Jim and Mike dig into David Kilcullen's The Dragons and the Snakes to explore how modern adversaries—from rogue states to criminal networks—are adapting faster than ever to Western tactics, tech, and psychology. Drawing from Kilcullen's insights and a CIA review of the book, they unpack the idea that our enemies are evolving because of us—we're shaping their strategy, and sometimes not in the way we want. From guerrilla warfare and liminal conflict to use-of-force doctrine and law enforcement tactics, this episode connects military theory to street-level realities. Are we in a new kind of war without even knowing it? And what are we teaching our opponents every time we act?

"Give Outdoor Learning" is a first of its kind, statewide campaign that creates nature-based outings for the public. And because many programs are at risk due to budget cuts, it's also a fundraising campaign similar to Colorado Gives Day. CPR's Jenny Brundin speaks with an organizer from the Colorado Alliance for Environmental Education and two young adults who share how nature has changed them. Then, five years after a state law took effect, why is it still a challenge to track use of force by Colorado law enforcement? And later, sorting out senior living options with Aging Matters. 

Episode Summary: This week we're taking a deep dive into deterrence, specifically deterring China from using force in space. Air University's China Aerospace Studies Institute (CASI), in partnership with the Center for Naval Analysis (CNA), just released a new report exploring this topic. Results suggest that the U.S. security establishment has serious room for growth. Their experts analyzed ten different factors that assessed how the U.S. can deter China, but only two were rated in a favorable light. The rest need more development. While conflict in space is not inevitable, the folks at CNA and CASI found that we've got a long way to go when it comes to boosting our ability to deter conflict on orbit. To help us understand the report, its findings, and its recommendations, Charles Galbreath and Jennifer Reeves of the Mitchel Institute chat with Dr. Kevin Pollpeter of CASI, plus Dr. April Herlevi and Elizabeth Barrett of CNA.

The use of force by law enforcement remains one of the most scrutinized and debated aspects of policing. While officers receive extensive training on force applications, public perception and policy shifts often reshape how they can respond to threats. In this episode of the Policing Matters podcast, host Jim Dudley speaks with Joshua Coleman, vice president of the California Force Instructors Association (CALFIA), about the importance of evidence-based training, legislative challenges and why officers often find themselves caught between policy expectations and real-world dangers. In the discussion, Coleman explains why CALFIA was founded, the challenges of navigating force policies in a post-2020 landscape and how California's legislative changes have impacted officers' decision-making in critical incidents. He also highlights how misconceptions about techniques like the carotid restraint have led to policy decisions that, while well-intentioned, may ultimately put both officers and suspects at greater risk.

In this episode of the Biblical Anarchy Podcast, Jacob revisits the pilot episode and foundational themes of the show, offering a refined and expanded exploration of biblical anarchy. He clarifies what "biblical anarchy" means by emphasizing the primacy of Scripture in Christian political thought, arguing that all authority must be evaluated against God's word. He traces the historical development of anarchist thought from Proudhon to Rothbard and explains how these ideas intersect with biblical principles. Diving into passages like 1 Samuel 8 and Romans 13, Jacob challenges common interpretations that justify centralized human authority, arguing instead that the Bible warns against monopoly governance and calls for a decentralized, just approach to human authority.Jacob also engages in a theological critique of the state, demonstrating how its coercive nature contradicts biblical principles of justice and proportionality. He addresses key objections, including the role of taxation and Jesus' statement about rendering unto Caesar, showing how these issues align with a Christian libertarian perspective. Through careful exegesis and historical analysis, this episode serves as a refreshed introduction to the podcast's mission—challenging statist assumptions and calling Christians to align their views on governance with the teachings of Christ.Full Episode Show Notes at BiblicalAnarchyPodcast.comThe Biblical Anarchy Podcast is part of the Christians For Liberty Network, a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute.Audio Production by Podsworth Media.

State Terror is a primary theme on this show – often emphasizing the myriad things that go wrong when cops enter a situation they are not built for, trained for, or even wanting to engage in. One of those situations is mental health crisis. Around fifty percent of all folks murdered by law enforcement are physically disabled or experience mental health issues. When those issues intersect with Black bodies – as we saw with the police killing of Sonia Massey for example – the encounters are too often fatal. A new report shows that, beyond the incidents in which policing leads to the death of individuals dealing with mental health crises, use-of-force experiences are extremely high among people interacting with police while experiencing a mental health issue, and that number is significantly higher for Black men in particular. Our guests today are two of the journalists behind that new report. Josh McGhee is an investigative reporter covering the intersection of criminal justice and mental health with an emphasis on public records and data reporting. He is the Chicago Bureau Chief for MindSite News, a nonprofit journalism organization focused on mental health. Audrey Azzo is a project manager, researcher and investigative reporter, focused on data driven reporting on human rights abuses.

Send us a textGood evening everyone. It's evening as I record this special solo episode of the Cops and Writers Podcast.Why do a solo episode? Good Question. I have been super busy taking care of my wife who had a total knee replacement surgery a couple of days ago. She's a tough cookie but needs a little help from me and that has put most things on the back-burner, including this podcast. So, I thought it would be a good idea to answer some questions from the Cops and Writers Facebook group with stories from my career in law enforcement. In today's episode we discuss: ·       The impending release of The Good Collar. Getting the cover to conform with Amazon, and releasing the paperback, then the hardcover, and then the Kindle version very soon!! Some reviews have already come out on Goodreads, with an average of 4.5! For Goodreads that is awesome! Thanks to everyone who was a beta and ARC reader!·      Fred Snyder asks: Current day United States. How much/what kind of paperwork is involved if a Federal officer (FBI, USSS, DHS) draws his/her gun? Doesn't fire it, just draws it. ·      Connie Albus asks:  A husband and wife are found dead, both with bullet wounds but the coroner is not sure if the husband murdered his wife then committed suicide due to the angle of the bullet wounds on him, or if it was a double murder.  On the coroner's report would it show hers as "homicide" and his as "homicide/suicide"?  or other wording?  Thanks for the help.  (story takes place in the USA) _(added the remains were found in a burned building). Rich Rybicki and Scott Morales did a great job answering and I added that we never assume anything, it's a double homicide until it isn't. The totality of the circumstances comes into play here. Were there any 911/DV calls at the address? Did they find a gun, if so, where was it? Is there a motive, such as an impending divorce or other problems? Any history of calls of one of them having a mental illness crisis? Was there a note? There was a fire, so that might be tricky. Witness statements or video? ·      Allison Holland-Ray asks: In modern times, Portland, Maine, I have a suspect who's pointing his gun at two bystanders, while three officers all point their weapons at him. What is the protocol for getting him to drop his weapon? Right now, I have written that the officers are talking to him and they put their weapons down to show they are willing to talk.

Summary In this episode of the Trainers Bullpen, host Chris Butler interviews Dr. William Bozeman, a leading expert in law enforcement use of force and injury epidemiology. They discuss the findings of Dr. Bozeman's research on police use of force, particularly focusing on Taser use and Vascular Neck Restraint (VNR). The conversation highlights the importance of understanding the actual rates of injury associated with various use of force modalities, the methodology behind the research, and the implications for law enforcement training and public safety. Dr. Bozeman emphasizes the need for evidence-based practices in policing and the significance of high-quality research in shaping policies and training programs. The research strongly contradicts the popular narrative that police use of force is climbing or ‘out of control'. Takeaways • Dr. Bozeman's research focuses on injury epidemiology related to police use of force. • Taser use has been shown to rarely cause significant injuries. • 98% of subjects involved in use of force incidents had no or mild injuries. • Vascular Neck Restraint (VNR) has a remarkably high success rate with no fatalities in the study. • Police do not use force very often, with less than 1% of interactions resulting in force. • High-quality research is essential for informing law enforcement policies and training. • Courageous conversations about the effectiveness and necessity of certain tools, like batons, are needed as agencies continue to modernize their policing practices.

Tennessee family's lawsuit says video long kept from them shows police force, not drugs, killed sonhttps://apnews.com/article/lethal-restraint-police-tennessee-austin-hunter-turner-ca8b91c2f3dc9584094c6fc835d49deb AP News, By jeff Martin, on August 16, 2024Why did more than 1,000 people die after police subdued them with force that isn't meant to kill?AP News by john Seewer on March 28, 2024A recent investigation led by the Associated Press, the Howard Center for Investigative Journalism at the University of Maryland, Arizona State University, and Frontline PBS has uncovered that over a thousand individuals have died in encounters with police involving non-lethal force. This extensive report highlights systemic issues within law enforcement, including inadequate training, insufficient data transparency, and the pervasive "blue wall of silence" that obstructs accountability. The investigation reveals a troubling pattern where the use of force, even when deemed non-lethal, often leads to fatal outcomes, emphasizing the urgent need for reform.The discussion raises critical questions about whether certain personality types are drawn to policing roles that might not suit their temperament. Some argue that policing attracts individuals who seek power and control, potentially leading to abusive behavior. This view suggests that a careful selection process and improved training are essential to ensure that those who enter the profession are fit for its demands. The conversation also touches on the broader issue of community policing versus an adversarial approach, especially in the context of the war on drugs, which has exacerbated the us-versus-them mentality in law enforcement.The investigation revealed that out of the thousand deaths studied, only 28 police officers faced charges, and fewer than 200 cases resulted in settlements. This statistic underscores a significant issue: holding officers accountable is often hindered by political sensitivities and systemic resistance. For example, the case of a 23-year-old man who died after being placed in a prone position by police officers, despite having a history of seizures, illustrates how inadequate training and improper handling can lead to preventable deaths. The delay in disclosing the true cause of death to the victim's family further compounds the issue.In the debate over policing, there is a middle ground between the "defund the police" movement and the "back the blue" stance. While acknowledging the need for effective law enforcement, the conversation also highlights the necessity of reforming police practices. The experience from Victoria, Australia, where a royal commission led to significant changes in police procedures, serves as a model for how transparency and accountability can reduce incidents of excessive force.The role of body cameras in policing is another focal point. Recording police interactions provides transparency and can prevent misconduct, but it also offers a clearer view of the dangerous situations officers face. The panel discussion emphasizes that while body cameras can help protect both civilians and officers, they are not a panacea. Instead, they are a tool that, when combined with proper training and oversight, can contribute to more effective policing.Ultimately, the conversation points to a need for a balanced approach to policing, one that includes proper training, accountability, and a reassessment of resource allocation. The discussion suggests that while some level of defunding or restructuring might be necessary, it is crucial to ensure that resources are redirected to areas that support effective and fair law enforcement. This includes investing in training for handling mental health crises and reconsidering the militarization of police forces.The Non-Prophets, Episode 23.37.3 featuring Infidel 64, AJ, Damien H and Aaron JensenBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-non-prophets--3254964/support.

Kim Potter, the former Brooklyn Center police officer who shot and killed Daunte Wright in 2021, was scheduled to lead a training workshop on use-of-force for a law enforcement board in the state of Washington in September.

FRONTLINE and The Associated Press, in collaboration with the Howard Centers for Investigative Journalism, investigate deaths that occurred after police used tactics like prone restraint and other “less-lethal force.” The documentary and accompanying reporting draw on police records, autopsy reports and body cam footage, offering the most expansive tally of such deaths nationwide.
