limited, dated, and unrelated public board service,”Egan-Jones also questioned the relevant expertise of Mangless' nominees, stating, “…we do not believe Mr. Regan's background in proxy solicitation offers meaningful value in the context of Zevra's boardroom.”Unrelated public board experience??

On April 4, 2022, Grand Rapids Police Officer Christopher Schurr, who happens to be white, made a traffic stop of Patrick Lyoya, who happens to be black. Lyoya was passively non-compliant from the start, and quickly escalated to violent resistance to the stop.Ultimately, Schurr and Lyoya would be on the ground fighting for control of Schurr's Taser, when Schurr finally pulled his service pistol and shot Lyoya in the back of the head.Now, more than three years later, the since-fired Schurr is on trial charged with murder in the death of Lyoya, with opening statements beginning today.Join me LIVE as I stream each day's trial proceedings, providing world-class use-of-force law insight into this chaotic and lethal fight between yet another white law enforcement officer and yet another violently non-compliant black suspect.#PatrickLyoya #ChristopherSchurr
