Two Cops One Donut
We were asked “what exactly is the point of this show?”Answer: social media is an underutilized tool by police. Not just police, but firefighters, DA’s, nurses, military, ambulance, teachers; front liners. This show is designed to reveal the full potential of true communication through long discussion format. This will give a voice to these professions that often go unheard from those that do it. Furthermore, it’s designed to show authentic and genuine response; rather than the tiresome “look, cops petting puppies” approach. We are avoiding the sound bite narrative so the first responders and those associated can give fully articulated thought. The idea is the viewers both inside and outside these career fields can gain realistic and genuine perspective to make informed opinions on the content. Overall folks, we want to earn your respect, help create the change you want and need together through all channels of the criminal justice system and those that directly impact it. This comes from the heart with nothing but positive intentions. That is what this show is about.

This LIVE STREAM podcast can be found on YouTube if you’d like to follow along visually. Ever wonder how a law enforcement officer can merge humor, education, and public safety? Frank Sloup, from the Pinal County Sheriff's Office, gives us a behind-the-scenes look at his popular segment, Fridays with Frank. With his unique blend of comedy and traffic enforcement, Frank shares his approach to engaging the public, balancing the serious nature of his job with a touch of entertainment. Alongside hosts Erik Lavigne and Banning Sweatland, the discussion ventures into Frank's off-duty pursuits, including his merchandise and social media endeavors, while reflecting on controversial interactions and the podcast’s commitment to examining the criminal justice system.
Our conversation takes a powerful turn as we celebrate the milestones of a pioneering former SWAT officer who smashed gender barriers in law enforcement during the late 90s and early 2000s. Amidst this inspiring narrative, we lighten the mood with stories about creative uses for unconventional equipment holders and the community-driven fundraising efforts through metal badges. From tactical tales of high-speed chases involving Dodge Challengers to engaging stories of officers rescuing distressed animals, we unravel the complexities and camaraderie inherent in police work, highlighting the dedication and supportive spirit within the ranks.
We also tackle the intricacies of sovereign citizen encounters, law enforcement's nuanced tactical decisions, and the risks associated with non-lethal options. The episode not only delves into the serious aspects of policing like the Albuquerque police shooting case but also finds room for humor and camaraderie in discussions around martial arts and conflict resolution strategies. Engaging with our audience, we foster an interactive experience that celebrates the heroic, everyday efforts of officers dedicated to making a difference in their communities.

I'm your host, eric Levine, with my co-host, banning Sweatland and our special guest tonight, frank Slope, better known as Fridays with Frank. He looks like he's sitting over there on the mountain right. What's going on, frank?
Speaker 2Right where I'm at. Man, it's good to see you guys again.
Speaker 1Living the dream buddy, that's what I'm talking, I'm talking look at them coins. You've stepped up the ambience back there. I like it, got it, man. That's what I'm talking about. That's pretty awesome, man. That's awesome, hell yeah. And then banning basically lives out of hotels now, um so every live we've had since banning are working for mark 43.
Speaker 4He's been in a hotel I literally just left the, the TNPA, what's it? What did they call it? The sip and smoke event for law enforcement, where they were giving out cigars and maybe some waters and stuff like that to to let people enjoy some things, and yeah you know the, the, the adult water, and anyway it was a great event.
Speaker 4I'm down here for Tico, that's Texas commission, a law enforcement here in Texas. We're having our annual conference. My company was involved so I got to be a small part of that man. So I'm super pumped that I can make it back here literally in time when the show started.
Speaker 1He was like I'm like you got seven minutes. He's like in the elevator. Yes, here we go. Well, we got obviously an all-star lineup here. Got Banning and Frank with me Two of my favorite guests to have on here, honestly. Well, banning's not a guest anymore, he's a part of the machine. So he's with Two Cops. One Donut Frank, however, is his own beast out there in Pinell County. Frank, can you for those that may be new and hiding under a rock and not know that Don't have the internet.
Speaker 1Don't have the internets, the interwebs, my space book faces. If they don't have any of that stuff, Can you kind of give a little background of what Fridays with Frank is?
Speaker 2Sure. So Fridays with Frank is really an educational program. Some comedy, some entertainment.
Speaker 3With some sadness.
Speaker 2Yeah, a little bit of that Put on by the Pinal County Sheriff's Office, which is the agency that I'm gainfully employed by. So they decided to put videos out based on traffic enforcement. So I'm assigned full-time to the traffic unit, I drive an unmarked car and I conduct traffic stops and whatever we happen to find when the cameraman's with me. That ends up going on Fridays with Frank. So the agency puts it out on Facebook, instagram, youtube on every Friday, so it's Fridays with Frank. And then I spun off on the private sector doing things like shirts and hats and my own YouTube content and Facebook, instagram, tiktok, all that stuff. So I started on duty and now I do some stuff off duty like this.
Speaker 2So I'm off duty today and, as you said, my opinions are my own.
Speaker 1Thank you very much. I appreciate that Somebody actually listened to the disclaimer I made. That is fabulous. My favorite is when I get people on, like I had Kyle Rittenhouse on at one time.
Speaker 2And I, literally, I think I enabled that.
Speaker 1Yeah, I literally made the disclaimer before I had Kyle on. Because of Kyle, because of all of the freaking hate I was getting for doing it, because of all of the freaking hate I was getting for doing it. How dare you have a podcast with that racist son of a bitch you know? Dah, dah, dah, dah dah. I'm like okay, like, what does that got to do with me? Are you telling me that if I got some, let's say okay, let's go way back, let's say Stalin, he's still alive, for whatever reason. And I had an opportunity to get him on the podcast and be like dude, what the fuck was your problem?
Speaker 2like you, tell me that's not what I should do, absolutely 100. I can't talk to pass up the opportunity right, you can't pass the opportunity up.
Speaker 1And with kyle, you guys know my format. My format is about law enforcement, criminal justice system, education and all that stuff. Kyle was being groomed for some law enforcement departments who are considering hiring him. I thought that was a great conversation, would fit the mold of what we do and that's what we did. We didn't dwell or talk about any of his stuff that's been beaten, that's you know. I'm going to leave the puns out of it. That has been done for him and that is not the point of the podcast. So I had no intentions of doing that, like asking him about you know, all the shooting and they're like that's not the point. I wanted to talk about the police stuff, maybe the police stuff that was involved while he was in Kenosha. Like I did talk about that but we stayed away from all the politics. That's not what I do.
Speaker 1But I'm just looking at the people that jumped on Will Cray. What's up? Buddy? David Edmonston's in the house again. How are you? Sir Paula Grisham's in there. She gets mad that I don't say Paula, sue. Sorry, you got too many names going on, paula.
Speaker 2I'm just going to go with Paula.
Speaker 3That is like a four-part name, like a two-part hyphenated last name.
Speaker 4You ever run those.
Speaker 2Dispatch has to run them. They have to run them all the different ways.
Speaker 4Hey, frank and Eric, that's when you say I got one to run, paula Sue McClenney, grisham, common spelling, then you go into the data curve.
Speaker 2And then dispatch makes you yes.
Speaker 1I'm just going to start calling her PMG. What up PMG? What up pmg got it?
Speaker 4that's my there we go. That's my 20th alarm call of the night. Why does dispatch keep?
Speaker 2sending me so weird all the way across the town.
Speaker 1Only on for you, frank. By the way she she was like when I first said I was gonna have you on, like I said the first time, she was like all in. She's like oh, my god, I love frank. You've been all in every time I've had a frank sighting on here. So my oh yeah.
Speaker 2Oh, yeah, yeah Right, I'll take it.
Speaker 1Will Cray said I got crap for posting a picture of myself and Kyle on my Instagram page. It was hilarious, like I'm sorry. People you need to. Here's my advice to people that want to get. If you think your opinion holds so much weight with other people, you need to consider what your opinion of that person is before you hold your opinion of something they're going to do. Like I know unequivocally, if banning were to do something, I am going to not question what it is he's doing because I trust his character so much. The same with with Frank, if Frank's telling me hey, man, I'm going on a trip to Germany to visit the World War II memorials that they have over there, I'm not going to go. Bro, you're supporting Nazis now. Are you a Nazi?
Speaker 1I'm not going to do that I know what Frank's going over there to do. He's going there to pay homage to those that suffered and had to live under a dictatorship. I trust the people that I'm friends with, so it tells me a lot. If you question me about the stuff that I'm doing on here any of the people that I have you're basically questioning my character and not. You don't have the trust in me and if that's the case, don't let the door hit you with a good lord, split you. So I it's, you're not my people. Sorry, you're not. I agree with that, and I did have some people that were just concerned. They were looking out like man, are you sure that's a good idea? Like people are saying this, that and the other like, oh well, I appreciate that, thanks for looking out, but I'm still gonna do me like it's not and those people that are saying this, that and the other are people whose opinion you don't care about.
Speaker 2Because they're not betting, and they're not me.
Speaker 1That's right, Absolutely. Paul said as a dispatcher. That's funny. She's talking about you saying common spelling. Oh, that's great. Perry Lemley's in the house. Perry's always on too. Man, we got a lot of regulars on tonight. Everybody's pumping on, and this was a later one. Sorry guys, I did not get a lot of sleep. Yeah, you are, Paula. I know I worked a part-time last night. Didn't get off until 7 am and then my wife had some lighting person come to the house to look at landscape lights for the new place, and that was at noon.
Speaker 2So I was uh hey, is that your new studio?
Speaker 1yes, sir, this is the new studio, is it?
Speaker 2up and running like are you ready for a, for an in-person guest?
Law Enforcement and Fundraising Update
Speaker 1um, I know, hold off. Yeah, I did do one in-person guest already and the lighting was really bad, so now I'm kind of like I don't want that to happen again. Um, and she was an awesome guest, so I feel terrible. Um, I am still going to put the clips out that I created. Um, they're just, they're not the greatest um, but uh, it was she. She came on, she runs a lady law shield and, um, she was a former swat officer. As a female, which is hot, that's very. It does not happen. Very often it's not to say, oh, women can't do it, no, it just doesn't happen. And women are so few and far between in law enforcement in general I think they only make up about 13 percent of law enforcement. So, for one to make swat is incredible. And she, she made SWAT in the late 90s, early 2000s, which is unheard of.
Speaker 2Unheard of even more back then than it is now.
Speaker 1Yes, and they didn't change the standards. There was no fluctuation. You passed the standard.
Speaker 2I think for SWAT, just as a SWAT monkey. I think that that should be. That is the way it should be.
Speaker 1Oh for sure. Yeah, as a person that has zero desire to ever be in SWAT, keep the standards high, keep guys like me away. If I think it's too easy, I might try. I might say, yeah, I want to get a SWAT rocker. Oh, banning what's new?
Speaker 2It looks just like that.
Speaker 1Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 2There we go.
Speaker 1Banning. What's new in your neck of the?
Speaker 4woods buddy. Well, like I said, I'm down here in Macau and I noticed this desk is really low in this hotel that I'm at.
Speaker 1So I bought a A whole pizza for yourself.
Speaker 4Well, that was an hors d'oeuvre, but it's now a computer holder to try to get this thing up a little bit higher for my tall self, that bit higher for my, for my tall self. So that's funny, I have mine on a on a boot box. So there you go ingenuity, ingenuity man love it, love it.
Speaker 1Um. Oh, I'm sorry I'm kind of ignoring some of um. I'm your people mick, mic issue. Still, who's having mic issues? Banning having mic issues?
Speaker 2Banning having mic issues?
Speaker 1I don't think so. David's Edmonston's, the one that said multiple mics, frank Slobe, I don't know what the fuck you're talking about, david.
Speaker 4I don't know. Maybe he's talking about multiple mics messing with dispatch people keying up. I don't know.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, yeah, that could be it. I thought he was talking about our mics. I'm like I've only got one active mic in here, so I'm not sure, and I bought it because of you. It's a great mic. You sound wonderful. Yeah, I appreciate you, buddy, just sultry, I got him. I got him going down the line of uh, podcasting. Um, greg elias and what's up, buddy? Uh, hell yeah, road, that's where it's at, man, good shit. Um, jamie r amrine, I just want us, I just want a swat hoodie. They always look so comfy that's pretty true yeah, fair enough.
Speaker 1Um, so we did a test trial last live. We did with our metal badges. I know you weren't here for that, frank, but I had a batch of like eight metal badges made for me by ghost patch, who's our official sponsor now. Uh, we will be joining their ranks on their web page.
Speaker 2So you will see just similar to that, sir, except this actually real metal this one is a real bad y'all just happen to have this right next to me.
Speaker 1I love that you prepped. I like it. That's awesome.
Speaker 4That's my man I was out of package until earlier and you put it back in there but we got these real metal.
Speaker 1Uh, you can hear, oh yeah, um, we sold all of them but one. Somebody backed out last. Actually two people backed out, but I posted, said hey, some two people backed out last night. Actually two people backed out, but I posted and said, hey, two people backed out. So if you still wanted one, because I had like 15 people ask and I just didn't have enough, so I have one left and it's a gold badge. So for those wondering, still available, dm us.
Speaker 2How much are those?
Speaker 1This is a fundraiser, so don't bite my head off, but we're selling them for $100 apiece, so they're pricey.
Speaker 2I'll give you $100 for that I want it. You want it.
Speaker 1You want the gold. Okay, man. Sorry guys, Frank took it. And then I did give my man.
Speaker 6Damn who has cash anymore.
Speaker 2I'm an old man. Old men carry cash.
Speaker 1I see you're still hitting your dope dealers up for some throw-down cash. Got it? Taking your pep out there in Pinell County? Yes, that is yours.
Speaker 2I want that gold badge. I want to support what you're fundraising for. I want that, I want it.
Speaker 1It's to go right back into our inventory because we're gonna me and benny, we're gonna put in for coins. We said, um, patches like the old school, just embroidery patch. And then, um, more metal badges. So then we're gonna put the metal badges out there. Um, there's not gonna to be a ton of them. I think we're going to go for 50 metal badges at first to see if we can keep those selling. They won't be $100 a piece. Like I said, this was a fundraiser guys to help us get going. So we do appreciate everybody that bought. Banning was one of them. So, banning, appreciate you. Your badge is sitting over here.
Speaker 2Um, my mother, pick mine. I will pick that badge up when I come to do an in-person okay, so you don't even want me to shoot.
Speaker 1I got four badges here that I'm just people. They're gonna do it when they come, come into the studio. Uh, so wonderful. Um, but yeah, we're gonna do that. And then so coins patches, embroidery patches and in metal badges. So those are the three things we're gonna do. The coins will look like our emblem or our logo on one side, and on the back side it's going to be like a bridge in the gap type of design. Um, it's. It's not the one that you have, frank, that's the old one, so that was not made by ghost patch, so that's going to be. You've got 1.0, so 2.0 is going to be coming out.
Speaker 2So, I want you to know. Notice where I pulled this from. I pulled this from my coin board. Oh, yes, so this is up there.
Speaker 1It wasn't even. It was like one you wanted close to you.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's why I keep it right there.
Speaker 1That's what I'm talking about, man. Somebody wrote T.
Speaker 4Somebody wrote t. Ward wrote still working on that white claw sponsorship, I'm assuming because it's the can I?
Speaker 1it is not right, fyi. I just want. I want to get that out there. It is not white claw, so, if you notice, I went with a little spooky theme. It's a halloween and you guys know me, I'm a smoke wagon junkie. Um, not that I have an addiction problem, but Smoke Wagon made their own glow-in-the-dark label for Halloween and I'm going to try to get that as close to y'all as I can. Look at that guy. That's it. Creepy, right yeah.
Speaker 4I like it. Have your sound and lighting guy. Turn off all the lights so we can see it glow.
Speaker 1Oh, my sound and lighting guy Okay.
Speaker 4Moving on up. Man, this is awesome.
Speaker 2Yes, that just made my day, oh it does glow.
Speaker 4Check that out. It's awesome. Look at that.
Speaker 2I can't get it to work we see it he can't hear you because he took his headphones off sorry for the interlude. Ladies and gentlemen, all right, thanks, eric, for getting all that done. Appreciate it, buddy, got it. Yeah, hey, eric, do you? Uh, it doesn't look like you have venmo, are you a?
Speaker 1or a cell.
Speaker 2Are you venmo?
Cancer Awareness Fundraising and Chit-Chat
Speaker 1uh, I'm a venmo. Yeah, okay, I don't have zell. We tried to get that to work, but it didn't work very well. It can't be perfect I guess I know hey, or cash app if you're a dope dealer so yeah, I'm not, I'm an old man oh, I wish that glowed way. Better it it glue, glue. It glowed in here.
Speaker 1But smoke wagon buddy I know it did not translate very well onto the computer screen so I was like, well, that was anticlimactic right there. Um perry said, hit him with the flash light. Uh, two navajo nation police points this hotel lighting is horrible. Oh, I must have missed his first message. What did he say?
Speaker 2he's got coins for to trade with me oh okay, my problem is frank. I have two challenges I have run out of room for challenge coins. I have a lot.
Speaker 1I've had people hit me up on Messenger like, hey, can I get some of your patches from where you work, and can I get some two cops, one donut and I'll trade you. Guys, I'm in person. I like to do that stuff in person. Maybe I'm old school.
Speaker 4It's a handshake.
Speaker 1Yeah, I don't, I'm not. That's not me. I don't like to do that. I'm a little different. I did hook up two of my my admins for my social media stuff, greg and Natalie, who just they've just done a lot for free and have never asked for anything. So I got them hooked up, um, so now they gotta do whatever the fuck I say for the next year. So just kidding guys, um, all right, for those who've never done this, I've got videos queued up and basically what we do is we're going to pull up body cam footage that we've never seen, or hopefully never seen. If we have seen it, one of us will chime up and say I've seen this one, I'm not going to say anything, but we pretend as though we are the officer in the body cam footage and we pause it often and talk and say, okay, here's what I would do from here, here's what I'm looking at here. Um, it's not a monday morning quarterback and it's more of a getting an insight of how an officer thinks as a call is occurring.
Speaker 2Developing yes.
Speaker 1It's good work Developing. So that is what we do on here. This happened one night drink and smoke wagon. I got bored and I wanted to do something. I wanted to do a live. I hadn't done one yet and I didn't know how to do it and what I wanted to do and live. I hadn't done one yet and I didn't know how to do it and what I wanted to do and I didn't have a guest. So I was like, let me just try something. So I just got done watching Donut Operator and I was like, well, I don't want to do what he does. Do you know him? I don't know him, but damn, I wish I did.
Speaker 2I've chatted with him on Instagram.
Speaker 1I've tried to get his attention man. He just he don't like me. I know I'm just kidding, I'm just talking shit guys. He doesn't know me. Uh, he's a busy guy and I'm sure his accounts get hit up a lot by a bunch of randos. So, um, I got lost in the sauce, but anyway. So I didn't want to do what he was doing.
Speaker 1I kind of looked at what some other cops were doing and I think I kind of found a niche, that some something nobody else was doing. I do think some people have started to mimic what I've been doing for the past three years. But that's fine, go ahead, knock yourself out, because we have fun doing this, no matter what, and it's always a good time. But you guys in the audience this is the fun part for y'all is you get to ask questions, partake in what we're talking about, share drinks with us and just generally be a part of it, which is what you don't get to do when you're just listening to a podcast. Uh, I know I listen to a lot of rogan. I wish I got to, wish I got to chime in a lot did you listen to that?
Speaker 2uh, the trump one I did.
Speaker 1Did you hear that was long?
Speaker 2that was long long and I fell asleep during it because I listened to it before bed, and so I didn't get the whole thing, but I was oh, it was great.
Speaker 1I was on a flight home so I listened to the basically took up the entire flight oh my, that's a long flight. It's like three hours right yeah, yeah, I was from here to florida, so yeah about you know two, two and a half hours in the air and then your time on the tarmac and whatnot.
Speaker 2I think they pronounce it Flo-Rida.
Speaker 1Flo right.
Speaker 2Absolutely. It's what the locals say.
Speaker 1Greg. He's like absolutely Old school handshake in exchange of patches. That's how you do it. That's how you do it. Greg said lock feed. Come on, bro, step. That's how you do it. Greg said lock feed. Come on, bro, step up your game. Greg Dang, I can hear Frank over there sexting.
Speaker 2I actually just sent you a text message. Oh, I wanted your Venmo info not for the entire interweb outer net to know, so I was looking for something.
Speaker 1Gotcha, gotcha. I am telling it to you right now, while eric's looking that up.
Speaker 4How, hey, frank, how can everybody find your your swag? What? What website can they go to to freaking find your swag?
Speaker 2fridayswithfrankcom. That's it. That's. It's all on there um shirts, hats, patches, coins. I actually happen to have a. I have a Fridays with Frank coin right here, so one side it's got me, other side it's got my Fridays with Frank patch. So, just like Eric's making patches, he probably got that idea from me, which is cool because we share ideas and inspiration. That's great.
Speaker 1So yeah, frank Slope on YouTube and frankslopeofficial on facebook, instagram and tiktok uh, let's pull that up so you guys are kind of looks like me if you're wondering if you're on the right website, uh, this is what you should be looking at. That's it here, oh, man.
Speaker 2So see the pink coin there. You talk about you doing fundraisers. That is my fundraiser.
Speaker 1Oh, you're doing a breast cancer awareness.
Speaker 2Yep. So I'm kind of I'm more of a general cancer awareness. Cancer touched me pretty, pretty heavy in my family and breast cancer awareness just a really great. It's a great month to recognize, one, that breast cancer is terrible, but, two, that cancer is terrible in general and it's it's bad and it it affects really, really good people that have no reason to be affected by it and it seems to just indiscriminately screw people. Um, so I'm not a big fan of cancer. Um, there's shirts that say all sorts of things about cancer and I believe in them all that they're all bad.
Speaker 2But I was touched by this organization called Courage Under Cancer. It's Courage Under Cancer Foundation and what they do is they provide money to people who are undergoing cancer treatment and help them with the inordinate amount of bills that come in during the cancer treatment. So they helped out my family and now that I have the ability to give back, I want to give back. So those coins you'll notice my normal coins are $20 a piece. That coin is $40 a piece. 25 of that goes to Courage Under Cancer.
Speaker 2And however many of those coins that I I sell, I am going to donate that money and then I am going to match that money with my own personal money made from working.
Speaker 1So I like that Empathetic list guy in my head right now. All I can think of Frank while you're talking to us. I can make Frank dance. I can make frank dance my favorite thing about your site right now is that you are the model for all your shirts. But why not the v-neck, sir?
Speaker 2um, those are women's and I just haven't started identifying like that. I knew it was coming. That's I. I knew you were leading me down that road univision tech one said evening studs.
Speaker 1Thank you for what you do. Did you get a chance to cash your votes yet for the upcoming election? I have not the idea. I think the wife and I are going to go tomorrow. I think we we keep meaning to do the early, but we just have not been able to get out there.
Speaker 2I, on the other hand, here I live in Maricopa County, which is the county where Phoenix is, and although it seems to be like on ballot day, on actual election day that they seem to pretty consistently drop the ball. But I submitted my ballot by mail, brought it to an actual post office, handed it to someone behind the counter. The very next day I got an email and text message that said hey, this is the Maricopa County Elections Department. We have received your ballot. That was on a Friday. On Monday they sent me another email and text message that said we have verified your signature and your ballot has been counted. So nice I.
Speaker 2I was unbelievably impressed with the level of response yeah, I mean it was slick, and so not only do I know that they received it, in Phoenix we've been having issues with people setting mailboxes on fire, trying to cancel votes. So, yeah, it's a, it's a thing here.
Speaker 1I don't watch a lot of news, so yeah, so it's I.
Speaker 2Actually I hear it in my local news nation uh station on the radio, cause I'm an old man, so I listen to talk radio. Um, Danny, I'm sure you do too, just by the way you're laughing. So, um, but yeah, that's how I, that's how I found out about it and that's why I went to the post office and handed it to someone. But I've been absolutely nothing but impressed with how the America County Elections Department has handled my ballot. So, and my ballot's been cast and counted.
Speaker 1Hell yeah, Frank, real quick did you link your YouTube channel to our stuff?
Speaker 2I did not, because I couldn't figure out how you son of a bitch.
Speaker 1I knew you wouldn't be able to do it. I am not technologically savvy enough.
Speaker 2I was driving like you, who slept all day and then dealt with lighting stuff. I was in a dignitary protection school all day. I didn't have a lot of downtime in between the end of that class and coming here. I didn't have time to mess with it. My phone wasn't quite ready.
Speaker 1I was looking at the numbers and I'm like, man, these are. This is not frank's numbers. Last time frank was on this kind of it's like and I'm looking, I'm like, oh, he didn't make his channel, that's what it is. But all right, let's get down to brass tacks and not some of these, these videos here. So, first and foremost, viewer discretion advised. We don't know what the fuck we're going to be seeing. We don't know what kind of language is going to come out.
High-Speed Chase
Speaker 1I'm sure most of the time, we get the majority of these from police activity YouTube channel. So giving them a shout out, police activity is where we got all of these. Today I've got about six or seven of them loaded up and we don't know what we're going to be seeing. So you have been warned. You were warned earlier too, on the disclaimer. So don't whine, no whining. All right, let's share this one here. Let's make sure we got some volume and give me one second. This is the only thing that stinks about being the lone wolf. You got to run it all, all right. I think we said did we like this one last time, banning, or did we like this one?
Speaker 4Well, maybe the other one I think we closed the chat.
Speaker 1Yeah, I think this is the one we liked. Yeah, I think we liked this one. All right, here we go.
Speaker 6It's Expert with byberk. What's a byberk? Byberk isn't a thing. Byberk is a way.
Speaker 1It's challenger traffic stop. All right. First and foremost, frank. How easy are these things to catch up to if you're in any sort of suv?
Speaker 2it. So it depends on what the package is. If you're chasing a v6, you're going to keep up with them.
Speaker 4If you're chasing a hellcat, you're not right, just so everybody knows you have that. You have two variations of the v6. You have one that's going to say hemi, on the side that's a 5.7. The next one you're you're going to have is a scat pack, and then the one after that you're gonna have a hellcat. So v6 all day you can probably keep up Turns. You may lose a little bit because it's lower center of gravity. The other ones, guys, you're not going to keep up.
Speaker 1Yeah, it will outrun some helicopters, depending on the helicopters you have.
Speaker 4Absolutely Some of the scat bags, depending on how they're built.
Speaker 2It's like 705 horse on the SRT Hellcat.
Speaker 1So common practice, practice, guys, when we go to pull these cars over and we know we're going to pull them over, depending on what it is. I mean, if it's just a stupid little traffic offense that we're just I don't know if we're frank and we're just pulling them over because that's what we do for a living is pull cars over, then it could be for anything. But if it's me, I'm gonna be like in a hood area where I know there's a dope house over there and there's been a lot of violent crime over in this area and every time these cars are in the area they're known to be stolen. So that's gonna be like the way I do it. And when I go to pull these cars over, I've already got somebody else on in route. I'm gonna say, hey, I'm about to try to pull over this, this scat pack, hellcat, whatever. Can I start getting some people in my area and they're going to be coming from everywhere, but chances are, if I, if he takes off and he's got a good straight away it's gone.
Speaker 1I'm going to smell like burnt toast in my car.
Speaker 2You're going to have a stroke.
Speaker 6I'm going to. Typically, one of the strategies that we'll use is we don't even turn our.
Speaker 1Are you going to have a stroke?
Speaker 2I'm going to be.
Speaker 1Typically, one of the strategies that we'll use is we don't even turn our lights on until we know we got more people around. So just so people are wondering like, well, how do you go after faster cars? That's what we do. We try not to pull them over, but if they see the cops behind them and we're making every turn they make, they figure it out and they take off. So anyway, let's keep going here. He's not taking off yet, but he's not up, I feel bad about that.
Speaker 1I'm going to get on straight away. I've got a feeling when we get around the corner.
Speaker 2See that uncoordinated, as you say. Definitely DUI. Pin them in. Pin them in right there.
Speaker 1Yep, so we call that positive pressure. So the way that cars modern cars seem to work. I don't know if they all work this way, but when we put our bumper up against theirs and then rock them backwards or forwards, they can no longer go into gear. They can't, they're stuck. So you'll hear cops say use positive pressure or bump them, whatever. But he gave too much space here. There are some departments that don't allow you to touch their vehicle in this case.
Speaker 1Yeah, and as you can see, it's a very powerful car, and had that person just wait to hit the gas on this straightaway instead of during the curve. They probably had a good chance of getting away.
Speaker 2So I'm looking at two things on this. Either this driver is young and inexperienced and in a car that has more power than they have skill, or the driver is DUI.
Speaker 1Yeah, I am. We don't have a time on the body cam footage. Light traffic DWI is very possible, but every time I deal with these knuckleheads it always seems to be some young Thundercat out there.
Speaker 4If you look at the headlights because I'm a weird Dodge freak he's got the fog lights and he's got the halos on where the bright beams are. So this is obviously a scat pack. It doesn't have the intakes for the supercharger for the Hellcat, but it's still a fast car Scat packs are still quick Gotcha.
Speaker 6You got.
Speaker 1Dodge Idiots, get on.
Speaker 2I'll tell you right now Just turned it into a felony. The Nile County Sheriff's Office would chase that car until the ends of the earth after committing aggravated assault like that yep, agreed.
Speaker 1Yeah, yep, you just screwed up, sir. Uh, he is obviously a danger to himself and the general public.
Speaker 2That car exploded when it touched his uh patrol vehicle. All right, all right, uh, that's it that's all it was.
Speaker 1That was all that one was. Yeah, it was a short but what happens?
Feel-Good Stories From Law Enforcement
Speaker 1don't know, didn't say we don't. I can actually go to the page here and read what it says for those that are listening. Nashville, tennessee. About 1.30 am, metro Nashville police observe 22-year-old Carlos Esquivel driving a silver colored Dodge Challenger recklessly along Korean Veterans Boulevard. Esquivel reportedly ignored police lights, continued swerving across all lanes and even performed donuts in the middle of the road before hitting a police car vehicle head on. After the crash, esquivel fled on scene but later surrendered to authorities, so he did get away. He was subsequently booked on four charges, including aggravated assault on a peace officer. Hell yeah, thank you to police activity. Guys, make sure you subscribe. They get 6.2 million subscribers. Uh, if I could just get one percent of that man. We did just hit 11,000 subs on youtube. It's a pretty big uh milestone for us, so I was pretty pumped. All right, go to the next one frank's like.
Speaker 2I get that mania on a weekend after I just I just looked up at my hundred thousand black you know, I was like how does that?
Speaker 1must be nice frank I know I'm like hey, frank, could you add your YouTube guys on here? Maybe we'll get like three of those. That would be nice Mike's like. No, I don't share that is not true.
Speaker 2I just shared a hundred hours with you via Venmo right now and I asked you to be my friend share, share, okay um. I'm gonna do something. Is that a pink patch, I think? I think we have an agency that supports breast cancer awareness.
Speaker 1Does it look pink to you? I can't tell, can't tell.
Speaker 1I am going to do something we don't normally do. I'm going to read the thing. Palm Coast, florida. October 26, 2024, flagler County deputies responded to a report of a dog in distress in the canal in the west section of palm coast. There they encountered a citizen in a kayak who was trying to rescue the dog. After she was unsuccessful, the deputy deputy, alex wolf, used a kayak to get the dog, then jumped off and pulled the dog to shore. The dog was turned over to animal control and later reunited with his owner. Well, that is, we got a feel good story is what it looks like. So I am. See. This is why I don't normally read them, because it kind of gives the story away. Okay, here we go toss me out.
Speaker 5I have this right here, this is awesome this dude.
Speaker 2All right if I'm getting into that cut?
Speaker 1well right. If I'm getting into that kayak, well Banning. If you're getting into that kayak, what are you doing, buddy, tell me what you're going to do, because you're a big man.
Speaker 4I'm not getting in that kayak for starters, but if I get into that kayak it's going to be a submarine You're going to see my head going across the water.
Speaker 1You're going to look like a hippopotamus moving his ears around.
Speaker 2That's right are you talking about, like putting on a life jacket? Yeah, is that what you were looking for, eric?
Speaker 1no, no, no, I all of our gear. Like, if you're going to consider going in the water, you're going to be stripping off your gun belt and all of that stuff. Well, if you're by yourself, it's always best not to hand your stuff off to a felon. So you know, choose wisely if you're going to be doing that stuff.
Speaker 4Maybe go lock it in your car, yeah.
Speaker 1And this is in Florida, so there's things that are real bitey in the water Alligators and water moccasins and leeches and anacondas and all sorts of exotic animals that people keep bringing over there, so, and all sorts of exotic animals that people keep bringing over there so let's keep going. Hey, my dog is going to be an alligator.
Speaker 5That was smooth bro.
Speaker 3Well.
Speaker 6Come on, puppy. I don't know why that dog is. It's soft. That dog's just built, though you got your phone.
Speaker 1Me.
Speaker 5Yeah, I don't care about you, can you go to the passenger?
Speaker 1seat.
Speaker 6Not from my door.
Speaker 1I got my camera on. But there we go, there we go. Good for that guy. Community service. We got your favorite here. I got a kayak I'm getting stuck.
Speaker 6I gotta stop biting. Come on, bud Give me that leash.
Speaker 2You, big noob, give me that leash, oh physical boy.
Speaker 6You big noob-y that dog.
Speaker 3Come on, boy, can I slip Any uh light on you? I just got a collar Two collars Training collar and Good puppy.
Speaker 1I put my foot down.
Speaker 3I was like and there's no ground there.
Speaker 5There you go. Sorry, just one kudos to Police Activity.
Speaker 1You know you got 6.2 million viewers. It is so easy to get a lot of views off the negative stuff and they shared. You know it's got 32,000 views. I am sure that that is but a fraction of what all their really bad videos show. That can show cops either in a bad light or it can be twisted. So kudos to them for doing that. But this stuff happens every day in police work. The good stuff Like this is normal not jumping in the water to go rescue a dog but I would say three-fourths of the cops that I work with. This wouldn't even have been a question. They would have done what they had to do, saddled up and got in there.
Speaker 2And would have expected not one ounce of recognition for it.
Speaker 3Right.
Speaker 2Just like, hey boss, I got to go home and get a new pair of boots and a new pair of pants. Can you give me time to get home and get back? Have someone cover my beat and I'll be back at work in half an hour, that's it.
Speaker 1And then, as a Sergeant, I would have been like you should have been prepared. You should always have a spare uniform, spare pair of boots. And then watch their face. They're like I'm just kidding, bro, Go change your stuff. I've had that happen. My guys uh helped change a tire and got his pants caught, cut his like pant leg open and was like, oh shit, and so I was messing with him. He's like can I go home and change? I was like no, like you should have been prepared, bro, who doesn't? I got a spare uniform, how don't you? He's like okay, sergeant, I'm like I'm just fucking with you, dude, relax. Oh, what's going to the comments here? Gina marie said metal yellow first red. Oh, is that a code?
Speaker 2I m y f d I don't know metal, metal Yellow.
Speaker 1First Did we just activate sleeper cells.
Speaker 3Cheers.
Speaker 1Maybe I shouldn't have said that out loud, I might have just activated some Russian spies.
Speaker 2Some water treatment plant in Kerplakistan just exploded.
Speaker 1Nice, all right, this one's, albuquerque, take a left. Whoa, whoa, whoa I can't see anything.
Speaker 2Albuquerque is an interesting town.
Speaker 1There we go. Share this tab instead. It's what was his name?
Speaker 2Bugs Bunny would always go to. I was on a website.
Speaker 1Take a left at Albuquerque. Okay, there we go. Now we will hit play.
Speaker 2So if you're headed north and you take a left at Albuquerque, it leads you to Arizona.
Speaker 1There you go. So typically no sound for the first 30 seconds. So people that use standard Axon body cams, which is what we see here. Just reading the camera, this is at noon on 10-18-2024. So this was recent. This was recent.
Speaker 6It's like 11 days ago. Yeah, yeah, I'm ready, I'm out. Let's go and step out. Step out, bro.
Speaker 1Okay. So I'm going to guess we're going to do a handcuff exchange. This is what happens often. You get somebody real quick, you get them in cuffs, you search them, give them a quick pat down, make sure they don't have any guns, bombs, anything like that, and then, once everything gets settled and the scene secure, then we're like all right, who's got the cuffs, who's transporting? So there's going to be this conversation going on with all the officers there.
Speaker 1And then, once you find out and where you're like, well, my cuffs are on them. So can I get my cuffs now? Because if you don't, then you'll never see them again. Never see them again. Yes, three pair I've lost in 21 years. Yep, uh, marine blood in the house. What's up? Marine blood? Um, gina marie said it was a gold medal icon. Oh, it must have been something on YouTube. That's why it was like an automated response. I don't know what that means yet, gina, so I'm still learning my YouTube, but anyway let's see what's going on here.
Speaker 5You guys really don't want to do this, huh.
Speaker 6I don't know what do you mean by. I don't know what that means, but you need to step out right now Come on, why?
Speaker 5What do you?
Speaker 3have in your hand dude.
Speaker 5A gun.
Speaker 1Did you say I have a gun?
Speaker 2He said I had a gun, which means someone dropped the ball while they were searching him and didn't search him properly or at all.
Speaker 1Okay, banning, no, frank, let's go with you, frank.
Speaker 2Those words come out of his mouth. What's your, what's your instinct right now? Well, I mean, if I'm her and I have my hands on them, I'm going to keep my hands on them and I'm going to keep that gun in my hand because obviously she's got her. She's got her hand on it right now yeah, that's so.
Speaker 2That's my guess too if she's got her hand on it and you're in that close proximity, keep your hand on it, pin it against him and and start to commence a beating yeah, I was gonna say I might.
Struggle for Control - Police Shooting
Speaker 1I might even jump on top of him, because his arm is stuck behind his back and if I can keep his hips pinned to that by jumping on him, he's not going to be able to get an effective angle on me, at least, who's in the fatal funnel right now, so to speak. So that is. I'm going to go to the comments. Some people were already chiming up. These new cuffs they're issuing have keyholes on both sides. Swapping cuffs just got so much easier. That's true. I have noticed some of those. Ozark Moon said this was bad. They didn't frisk him Yep. Greg said asps cuffs. Yes, holes on both sides Yep. Very true, all right.
Speaker 3Let's keep going okay from here.
Speaker 1Uh, only because of my knowledge of grappling am I like I said, he's actually put himself in a better position for me, uh, where I'm going to get into a mount position. That's my confidence level. I'm not saying backing out or doing any of that is wrong either. Shit, you might just have to back away and grab a shield, do something kind of extreme, because this is. There's no training for this. Guys, you've already fucked up.
Speaker 4You missed the gun, so and then let's I always like to say let's step back and look at the liability. They're in a freaking parking lot. This is maybe a weekday, maybe a weekend, but either way there's gonna be other people other than the law enforcement, the bad guy, there. So it's our responsibility to make sure that round doesn't travel outside that car, even even though we screwed up as law enforcement and didn't pat him down properly. So we've got to lock that arm down. If he gets hurt because he's trying to pull it, then he gets hurt. We don't ever want to hurt somebody, but that hand it can't move. We've got to stop the motion of that hand period.
Speaker 2Yep. And, by the way, the 18th is a Friday afternoon.
Speaker 4Yeah, oh jeez, Probably really really freaking busy yeah.
Speaker 6Gun gun gun. Get it Lou, get it Gun gun.
Speaker 1Okay, that officer was in a great position, unless he plans on shooting through himself, which he can't. Angle the gun that way, now, not that, I think, depends. I'm curious to know what type of gun it is too, that makes a difference. But um, yeah, I'm still going. I'm still gonna go for mount. I think this guy got in a really good position. Um, she backed the hell out because I think, uh, it's not cowardice, guys, it's If you don't have the confidence or the training, sometimes getting distance is all you can do. It's a tactical retreat until you can figure out a new game plan. She backed out, he moved in, so I got no problem with that. I bet we decided to shoot. Don't get ready.
Speaker 2What is this person doing? Just walking around. I know, just like walking like you, literally just walked in a circle, yeah. I mean unless the reason for that was like checking to see where rounds went, if rounds passed through that Tahoe and like went somewhere, like. Unless that was a specific reason. What are you doing, like how?
Speaker 1did you, doing Like God, you just turn your back to that. I think he got some rounds off and I think that caused that reaction, so I'm going to go back. Yeah, you had me and you had him right there. You're controlling the hips Shit from here. I might've just yanked his ass right out of there.
Speaker 2I was thinking that.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2Just grab by the foot and pull him out.
Speaker 1Yeah, just rip right from there. Gun, gun, gun.
Speaker 6Gun gun.
Speaker 1Boom, boom, boom, boom. I think that was three or four shots. Pretty muffled Could have been him, but that could have just been the the way that it recorded the sound. I'm digging that everybody's got this good red dot site with oh god, there's a lot of people there so from here, oh look, she's a baseball player. Um, from here, uh, now we've. He's still active, he's an active threat. This is rough. This is a rough situation. Who's doing what here?
Speaker 4So one of the guys correct me if I'm wrong he said he has his gun Yep, right. So if you back it up about 10 seconds, the guy says I got it. Doesn't mean he doesn't have another one. Don't fucking move.
Speaker 6Yes, he's got it. He's got it. No, I got the gun. I got the gun, you got it. Oh, that's the guy that we shot. I got the gun. Pull him out. Hey, that's the guy Pressure's back up. I'm going to pull him out this.
Speaker 4I think, you know what I bet what I bet what happened. Like Frank said, what's he doing, that little turn? He made a slide, locked his frigging hand on that gun, frigging, grabbing it, and he may just forget a big ass cut on his hand. So he might have been like, oh Jesus. Yeah Turn around, try to compose himself to come back, but he knew he had the threat threat object.
Speaker 1So for those that listen to the podcast because I usually post these on the podcast as well one this had 160,000 views approximately, but it says Albuquerque, new Mexico. October 18th, 39-year-old Matthew Solo Garcia was fatally shot by Albuquerque police. He was detained at the Tewa Lodge as part of the police operations targeting drug activity. Garcia had two outstanding warrants and a history of convictions. He was reportedly placed in handcuffs in the back of the police vehicle without a thorough search. No shit. Body camera footage released by Albuquerque shows officers struggling to disarm Garcia after they realized he had a concealed firearm. During the struggle, shots were fired, resulting in Garcia's death. Well, that didn't tell us shit. We knew that. Thanks a lot. I was hoping they would at least say like they returned fire or fired at him when they couldn't get control of the weapon in time. So I guess it is what it is.
Speaker 1Okay, let's go on. I'm going to go over here to the comment section. How are they talking in the comments, folks? Let's see, that's my announcer voice. Will Cray said when we spent 12 hours at a brewery Context. I don't know what he's talking about. Context. I don't know what he's talking about.
Speaker 2Good evening, my brothers from Chief Greg Turner from Ozark Mountain.
Speaker 1Ranch Emergency Rangers. That is a lot to say, sir. That's hard to put on a patch. I bet your business cards are atrocious, sir. If you'd like to file a complaint, you can reach my sergeant this card. Here is my name, badge number and report number on there. Just ask for Chief Greg Turner from Ozark Mountain Ranch Emergency Rangers. Damn, that's a lot of letters. I bet they spend double the amount that everybody else has to spend. What do you guys think about what's the conversation going to be like for y'all after this guy is secured?
Speaker 4My whole thing is I want to see all the body camera footage and find out who screwed the pooch on the search. Not necessarily that man. Man, it's not what I mean.
Speaker 1I mean nobody's freaking perfect, but I don't think I've had sorry you do not get a free pass with me if you miss a gun and that happens, or even less than that happens, we're fighting afterwards. There's going to be. You may not fight back, but I'm going to be. You may not fight back, but I'm going to either choke you out, punch you out. You're giving me, I'm going to give you the opportunity. I get a free shot.
Speaker 2Yeah yeah, you got me into a shooting, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1Hey, bro, listen, we can do this one of two ways.
Speaker 1Drinks are not on me tonight, we can do this the honorable way, free shot, we'll call it even, or you can struggle, and I like when they struggle. So let's see I'm going to comment yeah, I'm sorry, like there's no excuse to miss a gun, not on a person, not like that, because you got a car full, you, you know, and there's a ton in the car and they got bags everywhere, okay, but on their person, no dope, okay, you can miss dope. That happens, um, especially the little coin pockets and, you know, sometimes a little piece of crack falls down a little dope pocket.
Speaker 1Yeah, the dope pocket. So, Greg, so that's a fucking mouthful for a cop, I know.
Speaker 4Imagine standing at a door banging on the door like for a search warrant.
Speaker 1Yeah, you better take a deep breath, man. When Ace Ventura was doing all the signs and clues that he sees and he just oh, space Frog's back in the I ain't seen Space Frog on here in a while. He's been busy, man. Space Frog jumped on and we went back and forth a little bit on a youtube video or two that posted. Um, space frog always gives us, he gives it to us as well as we give it. Um, he keeps us humble. Damn frank's looking like his wife kicked him out of the way just as bad, man, it's all right.
Speaker 1oh shit everybody. Oh, is that froggy in the house? Uh, let me see your chin real quick. Yeah, exactly that's what I'm talking about. Anthony says the firearm must have been a compact of 22 of sorts. I don't know. That's if we heard it fire, I don't know. And obviously they all still thought he had the gun because nobody knew that officer had it, which goes into communication. I got the gun, I got the gun. You know, yell that shit out, but hard to say when you. That is not a scenario that you train for. And if you do holy shit a scenario that you train for, I don't know. And if you do holy shit, like good on you, cause I'd never thought of that scenario.
Speaker 4I bet you look into this, though. That guy's skin was locked in a slide lock grabbing that gun, and we all three know if somebody says their hands never been nicked by the slide or or something like that, they're right. It don't feel, yes, or something like that they feel shit, they don't feel yes.
Speaker 1I guess scars too. Man, I do too. It happens, Yep, Between that firing your AR and getting brass stuck to your neck yeah, your neighbor's freaking shooting brass right and it literally sticks right into the thongs.
Speaker 2And you're like ah, and you can't freak out because you got a hot weapon pointed down right, because you still need to shoot.
Speaker 4Yeah, oh shit Excited. Motherfucker.
Speaker 2Ask your mom, I got all the decorations I need right here. He's a cop Challenge coins, that's it.
Speaker 1Slide bite, slide, bite sucks. All right, let's uh, let's move on to the next video here. Share this tab instead. Uh, and you know I keep forgetting that dead leg offers his services to me to do this stuff remotely, and I have not taken advantage of that yet. Okay, let's biggie size this one, and I have not taken advantage of that yet. Okay, let's biggie size this one. Yay, yay and go Do they biggie size anymore. A few months back.
Speaker 6Okay, I thought I could help him, all right, but I can't.
Speaker 1He's unstable Off duty.
Speaker 6It's disturbing the peace. It's a nice house. What happened to this? This must be maintained.
Speaker 1Oh, Okay, I thought he was off duty until that statement. Now I'm thinking he's mental. Yeah, so for those listening, and you're wondering, how quickly can cops pick up mental vibes and stuff like that when we're like, oh, there's something wrong.
Speaker 2Mine started right there, so I don't know if Frank's picked up right then too, and banning, maybe talking to a guy that's a little overly zealous on florida state law. That's what I, that's what I think. I think this guy is a complainant. It's probably his house, because dude's dressed nice and it's a nice house, so it's probably his house. That's amazing, probably. Yeah, that's a mansion. Um, my house would be like the one in the back with the sliding door that's what I was just like I bet.
Speaker 2I bet that's his house and there's some guy there, he which, and he says he's been talking to him, which means he probably knows it.
Speaker 1Yeah. Yeah, that's a good call. That's a good call, uh, anthony said. Then you have to explain to the wife why you have marks on your neck, talking about the shell sticking to your neck, oh shit.
Speaker 6That's another hickey. You feel the peace, you feel it. What happened today, sir? It needs to be maintained. It's pretty peaceful right now you came into my home and I told you you can't come in without permission. Yeah, so into my home, and I told him he can't come in without permission. So he violated my space, my boundaries.
Speaker 1Okay, from here I'm going to establish residence. Sir, is this your home? Do you live here? Do you have a license on you that shows that this is your address? This is because I'm, like I said, my spidey senses are already going off that this guy's got some mental issues going on. Nope, I think he's just overzealous.
Speaker 2Yeah, let's see how it plays out, because neither one of us have seen this, so we don't know that's true, uh banning.
Speaker 1What are you thinking right now?
Speaker 4I'm thinking there's something going on upstairs with the overzealousness, because I've ran into people like this that are not a complete uh in need of, uh, medical attention, so to speak, for mental faculties. So it's a little bit of both, but some of the answers that he's given me is definitely making my spidey senses go off as well.
Speaker 1I'm going to go with my and I'm not an expert in this at all, but schizophrenic I'm getting kind of a schizophrenic vibe.
Speaker 6Then came and slammed my door so he destroyed yes, that's destruction of property. Where is he currently? He's currently in my area that I allowed him to stay in. How long has he been staying here? For a few months now, okay, oh, In my area that I'm allowing him to stay.
Speaker 1So basically, we have a resident.
Speaker 2We have a tenant dispute. Yeah, a legal resident.
Speaker 1We have a tenant dispute, a legal resident. If you're in Texas. If you've got a toothbrush there, a piece of mail, whatever it is, it's your home. Just as many rights as the owner until stated otherwise by a judge. He went the roundabout way of saying it's like living with your parents and you're like I've got to check with my roommates and see if it's cool. It's not your roommates, dude, it's your parents.
Speaker 2So this guy has allowed someone to live there.
Speaker 6Yes, and he needs to be evaluated or looked at or whatever you gotta do. He has no weapons on him. Do you have weapons? Do you have any weapons on you? I am the weapon. Oh yeah, Do you have any weapons on you? I am the one. Okay, do you have any guns?
Speaker 1Oh, yeah, are we still thinking that this is just a?
Speaker 2dispute. I love him, I love this guy man. He just brought in some chai tea with this guy Thunder and lightning baby, he's got a blade.
Speaker 1Look at him, he's got the necklaces going, the glasses, my man, he's the Florida Blade.
Speaker 6right now, guns on Look at him. He got the necklaces going, the glasses my man, he's the Florida play right now One's on you I don't use that.
Speaker 1That's all we're worried about. Okay, at this moment I still have nothing. I've got zero to go on. I don't have an offense. I believe that they're all residents. I've got to get both sides stories. I got to try to get this guy id'd. Um, I don't see that going very well with this dude because he's already off his rocker in my head, um, but I am to make sure that there's a crime has not been committed and one is not about to be committed.
Speaker 4They can either be cordial, separate, 10-8, no report. Yeah, on to the next if it's cordial, if they can be I can't force this guy to id.
Speaker 1I bet he would.
Speaker 2I bet that guy would he'll id. You just gotta talk to him, right yeah like hey man you said this is your house. Man, you got your driver's license just so I can make sure, man, people lie to me all the time you hit him with that, that guy's gonna come out and give you a license.
Speaker 110 out of 10 times. I like using the. You want me to get him out and they're going to be like, yeah, he can't be here. I'm like, okay, cool, as long as you can show me you live here and this is your place, I'll get him out of there. Let me see your ID real quick. Make sure you got the same address on here.
Speaker 6Okay, from there, and I didn't technically do anything wrong, so let's keep going.
Speaker 1Just stay right here for me please, okay, divide conquer.
Speaker 3Do you have a positive idea? Yeah, it's funny. Go check out Elvis on the date that I ran. Yeah, roy Clark, it's a show on possible 40.
Dealing With a Sovereign Citizen
Speaker 1Okay. So now I think our crazy guy has possible warrants. One way to figure out the name is go talk to the other party. What's that guy's name? If they're like I've never seen that guy before in my life, well, now we might.
Speaker 2Previous contacts at that address.
Speaker 1Yeah, now we may have an actual offense. Yeah, previously, depending on how well your system is. I know some. Some departments are like how do you do your?
Speaker 2your, does your system handle that let?
Speaker 4me rephrase that the company that I work for does amazing things with names mark43.com there it is.
Speaker 1Hey, I like how I set that up you just just knocked it out of the park. I don't know if we can start saying their name yet, because we're waiting for them to be official. I want them to show us some commitment. Baby, I'm just kidding guys. It's a great product, use it, use it, let's keep going.
Speaker 6All right, we're about to go 10-15 on him. We're going to have a problem. He All right. We're about to go 10-15 on him. We're going to have a problem.
Speaker 4He's a sovereign citizen and a pretty big dude. So if you could just kind of make your way, this way, please.
Speaker 1Okay, so we got the sovereign citizen. Sovereign citizens are dangerous, can be dangerous. A lot of history with those guys.
Speaker 2You're going to get the name game big time with sovereign citizens. They're going to throw a bunch of words at you a bunch of paperwork at you. No driver's licenses. You don't need it when you're traveling. It says the maritime code from 1841 on the high seas of the Indian Ocean.
Speaker 1According to Black Law's dictionary, that's know out of service for 400 years. Uh, let's keep going here hey, come here wait, come here. Nope, you gotta say it peacefully, right?
Speaker 6you gotta say it peacefully elroy, that's not my name, it is. No, it's not, it is. Ha ha, you got a warrant for your arrest. Listen, okay, uh-oh.
Speaker 1I don't like the strategy of not having contact. I don't either, and telling somebody that they're under arrest and that they have warrants. I ain't saying shit until I'm in a position of advantage.
Speaker 2Although it's not like this guy's going to outrun you True, true, especially in this open field. But I certainly like putting my hands on someone at the same time. Hey, you have a warrant, you're under arrest.
Speaker 1Because they will know the level of seriousness that I'm about to instill if they decide to pull away, and that is the measure of how I do it. See, frank, where we're at a big disadvantage is Banning. Doesn't know what the fuck we're saying. He's never faced anything like this, because everybody complies.
Speaker 4I've arrested a third string professional sports person that was broke two sets of my handcuffs because he said said man, that hurt I sorry I had to take those off, but he was compliant, thank God. We actually had to call a van to. The guy was very physically fit and and I'm just glad he was yes or no, sir, he complied. He understood that he had a warrant. He wasn't aware of it at the time and he lived at a different address and he wasn't notified of it. Yes, sir, I'll do what you have to do. Put him in two sets of cuffs and set him in the back of the car sideways. I just heard snap and he brings his hands back out. He's like man, those are hurting my wrist really bad. Sorry, he had the physical elastin to be able to twist him. I was just like, oh shit, uh. Yes, sir, stand by, we'll uh I'm in danger yeah yes, yeah yes, yeah, I love simpsons references.
Speaker 1all right, so I've told you you're under arrest and you've turned your body towards me. I don't know. I don't know, I'm not there. So this is me kind of trying to.
Speaker 2I mean, look at his stance Like not a powerful stance, not a fighting stance, not an offensive stance.
Speaker 4True.
Speaker 2But you know what that says. That says I'm big and no one ever fights me yeah, that's what that says um, I am a.
Speaker 1I like to surprise you. Uh, I don't want you to know my move like a spider monkey. And I don't. I'm, there's zero hesitation in me. I don't do the you know. All right, don't do that now around. Put your hands behind your back Like no, not on this.
Speaker 4Let's talk about that for a second. The three of us Frank, I've seen you do it, Eric you and I have talked at ends and ends. We're not quote unquote, excuse my French assholes so we can usually talk somebody down. We don't always have to necessarily go fisticuff with people and use different tactics. I mean, it's all about here and here and here and how you frigging treat people. So that's the biggest thing, and I have not had a lot of people fight me.
Conflict Resolution Strategies in Law Enforcement
Speaker 1I just haven't. No, no, I'm with you and it's actually it was kind of frustrating, because that's the whole reason I got into martial arts and jujitsu and all that stuff was because I was like, if I'm going to get in this profession, I need to give myself the best chance. Well, because of that training, I think it personified some sort of ambiance that people just never did that to me.
Speaker 2You have a. You have a confidence about you.
Speaker 1Right.
Speaker 2And it's palpable yeah.
Speaker 1Yeah, and and and. Then I I'm I'm a people person, I like to talk to people. So in that case, I'm not saying that I couldn't talk this guy into cuffs, I'm absolutely. I'm saying based on what we're seeing here. My switch was the moment I said, hey, you have a warrant, elroy or whatever, you're under arrest, and you turn towards me. That's my switch, because I'm waiting for that response.
Speaker 1And I think this is where a lot of cops get themselves in trouble. They're so used to compliance. Well, I told you you're under arrest so you should have turned around and put your hands behind your back. And they weren't ready for this person to say, fuck, you find out. And that's essentially what that body language is to me. So I'm ready for the body language where a lot of officers get themselves in trouble. They ain't ready, and then we start backpedaling our words and then we get in and over our heads. Perry Lemley says I talked more people in the cuffs than anything else. Yeah, I think that's the majority of cops. Honestly, I think the ones that don't do that tend to be younger officers or officers that don't stay in the career field too long because their mouth gets them in trouble.
Speaker 4And they have no business having that bad day on the first place.
Speaker 1And the streets will humble you, I mean if you run your mouth. I've seen officers get humbled, and deservedly so.
Speaker 6Calm down. No one's calming down. Don't listen to that man. Take off your glasses. What is your name? It's okay. What's your name? Take off. I sold you. It's ben day, it's not ben day. I got your picture pulled up. Man, that is not elroy, that is not me. How are you gonna tell me who I am? I got proof. I got your picture. That's proof I have. I have your ID.
Speaker 1I have your ID.
Speaker 6That's bullshit.
Speaker 1He's not 100% wrong. I mean, you can say you know I got photo ID and that looks like you. You can go off of that. At least enough to cuff.
Speaker 4Yeah, you definitely have enough to detain right now, based on the information they have.
Speaker 2You confirmed it by fingerprints.
Speaker 1Yeah, absolutely Absolutely. Now we have to, yeah, we have to take them all the way to jail to do that I mean so do we?
Speaker 2but you have enough right now, just based on the positive there's some rich departments.
Speaker 1They have like mobile fingerprinting things that can do that I don't know if you do that um um morpho our yeah, I think that our fugitive unit has one yeah, we've.
Speaker 2We've got them in the county. They just don't belong to the canal. County show stops.
Speaker 6Uh, yeah, you know you got in your hands, in your eyes, your car. Calm down.
Speaker 1You're on my land, you're telling me to calm down when, in the world of calm down, has saying calm down ever helped somebody calm down?
Speaker 3I saw that all the time.
Speaker 2I saw that somewhere With women all the time.
Speaker 4Oh easy.
Speaker 1It's called down. Marital advice from Frank Slope, who's not married? Yeah, who's not married.
Speaker 2Follow me for more advice, friarsoffrankcom he's been on that mountain right for a long time. I wasn't on that mountain right for a long time. No, I didn't. I wasn't on that mountain right alone.
Speaker 6I didn't mean to say that that was Frank.
Speaker 1Lonely mountain. I think we just found our next.
Speaker 2We're going to the Brokeback Mountain.
Speaker 1This is going to be our next collaborative piece of gear we're going to sell on Ghost Patch. It's going to be that statement right there, Two cops, one donut and Friday's with Frank. Statement. Right there, Two cops, one Donna and Friday's with Frank.
Speaker 2Calm down. Calm down.
Speaker 6It's fine, god, you sound just like your mother, you've got a warrant for your arrest. I've been here peacefully making things happen in my world, in my space. I'm allowed to do that.
Speaker 1Yes, you are Fair.
Speaker 6I haven't troubled anyone. There's been no crime. There's no crime, it's a civil matter. And I said leave, that's all that matters. Put your hands behind your back, listen, it's a civil matter. 402 Central give me a trigger. I am calm and it's not about to be. It's not about to be. I want to stay calm.
Speaker 1That's a trigger and I hate that this partner has this posture After that comment, like I'm the one that's in front, so I got to kind of be the distracting person. I might reach a handout, whatever it is, but it's to set him up to move in. That's just how I think. I don't know.
Speaker 4This is way too relaxed on the gentleman's right hand side.
Speaker 1That's way too relaxed, I'm sorry. Perry said uh, beanbag rounds. I don't think we're at beanbag round level yet.
Speaker 2I'm a big man heading in that general direction it's down the road that we're headed and it can be this simple folks.
Speaker 1It can be as simple as I reach for your hand and you pull away yeah, I can? It's like an act of resistance. Now I can at least establish that I tried to get physical control and he pulled away from me after I told him he's under arrest. So now we can start to go up the use of force ladder. I'm a big fan of tasers. I personally have always had very good luck with them, but I have watched them fail. You know a lot with other people, so maybe they become overly dependent on them.
Speaker 2They're not working.
Speaker 4I have never deployed one, and since 2003 I've carried one.
Speaker 1I've never deployed one, and then the Marines nuke. No, eat some more Kranz Marine blood. We're not at nuke yet put your nuke level. Yet Put your nuke away. He's like on Starship Troopers. That's what Marine blood reminds me of.
Speaker 6I want to stay calm If you fail to comply to what I just said. I want to stay calm If you fail to comply with what I just said. I want to stay calm If you fail to comply with what I just said. There's your hands behind your back, listen, I don't. I don't take orders from you.
Speaker 1Listen, there's the pull away. It's like God. I feel like Nostradamus sometimes. That's all it takes. Now you can say I tried to reach for him and he pulled away. So this guy's switching over to taser Our partner's still putting up his calm hands. Calm down, calm down.
Speaker 6But you have a warrant for your arrest. I do not have a warrant. Put your hands behind your back. I am Ben Day. Okay, who's the warrant for Ben?
Speaker 2Day For you.
Speaker 1I would have said Elroy Ben Day, whatever his last name is, ben Day, ho, yeah, got you.
Speaker 6Who are you? Who's who? Who's you Spanish? Listen who's you? Put your hands behind your back. I am Benday. Do you hear what I said? Do you have an ID? I am Benday. I'm not operating commerce. Do you have an ID? Is it commerce?
Speaker 1There's the sovereign citizen talk.
Speaker 6You're about to get tased. I'm not. Yeah, you're going to tase me on my land. I will, I will, you will do that. I will 100% do it. That's correct.
Speaker 3You will tase with your hands behind your back on his land.
Speaker 6Can we make this peaceful? It is peaceful.
Speaker 5Don't you feel the?
Speaker 6peace. No, you're mistaken.
Speaker 1You're mistaken if you're okay, from here I'm gonna let my partner talk, because mine wasn't working and he his. He got him to lower his volume, so I like it. Uh, go into the comments here. Marine blood sea and will cray isn't a marine. Well, fair, fair, will Cray, I'm just a provocateur. It's better than being sympathized If you're mistaken.
Speaker 6We can get this all cleared out. I'm Ben Day.
Speaker 3That's what it is.
Speaker 6That's what it is. You're looking for who? What's your date of birth? Who are you looking for? What is your date of birth? Who are you looking for? Who are you looking for? Who are you looking for? Who are you looking for? Who are you looking for? Tell Roy.
Speaker 1We don't debate. I'm not. I'm not. That is not what I do. You are looking for a courtroom? If this is the conversation, my conversation's over this has gone on far enough. I see some perfect tackling padding or tasing padding right behind this man, so hopefully I can get a good spread with the taser, If I don't feel. I can't tell how big this guy is.
Speaker 4He seems fairly large the body camera is very hard to get a true depiction.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 6Where does Elroy live? I don't know. Go ask when does Elroy?
Speaker 2live? I don't know.
Speaker 6Go ask him, because Elroy's address is here. Go ask him. Go ask him. Put your hands behind your back, go ask Elroy. Put your hands behind your back, go ask Elroy. I'm going to tell you one more time put your hands behind your back. I'm not matching anything. This is my estate, right, but keep this peaceful. I? This is my estate, right, but keep this peaceful. I am being peaceful. I have no weapons on me, and I told you that. Raise your voice, though I'm allowed to raise my voice. That's not a vestal law. That's not being peaceful, though. That's. That's what vestal is it that I need to go past? What vestal is it not peaceful anymore? Tell me that.
Speaker 2Put your hands behind your back, do not touch me.
Speaker 6I'm telling you, do not touch me. I'm gonna tell you you taste me. It's gonna get hot in this bitch and it's. I'm telling it's gonna get hot. Telling you it's gonna get hot, I don't care. Put your hands behind your back. Put your hands behind your back.
Speaker 1So when we, when we aim for this, if we have to take frontal shot, we try to aim kind of lower chest. You try to stay away from the heart for some reason.
Speaker 2Like belly button and thigh.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2You want what's called splitting the belt line. Yes, so you want a probe above the belt line and a probe below the belt line, so like belly button and thigh, something like that.
Speaker 1And the farther the spread the probes go apart, the better, the more you'll get that nmi. You hear us say neuromuscular incapacitation, and that's when they're like. Then they just fall over. Um, when they don't get proper spread, it just hurts in that local area and they can pull those things out real easy now he's using the new taser, which is the one it's the new one, it's a we just them.
Speaker 2So that's the one I carry.
Speaker 1We've got the tents. I didn't hear the cool Star Trek sound. The new Tazers when they turn on they sound like phasers on Star Trek.
Speaker 6Touch me, though You're not allowed to touch me. They take one arm distance from me, for your own safety. Taser taser taser, not the new one own safety taser, taser, taser not the new one, maybe not.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's not the new one. Oh see, oh see shoot him in the back.
Speaker 6There we go, get on the ground okay, now back off.
Speaker 1Let it take effect on the ground please.
Speaker 3Wow, now back off, let it take effect On the ground, please, on the ground, shoot him in the back.
Speaker 1There we go, take him down, but he didn't Terrible tackle.
Speaker 6Stay on the ground, do not touch me he can't see Double wrap this way, all right.
Speaker 1We're going through every use of force option we have.
Speaker 2We're almost up to beanbag, like that guy said.
Speaker 1Down to we have.
Speaker 6We're almost up to beanbag, like that guy said. We're down to the baton, Touch me, you're going to see something you don't want to see, get on the ground For your safety. Get on the ground. I'm telling you, let's make this peaceful. This is peace and love. This is peace and love. Come on, elroy. This is peace and love. Get on the ground.
Speaker 2Put your hands behind your back.
Speaker 6Don't touch me, el. Come on, I'm not elroy. What is your name? Again, put your hands behind your back, on your back, my game, my hands behind my back. This is my leg and do not shoot me with that again. Listen, go ahead and hit me with that and let it bend, and then you'll see back up. Hit me with that. It's right here. He's trying to help you. Why are you listening to this man? He's trying to help you. Why are you listening to this man? He's trying to help you. Why are you listening?
Speaker 2to this man. Notice that no one's punching this guy. Get on the ground.
Speaker 6I'm getting on the ground. I'm not getting on the ground. They're on the ground. I'm not going to shoot you.
Speaker 1It would be demoralizing to go in for a two-leg tackle and just bounce off, because that's what happened. He didn't go low.
Speaker 2He didn't go low, he didn't go low enough.
Speaker 1Yeah well, not everybody's trained to tackle like they do down here in Texas.
Speaker 6Come on now. I don't want to shoot you. I don't want to shoot you Now.
Speaker 1We got a crossfire issue.
Speaker 6We got to worry about. There we go, do not touch. Put your hands behind your back. Come on, dude. It's a civil matter and I told you. Now we're trying to figure something else though. Hey, do not go on my grass, get off my grass. Tell him to get off my grass. He's been tased twice and sprayed.
Speaker 1Get on the ground that's what I'm talking about there it is.
Speaker 2Get on the ground. There we go, okay go behind the back that compliant?
Speaker 6all right, come on boys training none of these.
Speaker 1okay, I liked the authority of the aggressiveness and we got him to the ground immediately, but what I don't like is the pacified, pussified way that we went in hands-on. How?
Speaker 4the primary officers didn't come up and friggin' lock on and get his rear in the cuffs.
Speaker 1Yes, Now this guy put his hands behind his back when he first got Taze to the ground, like you've seen him put his hands behind his back when he first got tased to the ground, like you've seen him put his hands behind his back. I think what caused him to stop was the continuous drive stunning, or at least that's what it looked like. Was drive stunning, because if anybody's ever been drive stunned, I have it's terrible.
Speaker 1It forces you to move Like you want to put your hands behind your back, but if you get tased off to the side it's going to make you wiggle, and I think that's what we got there. He tried to come, I think he tried to comply and, uh, his, his aggressiveness which I'm okay with aggressiveness, I'm not saying that's right or wrong but uh, I think, caused the reaction that we got and these guys have zero grappling. So I think I tell everybody, I think, besides talking to people, grappling is tied with the most valuable thing that you can learn going into law enforcement.
Speaker 6It's not going to work. You're incompetent. Get on the ground.
Speaker 2Incompetence, not wrong.
Speaker 1He got his back. No, right now.
Speaker 2Shoot him again. That guy might be out of control.
Speaker 6No one's going to get murdered. Get on the ground. Get on the ground.
Speaker 2Hit him in the thigh with your baton Get on the ground.
Speaker 6Get on the ground.
Speaker 1Shut up.
Speaker 6Get on the ground, shut up. Get on the ground. That's my brother. It's a civil matter. Get on the ground, get on the ground. Get on the ground this guy. He's a bad actor. Get on the ground, get on the ground.
Speaker 2Notice no one's paying attention to this other guy. Yeah, get on the ground when you one's paying attention to this other guy yeah.
Speaker 1When you know he's a sovereign citizen.
Speaker 6Get on the ground You're.
Speaker 1ETA Come on man 11 minutes yeah we don't watch videos.
Speaker 3We're still attempting to take a custody trying to avoid lethal at this point.
Speaker 2There's no reason, there we go. Now we're talking.
Speaker 1All right Perry. We did learn that these things can be lethal.
Speaker 6Yes, this is a beanbag. I've never used a beanbag. This is a beanbag. You don't want this, trust me. All right, you know what? Get on thebag. You don't want this, trust me, get on the ground. You don't want this. You'll get water later. You'll you get water later. You can get on the ground now, yeah you don't get water. Palmer move. Get on the ground. You're gonna be beanbags if you don't get on the ground. Get on the ground. You're going to be beanbagged if you don't get on the ground.
Speaker 1Get on the fucking ground. Now what is? I'm not trained in the beanbag gun. That seems close. But I do know body cam has a way of distorting distance.
Less-Lethal Options and Officer Safety
Speaker 2Standoff is. I mean six feet, ten feet for some, I even, Depending on how hot the round is. But the problem with beanbags is there's. They have, depending on how hot the round is. But the problem with beanbags is there's, they have. They're running into recently an issue with having standardized velocities, so you'll have one that comes out at 600 feet per second. You'll have the next one. I'll come out at 900 feet per second. So they're, that's the, the current issue right now. Um, we're looking at 40s, um, using a 40 millimeter, because they're, you know, you're pretty much shooting like a half of a racquetball at someone with the, uh, the exact impacts and those seem to work well and don't have any sort of over penetration issues which beanbags have yeah, um.
Speaker 1brian said uh, youtube, one officer should have locked his legs, agreed? Um? And then Marine blood said, drawing this out, it's getting everyone tired, thus making injuries far more likely. And I don't think you guys realize how deep that comment actually goes. What Marine blood is saying is, when you get tired now, you may have to lean on your lethal weapon because you don't know if you're going to have the energy to fight this guy off if he decides to attack you. So these guys are getting to a point of exhaustion starts making our decision making start to flee and go away.
Speaker 2you know, gross motor, fine motor skills start to be affected and all of that is dictated by the suspect's willful refusal to obey lawful order. So this is not the deputies that are here making this situation worse. This is simply the subject who's been told he's under arrest and his willful disobedience, which causes all of the shootings that we see, are people doing something that the cops tell them that they probably shouldn't be doing, and this is another great example of that skylar said to be honest, I don't want to be on the spicy end of that either.
Speaker 1Uh, dre g said five feet from the end of the muzzle.
Speaker 3Yep, okay.
Speaker 1Fair.
Speaker 2Yeah, like I said, I've never used one, I've seen them, but he's more than far enough away right there to deploy that.
Speaker 1Okay, fair enough. I think we're all We've got right. But if you watch, me.
Speaker 3I don't know where he's been down.
Speaker 6What are you looking for? Get on the ground now. What are you looking for? Get on the ground now. What are you looking for?
Speaker 2Shoot him, that's it.
Speaker 6Get on the ground. You, elroy, I'm not Elroy. Then get on the ground, we can sort it out, but you're going to be handcuffed in the meantime. That's unlethal. He got a gun in his hand. He's got a gun in his fucking hand. That's less than lethal. Calm down. He's got a gun in his fucking hand, right there.
Speaker 3Shut up as soon as he stands up. I'm going to have to cut off his head. I'm going to get him 6-6-6-6-7.
Speaker 6Get on the ground. I'm telling you right now Get on the ground. I don't know if I meant to take it Less lethal, less lethal, less lethal. Get on the ground. Get on the ground. It's a beast. Get on the fucking ground, dude. Get on the ground. Oh lord, get on the ground. Shots fired, shots fired, shots fired, shots fired less lethal. Get on the ground. Shots fired, shots fired, shots fired Less lethal, less lethal, less lethal. Get on the ground Less is deployed times two.
Speaker 6Come on, get on the ground. I know, get on the fucking ground, dude. The next thing Get on the ground.
Speaker 3Yeah, get on the ground.
Speaker 2Yeah, shots fired 428 shots fired in the black yeah, he is yeah, yeah, yeah, he didn't. He didn't hear, he didn't see he, yeah, he has no control of his breathing. That dude is yeah. He is never mentally prepared for that to happen, ever in his career nope, I'm gonna have a controversial opinion on this, maybe.
Speaker 1Maybe to compare to you guys. Um, there's four of us. Um, I agree, I'm fairly confident he doesn't have a weapon. My gun's going to be holstered and I'm. I'm either going to take the rush and hope my boys come and get me. I'm going to keep covered up and do what I got to do to keep this guy from, but he's going to be, he's tired.
Speaker 4Use that momentum and drop him. Yeah, he's coming. You know perfect scenario, obviously, but that's what I would first do, is I'm going to use his own momentum, yeah, and frigging, drop him. We're going to roll, we're going to get frigging cuffs on them.
Speaker 1But I and maybe I'm way off here, but I feel like the exigency was created because you had your gun out and I don't really think you had to. You had four of you there. Move in and earn your paycheck once in a while, like that's just me, like sometimes you're going to get caught, sometimes not, but there's four of you there. You should easily be able to swarm this dude in the middle of an open field. He hasn't presented a weapon yet. I was pretty confident he didn't have one, but I don't feel good about this one. No, but I wasn't there, so I can't say I don't know. Maybe this guy killed somebody with his bare hands, maybe that's what the warrant's for. I don't know. Frank, what do you got?
Speaker 2I don't think my gun would have came out of my holster on this one ever under. I mean there's just. I mean you know, if you're standing there swinging a baseball bat, hey we're. We're having a whole different conversation, but with just because he's big and you're not. Now again he's big and you're 45 seconds or a minute into a physical fight and he's starting to get the best of you again totally and you're alone.
Speaker 2Totally different, yeah, um, but four, motherfuckers four dudes in an open field and the dude just runs at you and you're like well, You've got the perfect scenario.
Speaker 1Like I mean, honestly, that's the perfect scenario for going hands on. That's just how I kind of see that To answer.
Speaker 4Kelly Renee's. Was that calm hands. I think calm hands, we can see right. I believe that's who. I believe the person that shot and I could be wrong was the primary officer that we were first watching the body cam on.
Speaker 1Yeah, I could be wrong, couldn't tell there. Let me go to the. Now that we've gone through all that nonsense, I'm going to go back and read. Charlotte County Dispatch received a call regarding a disturbance. 2200 block Sandy Pine, unincorporated Puta gorda, whatever that means. Um, the owner, 42 year old elroy clark, called to report a tenant on his property was acting erratically. Two deputies arrived at the property and made contact. He told deputies that the tenant was disturbing the peace.
Speaker 1At this point deputies had not identified clark by name. Deputy one spoke with the tenant and others on the property. During the course of the conversations they obtained that Clark possibly had a warrant for his arrest. Okay, so possibly. We hadn't even confirmed it yet. Deputy 2 to contact dispatch to inquire about the possible warrant. They were able to confirm Clark's identity by his photo. Okay, I'm okay with that. He had an active warrant for his arrest. Requested additional deputies to respond in anticipation of detaining Clark. When Deputy 1 approached Clark, he denied being Elroy. Clark provided a false name.
Speaker 1When advised he had a warrant, clark became agitated. We know all this. Did not comply so and chose agitation. Clark said he was calm but that it was not about to be. Okay, we know this? I want to know. Despite the use of a taser baton, clark was able to break free of three deputies, get back on his feet, continue to give him commands. Over the next eight minutes, deputies continued to give Clark commands on the ground to get on the ground but he failed to comply. Retrieved a less than lethal deployed beanbag rounds man. This is not telling me anything. Drew's service weapon. Deputies provided medical aid, including CPR. Clark was pronounced dead. One deputy suffered a head injury from the altercation with Clark. He was treated and released from the hospital. No uninvolved people were injured in this incident.
Speaker 2That's useless. We just watched that video, so we know all that.
Speaker 1That helped us none. Um, I'm just going to the comments here will uh, he is high on personal liberty and said I agree with you, eric. Uh space frog said I agree, but I don't think this is what von would say. Von cleave, uh, from force science. Um, this wasn't him, it was his stunt double yeah well, he said his name was what? Bonday, bonday. Oh, bonday ho, bonday ho. All right, this one's shorter, so let me share this screen here.
Speaker 2That was a long one.
Speaker 1That was a long one, that was a minute minute 52 seconds, all right.
Speaker 1Yeah, this is a shorty. Okay, we're driving along. Looks like we're in the patrol car About to flip a U-ey. It looks like I hope we're chasing speeders about to flip a ue. It looks like okay, so I'm guessing broken down vehicle. He parked behind it to help him out. So for me, I'm gonna put my my lights, my control lights, on, try to direct traffic off to my right hand side and I'll go make contact with the driver. Hey, is everything good? Um, just see you guys are stopped in the middle of the road.

Speaker 1Okay, we gotta go back. I don't know what just happened. What did he see? Did you notice he was going to like it looked like he was going for his gun right away. Watch when the guy gets close. He's 97.
Speaker 3Southbound on the 50 bridge. What the fuck was that?
Speaker 1And for those listening the title of this video if you go to police activity. I was going to do this. This is something new. Somebody suggested to me that listens to this, so if they can go back and find the video, if you want to go back and find this video, it's under police activity and the title of it is Bowie, police officer fires gun at man who left car to retrieve a hat. I didn't how you doing?
Speaker 5You know her. You here to help her. Nah, are you here to help her?
Speaker 1Nah, see what was that quick movement there? Oh, look where his hand is at. Yep, look what he sees. This is what our officer's seeing. He's reaching into his waistband.
Speaker 2Back that up just a little bit.
Speaker 1I want to see his hand.
Speaker 2go into it, see if you can see it.
Speaker 5Are you here to help her? Are you here to help her?
Speaker 2Yep, okay, so okay again. If his hand is there right now, that guy's got the drop on you all right right if you're so worried about it, why would? Why wouldn't you come at a holster right now? I mean create distance if you're so worried about it. I mean jump on them if you're that close and you almost want to. Just I mean there's, there's, yeah, there's a lot of different options, yeah okay.
Speaker 1So, um, like I said, this is why we don't monday morning quarterback, because you got it like just watching that at full speed, like I was like what the fuck happened, but not saying I agree with what he did. But I'm starting to see some of the writing on the wall. This guy's reaching into his waistband coat pocket.
Speaker 5Nah, she's taking me in the house Come here why.
Speaker 2What.
Speaker 3Why.
Speaker 2Did he say show me your hands at the same time he was shooting that guy, or at him?
Speaker 1Gotta go back again.
Speaker 5Are you here to help her? Nah, she's taking me in the house holy, holy shit what's I don't know that's
Speaker 1that dude's gonna get arrested this cop, this cop's gonna get arrested it's a it's thank god.
Speaker 2He's a terrible shot and he missed that guy yeah, that is insane.
Speaker 1And then you had cars driving by Like nah, you know I'm going to. You know you got to be worried about crossfire, you know your backdrop.
Speaker 6Come here. We got a gun. What'd I do? What'd I do? We got a gun. I don't have a gun. I don't have a gun?
Speaker 1I don't have a gun. What'd you do? What'd you do? What'd you do?
Speaker 62-10. 2-10. Send me another unit. What'd you do? Why'd you do that? He's like I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, why'd?
Speaker 1you do. I'm sorry, I was going to help you here, but, holy shit, I want to read what this one has to say. Let's see if it says anything During the brief conversation. Obviously, after the man was there, stranded, motorist which you probably know taken him to the hospital. Moments later he fires a single shot at the man who was getting a hat blown onto the road. The man fell to the ground but was not hit by the bullet. The shot hits a passing vehicle but doesn't injure anyone. Okay, so he did hit a vehicle. Um, immediately warrington starts to apologize. Uh, sergeant robert warrington has been indicted by a grand jury on multiple charges, including one count of attempted second degree murder, one count of first-degree assault, two counts of reckless endangerment, one count of misconduct in the office. Holy shit, oh, this was all announced. This just happened, shit, five days ago.
Speaker 4Wow, yeah, now I don't know what the elements are of second-degree murder. I don't see that being something they can do.
Speaker 1Frank Bolt, this is in Prince George's County, bowie. Yeah, I'm looking at Frank's video photo. What happened to him? What happened to the Frank? He must have had a phone call or something. Um, anyway, yeah, uh, banning. What do you got to say about this one man?
Speaker 4it's hard to judge, man, I mean, but from what we're seeing here, I mean it's, it's, it's, it's tragic. I don't know what he thought he was he's grabbing for. I mean, yes, I saw the same thing you did reaching inside his jacket, type of thing. But yeah, we're not brandishing a weapon, we're not seeing anything. So then the guy had his back to the officer and then I saw a round go off. I mean forensically, I mean we've got to look at the video more, if we're yeah.
Speaker 4It's tough with the angles that we're getting on here, but obviously they've invited this sergeant already, so it looks like uh attempted second degree murder, first degree assault, misconduct, an office and two counts of reckless endangerment yeah.
Speaker 1Brandon sterling said that's the city of buoy. Uh, in prince george, county, maryland. Is that George County, maryland? Is that empty? He said my area, okay. And Anthony Lassalue said someone's getting a big payout. I agree with you there, which is amazing that he didn't get hit. So it's going to be a great payout with zero injury other than the PTSD that you're going to have anytime. You're probably around a cop now, so I agree with that wholeheartedly.
Speaker 1I understand what the cop was saying. I you know I'm not making an excuse for him. I understand saw the guy reaching his pocket and then he starts to pass you and then he starts to kind of turn back towards you with that hand still in the pocket. But totality of the circumstances, man, like what reason would this? You know very rare that you just randomly get attacked. You know they're trying to help like this. Um, oh yeah, it's so weird. Um, but uh, rainblood said I'm not sure he should be charged, but he should put up the badge.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah, bro, you can't be a cop anymore. I just think that's the way that one's got to go. I don't see you recovering from that properly. Brian said I can't believe he was a sergeant. Brandon Sterling said the officer waited until the individual passed him and was at least 10 feet away, yeah, and then officer seemed hesitant, hesitant, yeah, and that's the thing. And I think that's kind of going to what frank said, like why was your gun not out right here when you, like, I would have, you know, been at a high, you know low, ready something. And hey, man, if you're gonna have your hand in your pocket, like let me see what you got, hey, frank's still alive needed more water.
Speaker 1Ah, there we go. I need some water too. We don't have all of our cups out unpacked yet from the move, so I would. I got my wife's. Um, it says safety first drink with a nurse.
Speaker 4Hey, I heard ice in there.
Speaker 1Like the mantra for all cops yeah, whatever Frank's drinking, yeah, he's got ice in there. This is actually water like just high quality H2O. I like it. Dre G said blinders would have saved him.
Speaker 2Yeah you're not wrong yep, uh.
Speaker 1So for those wondering what we say as police, when we're saying blinders, that means when we're driving home, or we're driving to go eat, or we are going to get gas, whatever it is that we don't want to have to take a call um, we keep our blinders on. We just stare straight ahead. Try not to look too left or right.
Speaker 2Ignore anything that's not hellaciously felonious.
Speaker 4Yes, and so the general public watches and understands that. We mean that by very, very small stuff. I mean, obviously, if we see something, we have the duty to act. So let me put that disclaimer out there. We're obviously going to do our job as law enforcement to stop it yeah.
Speaker 1Like for me when I drive home at night. I have a take-home car, so I am in a police vehicle but I'm off duty. So when I'm driving home, I promise you my blinders are on because I'm tired. I had just worked 10, 12, maybe 14 hours, it depends on the day. I am not getting stuck on anything else, especially when I get into the next city, but sometimes things just happen and you have a duty to act and that sucks.
Speaker 2Now does Texas law give you the ability to enforce laws in other cities? Yeah, yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1You just try not to do it we have. We have the same thing here, yeah, um, anthony says he didn't call out shots fired, just ask for a second unit. I don't think he'd come to terms with what he just did.
Speaker 2I think that's all I don't know what, what 210 is? Because he says 210 over and over and that might be their code for shots oh yeah, you're right, um, and you waited till a stream to pour what?
Speaker 1oh oh I got you. I was just talking about you just because I sat down yep, all right. All right, we got two videos left. Um, let me go go to this next one here. Share this tab. What's a biggie size. Get the mute off here and play.
Speaker 2That's terrible.
Speaker 1Alright, where are we? We are in a corn field Nope Okay. Says no audio. So basically, if you're just listening to this later on, it's just a truck trying to drive past two patrol cars following him. That's where the cornfield and it looks like an old Louisiana back road.
Speaker 6I don't know what state it's in.
Speaker 1Yep Old plantation house. If you're going to pit, this is the time to do it.
Speaker 2Just pin that guy in his car, yep, pin him around the driver's side door and be done with it.
Speaker 1Okay, we're just following. Oh, looks like we got a foot bail. Saw the driver's side door open.
Speaker 2That's an old man.
Speaker 1Oh, that is an old man. What the fuck is going on?
Speaker 4Oh, so he stopped him.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, it's the citizen that stopped him. I wonder if he knows him and he ain't going to move that truck. It's got a big-ass trailer on there. What?
Speaker 5Okay, and he ain't gonna move that truck it's got a big ass trailer on there.
Speaker 1Okay, we got a good view of the inside. We got a beanbag on the route okay, oh, I see a gun already.
Speaker 1I think I see a gun. Uh, I think I see a gun. I think he had a gun in his right hand, but we're looking at the view from the dash cam, so this is not a body cam. So now that we know that there's a weapon involved, now we got to play a whole lot different. He's pinned in the vehicle. We have specialized units where I'm at, so we wouldn't necessarily we're not approaching this car. Let me put absolutely not, we're not going.
Speaker 1We're not going up to this car. We're going to call the specialized units in. Uh, let the guys that are a little more geared up and handle this all the time. Your regular patrol people don't deal with this shit. Uh, they're trained for it, but muscle memory ain't the same as these guys that go after violent offenders all day long. So, um, what about you banning as a deputy?
Speaker 4uh well, I mean, here's the deal if I'm, if I'm dealing with this guy, it's just, you know, when I was back, when I was on, it would be just me now dispatch be trying to get me somebody. If the, if a state trooper was not at the border doing rotation or at the Capitol, they're going to be en route. Maybe the game warden's on, but usually I mean I'm going into a felony traffic stop by myself. I'm going to hold that scene. We may be sitting there for a long time, but I'm going home to my family. I want to make sure this guy either goes to jail, safe that type of thing, and we don't have to do that. So I mean I'm going to sit and hold it, especially if that truck's in front of it. Time's on your side and you want to make sure you can see them. So sit in a safe spot.
Speaker 1So you're going to sit and hold it Yep. What are you going to hold?
Speaker 4Well, sitting there holding the scene waiting for somebody.
Speaker 1Yes, yes, yeah, okay, you really like police work.
Speaker 4Way out in left field.
Speaker 1I love this Okay.
Speaker 6Right behind you, woo Jay.
Speaker 1Woo.
Speaker 6What an angle right there, which Tahoe. I'm right behind him, right behind him, yes, right behind him.
Speaker 2Oh, there's plenty of people there. Yeah, we got a lot. Oh, this guy's, there is no reason to go anywhere near that car. Yeah, I call that guy out through the passenger if he all of a sudden becomes compliant and there's not a canine there and there's, you know, it's the middle of the night. It's good that guy becomes compliant. Have him climb out his passenger side because he's pinned. Then you know, start giving them. Then you know you have time, so have everyone turn their sirens off first.
Speaker 1Thank you that's what I was gonna say.
Speaker 2To say Turn them, fucking I can't hear anything but, and then start giving them a very short and concise directions on what to do, which would consist of you know, hey, roll down your passenger side window, crawl over, open the door from the outside and then start the regular felony stop procedures, and you know, obviously you have 10 guys there, so try to get every floodlight you have on that thing.
Speaker 1Don't let him see shit back there behind you. Watch your light discipline, don't cross in front of any of the lights. And, like you said, we got plenty of time.
Speaker 5That's a lot of people.
Speaker 1They've been chasing this dude for a minute. Um, and recognizing what you have. A lot of people never take the time to figure that out Like, oh shit, we got him pinned from the front and we got him pinned from the rear and the side. He's stuck. So, yeah, let's slow it down. Let one person hopefully takes control. That has that leadership ability. But looking at the comments, Marine Blood said letting the professionals do it should lower the chance of injury. However, their team may be 30 minutes away. True, and that's why I think to what Frank's saying is we got them pinned. We got a ton of people with us already. I don't really necessarily have to wait for a specialized unit now, but if it was me and two other patrol guys, yeah, Knowing a gun's involved, I'm going to wait. I'm going to step, step back and I'm going to make you get into my shooting lane.
Speaker 2I'm not going into your shooting lane, so if there's a canine there, you should just send the canine in through that back window and let him eat him.
Speaker 1That's where we disagree, I know, and banning's a canine guy. I like dogs too much. I don't want you to send them into danger that is a.
Speaker 2That is awesome furry very faithful tool.
Speaker 1I know this is a great scenario to use them. I get the argument. Just for the life of me, man, All I think of is my own dogs, and I'm like no you can't send them in?
Speaker 2Well, you're not going to send a poodle in, so it's different.
Speaker 1I have a doberman, sir. Thank you very much. He's a. He's a hundred pounds of beast. Uh, ask banning, he's seen him. I have a big old doggy, uh, and my german short hair. You don't want to send her in, she'll just lick you to death. So, um, I'm going through the comments here. It looks like they're, look like, looks like it's out there always. Yeah, it does. Look like it's out in the sticks. Brandy Sterling said Bam Bam said no super cop toy today, boys I'm holding. For those that don't know, banning is what we call Bam Bam. Anthony says, as Navajo Nation police officer, most of the time we don't have the luxury of second unit. I understand that, and we cover 27,000 square miles, so high-risk stops is essential and I actually went out. Where I met Frank in person was we went to a reservation officer's funeral. I can't remember.
Speaker 2You didn't meet me there because I was out of town.
Speaker 1Oh, that's right, we met on a reservation.
Speaker 2Yes, I met Matt On a different reservation.
Speaker 1Yeah, I met Matt. You were gone, but I met your girlfriend and then I met you at another reservation. That one was.
Speaker 2That was at your conference. Talking Stick yeah, talking Stick. Resort on the Salt River, pima Indian.
Speaker 1Community. Yeah, that was a cool venue as well, but did you?
Speaker 4have a reservation, to be on the reservation.
Speaker 1I did have a reservation.
Speaker 2Eric did. He had a reservation for a room. It was nice to have you.
Speaker 1Yeah, it was a penthouse baby. If you have no dog, just have your rookie bark in the PA. Hey, I've done it, I've done it, I've done it.
Speaker 4Yep.
Speaker 1Outside of buildings where we had an open door. You know I gave it my all.
Speaker 4Stop police canyoning and release the dog. Get in there and do it, man.
Speaker 1But I've watched videos where people have gotten it to work. Sirens need to turn off automatically when the car shifts into park. Agreed, my vehicle. I've got to get mine looked at right now, because when I turn, when I go code 3, my siren doesn't kick on anymore. I don't know what the hell is going on. I have to manually find it, which is awkward. When you're like you turn it on, you're just driving silently with your lights on, you're like it's 2024.
Speaker 4You got to manually find it still.
Speaker 1I'm like what the fuck is happening Will Christ said shoot, you're getting paid to sit there, so why not wait the baddie out? Yeah, I mean, you got time. Ozark Moon said it's been done. Marine Guys got every cop in the county with them there might be every cop in two counties. Yeah, got a shield. Okay, I like it. Now I admit I have a shield for my guys. I've never been trained with that shield, I don't know how to use it.
Speaker 4It's a different animal. I don't care what anybody says.
Speaker 4When you go into a situation with a shield. Also, how did you get the shield? Was it on a grant? Was it a regular law enforcement purchase to where it's actually light and you can handle the damn thing? Or was it a grant and you're carrying a human being on your offhand trying to frigging use it? And I mean that lightly. But you know the the shields that we had at the last agency I was at, it was. It was like you're carrying your partner. If you had one and and you've got this smoked out window on the front and you're trying to, it was too wide, was too heavy, it wasn't long enough. Did I use it? Yeah, that's all I had. Yeah, but dad gum man, they we've. We've got to start getting some better equipment out in these rural areas, yeah I like.
Speaker 1I said I'm. I understand the concept of a shield. Put it in front of you, don't peek. That's what they tell you Okay, so they do know he's got a gun. That's the first time I've heard them say he's got his pistol. So they know he's armed. I don't know. Hold on, alright, frank. What are you thinking right now? Look where that guy pulled up. That makes me nervous. You know he's armed and you just rolled right in front of him. He doesn't have to do anything.
Speaker 2There's absolutely no reason for that guy to be there at all.
Speaker 1You're a SWAT dude, so you.
Speaker 2I don't even understand why you would do that. There is less than zero reason to do any of that.
Speaker 6Yeah, yeah does anyone have a lethal shotgun less lethal?
Speaker 2right hand's empty okay, I, I'm.
Speaker 1I'm keep getting drawn into the truck up there in the other view. So yeah, we're looking at his hands. Right hand is empty. It looks like he's trying to talk to somebody.
Speaker 2But he can't hear it because of the stupid sirens.
Speaker 1Yes, yes.
Speaker 4Couldn't hear what he said there. The way he's moving, looks drunk like it makes me wonder that he may have flashed this gun during the pursuit, in the beginning of it. Maybe I don't even know what county this was in and this may be a suicide. But I hate to say this, but it may be, without knowing all the details, maybe a suicide by cop thing he's doing very, very assertive, open movements. Uh, just what I'm seeing right now yeah, um.
Speaker 1Dustin palmer said I work in fleet, the siren fault in your petroleum sounds like a programming concern. I agree, uh, it like I said, it just started doing it.
Speaker 4So I was like fuck this sucks I think it's a budgetary concern on what they ordered.
Speaker 2Just to be honest because I've been there, my lieutenant would guarantee would be like you shouldn't be running code anyway.
Speaker 5Here's people 16, get up here with less lethal show me your hands show us your fuck you Jesus put your hands in the air.
Speaker 2Put your hands in the air we're trying to help you, boss.
Speaker 6We're trying to help you, boss. We're trying to help you boss Fuck you.
Speaker 1That's what he keeps saying. I mean, look where this guy is Look at that guy.
Speaker 2I know he's in an absolute crossfire with the guys that are on the back passenger side. Yeah, like, what are you doing?
Speaker 1Assuming he's a right-handed shooter Like you, just gave him the most advantageous position other than being in the truck that's directly in front of him.
Speaker 2You're the first person.
Speaker 6Get them out of there. There's people back there. There's people. There's civilians over there. Chip, there's civilians over there. What is?
Speaker 2that guy doing that's the dumbest guy I've seen all day.
Speaker 1We're not supposed to money more than quarterback guys, but that's a dumb motherfucker right there.
Speaker 4So this is a training issue. I've assisted and I'm not going to say the county's names, but I've assisted on different calls and I'm like, hey, where'd you learn that? And he's like, well, I went to the academy 21 years ago. I haven't trained really since then and I'm like these are and it's not necessarily that deputy's fault Granted, I'm a big proponent of if you're not receiving training in your department go out and get your ass some training on the side so you know what you're doing.
Speaker 1You come home every night you don't freaking get somebody hurt. But yeah, well, somebody needs to be saying something that's on his team. Get the fuck out of that lane, move. Like I would be yelling at him. I'm not worried about the bad guy right now.
Speaker 4I'm worried about my boy and who gives a shit about rank?
Speaker 1I mean we don't want blue and blue on this, just yeah, brandon Sterling said that that truck needs to move between that and the sirens. There's just so much that could go wrong and the results in shots fired or super aggressive takedowns.
Speaker 2I don't think sirens have anything to do with a super aggressive takedown. Let me just throw that out there. I don't think those.
Speaker 1Hey bro, it's hard to make a connection.
Speaker 1You ever gone into war listening to let the body hit the floor or anything like that? Maybe that's what he means. Maybe the Sirens get them amped up so they get a little more aggro. Spacefrog says he's trying to find the pistol that normally sits under his driver's seat and slid around during the chase. You're probably right. I think that's probably what he's trying to do. Dustin said sirens can easily be programmed to shut off when the transmission is placed in a park and when a specific door is open. Fair Brian, no weekend Monday morning. Quarterback, that idiot Not.
Speaker 2I don't disagree with you.
Speaker 1I like it All right, I mean sometimes with you, I like it All right. I mean sometimes, you know, it's like the Sandra Massey video. I did not mind Monday Morning Quarterback in that one because the full body cam footage was available. So I was okay with that. Dustin Palmer, at least with Whalen core units I think Whalen with WHE. Oh, okay.
Speaker 4I'm going to grab another water over here, bud All right.
Speaker 1Anthony said his balls are bigger than his brain. Space Frog says the pistol that normally sits under his driver's seat slid around during the chasing. Oh, I already read that. Brandon said Eric, you got my point. Sorry, frank, you're one of my favorites bro. Don't tell him that Ego's big enough over there in Penelope.
Speaker 2Ego's not big at all, man, I just love the love, that's all.
Speaker 6Get out of the way, Sir. Put your hands on the roof.
Speaker 1Look at your guy, put your fucking hands on the roof.
Speaker 6Look at your guy just standing there. Put your fucking hands on the roof.
Speaker 1Now he's kind of on the roof. He's still digging around. He's looking for that gun.
Speaker 5Here I call him. I got a rifle, get one up here and start pumping it.
Speaker 2Show me your hands, leave them on the roof with the sirens. You want a taser on gun, gun, gun. Yep, I'd shoot that guy right there.
Speaker 1Oh yeah, right there, like right, right now, that guy's yeah, bonnie and clyde situation, because they've said one great communication. As soon as somebody saw it, they started yelling it out Gun, gun, gun gun From here. It would have been like Sheriff Grady Judd said why'd you shoot him 87 times?
Speaker 2That's all the bullets we had. We ran out of bullets. I love that guy.
Speaker 1Yeah, he's awesome.
Speaker 4And then they auctioned off the car with body damage.
Speaker 1Okay, so he got a shot off. Let me go back here.
Speaker 2You want a tas? Okay, so he got a shot off. Let me go back here. We had a revolver. He killed that look he has no idea. Guys got shot oh, somebody got shot. Look at the watch. Put that back now. Watch the body worn camera footage oh yeah holy shit.
Speaker 4Well, look at that.
Speaker 2I just realized the title of the video I did, yeah, shoot deputy in head during standoff oh, no, that guy gets one shot off happening in the head. What a shame God.
Speaker 1God, God, God, God Damn Happened on. He died 10 days later, on September 11th. When did this occur? September 1st.
Speaker 2Damn. What a shame.
Speaker 1Lucky fucking shot too. He wasn't aiming, he just fucking fired over. That was a revolver too what he was doing. When he put his fired over, that was a revolver too what he was doing when he put his hand on it he's rocking the hammer back yep, yeah, I don't even know if he totally cocked it, I just think he just so, man, all right, we are on our last video here. We have been going for about two hours. That's about our normal time.
Speaker 2That's our normal.
Speaker 1Yeah, yes, sir, unmute, alright.
Speaker 3This one's about four minutes long 911, what is the location of your emergency In town? So my boyfriend locked himself in the bathroom with a knife and he's trying to take his life. Okay, and what's trying to take his life? Okay, and what's the address there? He stabbed himself before it's on Central. Parkway I'm not sure, I'm just trying to find it. It might agitate him more if he knows that call.
Speaker 2What room number is it?
Speaker 3What room number? Is it One? Yeah, yeah okay. And has he hurt himself? He stabbed himself before Today. He had to get hospitalized and now he's in the room and he fell on the floor. I think he stabbed himself.
Speaker 1I hate these types of calls because it's like what the fuck do you want me to do like you're trying to self harm in a closed room. You're not trying to hurt anybody else. As long as I get the caller out of there and I know nobody else is in there, I'm not a fan of getting in there. What do you think, banny?
Speaker 3Same thing.
Speaker 4But we got to figure out. You know, I didn't hear. You know, is anybody else in the house with him? That's my concern. Does he have children in here? So once we establish all that stuff, then we can safely start talking to him and provide him. Obviously it's an outcry, there's something that's going on, we need to give him some mental help. But I'm right there with you, it sucks doing that, but you know we, we still got to establish that communication, only because there may be somebody else in there.
Speaker 1Right.
Speaker 4And that's the whole thing, is if there's somebody else in there a hundred percent.
Speaker 1But when you get these and you know they're by themselves, I'm just like fuck man. What do you want me to do?
Speaker 2Well, first of all, why do we have to do anything? If we knock on the store, we take that female out and that dude's in there with a knife by himself and there's no one else there and it's confirmed, there's no one else there why are we doing anything?
Speaker 4That's what I'm and that's the whole thing. Is the confirmation reasonable, prudent person telling us that's not intoxicated or high on something, saying I was the only? One in there.
Speaker 2He's in there by himself and yes, we can sit there and and get away.
Speaker 4There's. No, I don't think this is a attack team situation, I don't think there's anything. And but I have been. I've been to three of these, to where the person calling stating the person will harm themselves by themselves. And then, once we've made entry for other factors, we find children in the household and some of them are too young, you know diapers to even take care of themselves. And yeah then you look at a whole other slew of things. But, eric frank, I'm right there with you on the person.
Speaker 1That's yes yeah, I'm just like man, I, I, can we get these suicide calls? I swear, every week I'm just like, okay're going to get here and there's nobody in there. So that's the end of it.
Speaker 2That's it, I'm not forcing my guys.
Speaker 1You get victim services.
Speaker 2Hey, do you have anyone in town you can? You know we'll. We'll transport you to a friend's house, to a family member's house, if not. Victim services has money to put you up in a hotel, whatever it is. We have resources to get them out of there for the night and let that manic episode elapse. And then you know, whatever, when the sun comes up tomorrow, it's different. But there is not a single reason to waste one ounce of resource on someone who's locked in a bathroom by themselves, wanting to kill themselves.
Speaker 1I'm with you, nope.
Speaker 5Hey Sheriff's's officers, come outside. Nothing in your hands, bro. Come outside, ma'am, come out here. Come on here, I need, I need you out here, ma'am, ma'am, just come outside, you come out, ma'am, ma'am, come on, come on, come on, I just need you here right now. Okay, come here, just stay right there.
Speaker 1Is there any weapons to get her weapons inside?
Speaker 5Is there a gun? Just the knife? Okay, just stay right there. Okay, that's fine, that's fine, that's fine.
Speaker 3Don't hurt him, don't hurt him, don't hurt him, don't hurt him, don't hurt him.
Speaker 1This is where I start having the conversation. Alright, dude, we're going to take off. We just had to make sure your girlfriend was good. Is there any way we can help you? We're going to get in our cars, though.
Speaker 2Do you need any resources we can provide? Yeah, can we help you with anything? Can we provide any resource that we have available to us If you want to just be alone in your room. Man be alone in your room, just shut your door.
Speaker 1Have in your room, Just shut your door. Have the best night, that's it. Go away. You can be upset by yourself. Just don't mess with other people. Have a good night. I do kind of think when we get into this mode here we start to create the agitation that may not have been so severe if we would have kind of taken a. Hey, we're getting the fuck out.
Speaker 4Take back a month ago. For what the hot water? No business for that dude even going in the house.
Speaker 1Right.
Speaker 4Yeah, so that's the same. That is the same kind of situation on this. What legal authority do we have to be there, yep?
Speaker 5Hey man, we just want to talk. Man, You're not in trouble. Hey ma'am, come here, I'll do it, bro. Hey man, we'll help you, we just want to talk.
Speaker 6man, You're not in trouble. Hey, ma'am, come here. I need you to come here.
Speaker 5You're so stupid. Hey, ma'am, is there anybody?
Speaker 1Hey, think of he didn't hurt her. She loves him. You didn't hurt her.
Speaker 3She loves you. She wants you to come home To be with her.
Speaker 1To be with her.
Speaker 3Weird FDL.
Speaker 2Negotiating. How do you pull off?
Speaker 3You're trying, stop lying. Can you hear him?
Speaker 1Richard man, we can't hear you from over there.
Speaker 3We're all liars. We're all liars, richard, we're not lying.
Speaker 1In Kim's name. You guys are liars. You don't mean anything to me.
Speaker 3And what I believe it hey.
Speaker 2Richard, if you shut that door, we'll go away. My condolences, my friend.
Speaker 3Richard, we just want to help you, man.
Speaker 1Perry's dead. Richard bro, just do us a favor, drop the knife, bro.
Speaker 6Nobody wants to hurt you. Nobody wants to hurt you.
Speaker 3She doesn't want you to do this.
Speaker 6You got a lot of people out here who care about you, bro. Nobody wants to see you get hurt, man. Richard. Please, richard, please, listen to me. I'm begging you.
Speaker 5All you're doing is allowing him to take it, Richard please drop the knife, man, just come out and talk to us.
Speaker 3I'm by your side. I'll never walk away from you.
Speaker 2Just come out and talk to us.
Speaker 3Oh, lots of shooting.
Speaker 1Ran at him with the knife too. That one was pretty self-correcting. That's why I would have been out of there.
Speaker 2You only do that once. Yep, I would have been out of there.
Speaker 1You only do that once. Yep, I would have been gone. Stop sharing there. We go man a lot of crazy shit tonight, guys, that was some good stuff. Brian Bailey popped on. Brian Bailey has been one of our original supporters, oh gee. Brian Bailey when I had fucking 10 followers like basically, um, helped us get some of the equipment we still use today.
Speaker 4So that's awesome oh gee.
Speaker 1So brian's one of my boys. Um, he's been off the radar for a while. I don't know what he's been up to. I haven't heard much from him. So, um, when people want to unalive themselves, if they truly want to do that, there isn't much anyone can do. I had a coworker at my last job that saw someone eat a bullet, but it failed. He ran into the range and then the guy seriously messed up, but he's still.
Speaker 1I don't know what the rest of that was going to be, anyway, but no, I mean, if somebody's got that in their conviction, they know that that's what they want to do. They're going to do it somehow. I just choose not to be that vessel. So I'm going to eliminate the known armed men and women in law enforcement from that equation and we're going to be out. I agree, I just God. It just doesn't seem like a common practice in law enforcement. That seems like the common practice in law enforcement. That's what I've seen, a lot more than what we just discussed. Even though all three of us agree, it isn't what I've seen practiced.
Speaker 2There could be variables of individual state law that mandate that you. You know that you take some sort of action. I mean, it just happens to be in our States that we don't have to and as long as no one else's lives are in danger, like, have a great night, but you know there might be some sort of duty to intervene. You know, even in the event of after statements of self-harm are made. You know, even in the event of after statements of self-harm are made, you know.
Speaker 2I mean, so it's that's kind of a variable that we don't know. Yeah, Marine Blood said that, the girlfriend thankfully was never going to give him up, and she was never going to let him down.
Speaker 1So I appreciate that. I love, I love the Rick roll roll. Yes, well played, sir, um, but anybody got anything else? Anybody in the chat's got any questions for us? We got frank here, um, for a few more minutes. Anyway, if you guys got questions for frank, hit him up, uh, on this, and if you got questions for me and banning um, I'm trying to think of what we got coming down the pipe.
Speaker 1Just recorded an episode with Sarah Shandy. She is a lieutenant in Ohio. She is an Arabic-American, she's from Egypt and moved over, got her citizenship and now that's kind of her shtick for police work, is policing and understanding the Arab communities and teaching classes to law enforcement for how the culture and hierarchy of all that stuff works. So it was a really interesting episode. She's that girl, is a talker, like in a good way, like she is full of information. She's got her master's degree, teaches uh, look her up on linkedin, guys. It's gonna be a really good episode.
Speaker 1I just uploaded it tonight, um, so it usually generally takes about 24 hours for everything to fully upload, but I bet it's on apple and it's on spotify right now. So if you guys could check that out, we're looking over at the comments. Staying around drawing weapons seems just to agitate further and not help at all. In most of the clips I've seen, agreed. I think it does tend to get things going. The song keeps going. Kelly Renee, thanks for not blocking me tonight. Y'all, I think she's the one I accidentally blocked, she. She is our Republican nominee. Our Democratic nominee is some other guy.
Speaker 2So we have, that's it and that's who we're voting for. So we got two people and Mark didn't make it. So he is not going to be my sheriff after January 1st because there'll be a new sheriff in town and Sheriff Lamb is going to go into the private sector and do other things and be as wonderful there as he has been as my sheriff.
Speaker 1Excellent. Has he committed to any private areas yet?
Speaker 2No, no, he's going to do some consulting time with his beautiful wife and family and put them in the totem pole for a while and just see what kind of opportunities come his way, because he's obviously incredibly sought after, because he's awesome.
Speaker 1Yeah. Brandon Sterling said Northeast area of the country. We do have a duty to intervene. Usually ends the same way as this video Rarely the opposite. As a CIO, these outcomes are hard to swallow. Anthony said Frank, love your videos. Fridays with Frank, I'm a traffic guy. Yeah, traffic guy, love being proactive on the road. And then Ozark said can he still be sheriff?
Speaker 2nope, he cannot so because he couldn't run the primary for two different positions, so he couldn't run the primary for position sheriff and position in the senate. So he didn't run for sheriff, he ran for senate, didn't make it through the primary, um, but another gentleman, a lieutenant within our agency, uh, ran for the primary, made it and he is going to be the guy that hopefully will be taking the sheriff's place passed it off to teeples yep people, for the people, baby I love it, such a cool catchphrase um, but for us uh banning we're gonna get any.
Speaker 4Don't forget about't forget about Brian Bailey's comment down there at the very bottom.
Speaker 1Hello citizen, yes, oh, I see it now. All I want to hear from Frank is hello citizen, hello citizen. I still to this day one of my favorite things that Frank has done, and it's because I have used the same line. It's when the guy tries to tell Frank what crime do you suspect me of committing, or something like that, before I give you my ID, and Frank just basically says I'm going to tell you one more time. This is not a request. You're either going to give it to me or I'm going to tell you one more time. This is not a request. You're either going to give it to me or I'm going to force you out of the car.
Speaker 2Put my hands on you. You're not going to like it.
Speaker 1So that's how you handle that. That's it. I wish I could get more officers to have that confidence, but that is how you shut that.
Speaker 2Knowledge of the law man, that knowledge is power is absolutely true. Yes, knowledge of the law man, that knowledge is power is absolutely true, because you are more assertive when you know that what you, that backing of absolutely everything, you can go up and be undoubtedly assertive and make those decisions like that.
Speaker 2That I mean. You know it's the guy that I told that to was videoing me and chopped it up and, you know, put it out there and it makes me just, you know, he, in his attempt to try to make me look terrible. Um, the fact of the matter is is no matter what, I'm still right.
Speaker 4And.
Speaker 2Arizona law says I'm right, and PCSO policy says I'm right and case law says I'm right. So no matter what that guy's personal beliefs are about the law, what it is, what it should be, his personal interpretation he's not correct and that was obviously upheld everywhere.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah, and it's one of the ways that I've been defusing traffic stops before they can even get like if it's occupied, four times I already know I'm probably having everybody step out. You know, based on where I work and the stuff that I deal with, you know, it's not the middle of the day where I'm writing traffic citations, I'm making down, I'm taking down investigative stops. More than likely, um, we're trying to, you know, catch people with illegal guns and stuff of that nature, um, because of the area that we're in. So in that I'm like, hey guys, you know I'll walk up to the window before we get started. I just gotta let you know that there's two court cases Pennsylvania versus Mims, that's for you, the driver, and then Maryland v Wilson, that's for the rest of y'all. Because of these two Supreme Court cases, I can have you guys step out of the vehicle. So, now that you guys have that knowledge and you're going to be able to look that up when we get done here and you'll be like, holy shit, you just learned something.
Speaker 1Uh, I want the driver to step out with me. I want you all to stay here. My guys are going to watch you and then we're going to have each one of you step out one by one. So don't move around, do anything crazy. My young officers will get, they'll get squirrely. I don't want them to get squirrely. And then you know, normally you'll get a little bit of a laugh or smile. If you don't, then you really know something's up the way that.
Speaker 4I word things Red flags, red flags.
Speaker 1Specific to pull up red flags, because if I can't get you smiling or laughing, then that's because your concentration is elsewhere. And now I want to know where that concentration is going towards. So, frank, you know all about this stuff, man. You do interdiction and whatnot out there on the freeways. Man, frank, I got a question. I've never really run into human trafficking and stuff like that, but I imagine you are in a thoroughfare for that type of thing. What is the craziest human trafficking thing that you've seen out there so far?
Speaker 2Man, I don't know if it's really crazy, but just people, just I mean people stuffed in car trunks and you know, bodies stacked up on top of each other and backs SUVs and under the tonneau cover of trucks, and just people just coming into the country at absolutely any way they can.
Speaker 1So we do, we do a lot, a lot more smuggling than oh, ok, then people being held against their will, right, yeah, we don't we don't deal with that a whole lot in Santan or in Pinal County.
Speaker 2It's not to say that it's not there, because it absolutely is, but in my specific job in traffic we just don't deal with it a whole lot.
Speaker 1I got you.
Speaker 4And Eric, just an hour northwest of you up where I was at, I think we had seven cases of human trafficking in the past two years that were legit, based on the interview and Ray Juste statements, everything that was going on and arresting on site and removing those people from people doing it.
Speaker 1I plan to. I'm friends with Jaco Bullions, who's enormous in the human trafficking realm, and so I'm planning on getting him on. It's just he's a busy dude and he's like he's so humble and eager to get his message out there, like he'll go on somebody that has 10 followers on his podcast. So because he's that passionate about what he does, brandon Sterling said I want to tell you guys I follow other officers, like Officer 401. I haven't actually heard of that one, so I'm gonna look him up. Uh, don't know what happened to him.
Speaker 1probably got busy on the job or ran out of content ideas oh okay, mike the cops og yeah, I've had mike on here, uh, mike's from michigan, where I'm from, so, uh, and he's a big jujitsu guy, so me and mike, we, we get along, he said, but you three guys are by far my favorite oh thanks buddy you ain't so bad um, anthony said living on the mountain of right, love it. Uh, brian bailey, I considered speeding in santan valley on vacation to get a ticket from frank. You know what? I bet that's a popular thing now.
Speaker 2It's literally a thing, and there's way better ways to meet me with way less points on your license.
Speaker 1What I plan to do is, one day I'm going to visit Arizona and I'm going to call Mark or I'm going to call Matt.
Speaker 5You better make it quick.
Speaker 1And I'm going to say, hey, hey, where's frank set up? Let me know, I'm gonna go blow his doors off. Let everybody know that I'm coming and just. And then when you I'm gonna pull over, I'm not gonna like not pull over, but I'm gonna go by, and then you're gonna come up to the window and I'll be like fuck you.
Speaker 4So I'm gonna be like terrible idea I want to talk to your supervisor right now so everybody knows the badges that we're selling is actually going to be like.
Speaker 2I want to talk to your supervisor right now so everybody knows the badges that we're selling is actually going to be the bail money that we use for air.
Speaker 1I'm not getting out of this car, Frank. Let me see them hands.
Speaker 3Let me see.
Speaker 2So, anthony, I see that you said does Pinal County use highway safety grant for funding the traffic unit? Partially, yes, we use money from the Governor's Office of Highway Safety and it will fund enhanced traffic enforcement. So like a STEP grant, click it or ticket DUI enforcement, saturation, patrol stuff like that.
Speaker 1Skyler said one of you three have a good set design. Um, I'm gonna guess you're definitely not talking about banning because he's in a hotel banning looks like, or maybe it is. Yeah, the whole set design for something else exactly so why do you feel you qualify for this job? Oh gee, uh, let me see here. Uh. Pmg said I've got your bail money, eric hell yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1Uh, she said y'all are an awesome trio. I know I try to get frank on here more often. Now he's, you know, he's got his own thing.
Speaker 2So he's yeah, it's again like because I'm in that class. I have different schedule this week, so most of the time I'm still working till about eight.
Speaker 4So when you're on that mountain of right, the signal didn't always reach so right little plug little plug.
Speaker 1Yeah, I like it, uh. So what we're going to do this episode? We'll upload it to the podcast channel. Make sure you guys go check that out, please. I'm not asking for your money. If you can't afford it, that's great, I understand. As a broke-ass cop myself, I ain't got money to do stuff. However, it costs you nothing to just like follow, subscribe, and it only takes a few seconds. If you guys could do that for us and if you've already done that, thank you and if you could get somebody else to do it, that would be awesome. That's how we keep this machine going. I would also love it if you guys would go to FridaysWithFrankcom, check out all his stuff, especially that coin that he's selling for breast cancer awareness. Hit that one up, because that is directly helping a nonprofit. So please do that, that one right there, and also go to Frank's YouTube channel that has millions of people following it already.
Speaker 2So I really don't want to Millions is an exaggeration.
Speaker 1You get millions of views. No, that's true, you do get millions of views. You know that's true, you get millions of views. So, um, make sure you guys go check out frank and and like, share, subscribe all his stuff as well. I'm sure you guys already do that. That's how I found frank, like I was sharing his stuff and I was like I need to reach out now. We're now, we're friends now we're like besties, I know we're now.
Speaker 2We're drinking in hotel lobbies together. I know, know and guys.
Speaker 1Frank is taller than you expect.
Speaker 2I hear that all the time. I just had a little meet and greet on Sunday and the number one thing that I heard was you're taller in person.
Speaker 1You're like 6'2". You're a big dude.
Speaker 2I'm 6'2", 230. I am a full-size human.
Speaker 1Yeah, I think your neck is like I got. I got kind of like a skinnier neck from my frame and I think that's that's you and me, like that's where we're deceptive in our size. You're taller though, um, because people are always like you know, like what do you weigh, levine?
Speaker 2I'm like about 190, almost 200 really I weighed in high school my left leg. Batting's listening to both of our weights.
Speaker 4Oh yeah, that's cute. I'm sitting there thinking, man, you guys got necks.
Speaker 3I don't.
Speaker 1Batting's beard weighs as much as me, oh shit. But yeah, if we can start making this more a regular thing, guys, we will, I promise.
Speaker 2frank is definitely down he just, I am definitely, I'm like next weekend, I'm uh, I'm on a mule deer hunting trip on the weekend. After that I'm on a whitetail hunt trip oh, where you go I am going to utah for mule deer and south dakota for whitetail oh nice. And then I got a couple weeks off and then I have a cow elk hunt, uh in northern arizona and then a couple weeks after that then I'll be back east shooting hell, yeah, uh, shooting white tail and ducks and geese nice um muleys.
Speaker 1In my experience, uh, because I grew up hunting white tail in michigan muleys are stupid I have heard that they're dumb. So I I was trying to get um, I'm hunting ridge to ridge, so they were kind of down in this valley, uh, in montana, so we crawl up and I crawled a little too much and spooked them and I'm like shit, and they ran right over the ridge and my buddy's like don't worry, they'll be on the other side. As soon as you're out of sight, they stop. I'm like what?
Speaker 2and he's like, yeah, he's like so, like a whitetail that'll run to the next county yeah, right, exactly, whitetail is like nope, I'm out.
Speaker 1That means there's predators everywhere for the next 30 miles. And uh, he was right, crawled up to the ridge. We actually got a closer shot than what we would have if we hadn't spooked him, so it was wonderful. I'm like, okay, they're dumb. Um, and then that's where I really learned like you need to be really, uh, intentional in your shot placements and stuff, because I shot mine, I spined him, oh he, it paralyzed his back legs and he dragged himself over another ridge and dropped like 40, 50 feet. So we had to go down and get him and, oh my God, that was a fucking nightmare.
Speaker 4That's called tenderizing right, yeah.
Speaker 2That would be my first mule, Lisa. That's what I'm hoping. I'm going with a great organization called Operation Play it Forward. It's a nonprofit that takes veterans hunting.
Speaker 2Oh nice Yep. So super cool. Nonprofit. A couple guys from my agency are involved in it. I, although not a veteran, donated a ride-along. They raffled off a ride-along with me with the approval of my entire chain of command. They raffled off a ride along with me with the approval of my entire chain of command. Raffled off a ride along to raise money for this non-profit so that they could take veterans hunting. And as a thank you to me for doing that, they asked me to tag along on a hunt. So I'm going to go with the guy that I work with that is a vet.
Speaker 1We're on the SWAT team together great dude very, very deserving of um the recognition they provide all the stuff, rifles and all that to use. Oh bro, hey, I'm in the military, I'll fucking hunt with you, let's go that's it, so it's uh.
Speaker 2So this is this is my first kind of dabble into it, but, um, guys that I really respect are are members of that, of that organization and up in the upper echelon of it, and they speak very highly of it. So I'm going to learn more about it this coming week, so I actually leave a week from this time next week I'll be there.
Speaker 1Okay, let me know. If it's something you're into, I'll add it to my website. I basically have a non-profits website or tab on my website that I just add and just keep putting you know everything that.
Speaker 1What ones that you believe in, or yeah, ones that I, that I buy into where I know a hundred percent of the money is going to the cause and all that stuff. You know, wounded warrior in the I don't know if you guys know the story behind that, but the warriors were not getting the money. So anyway, all right, guys that, but the warriors were not getting the money.
Speaker 2So anyway, all right guys it's been fun.
Speaker 1Uh, two and a half hours. Uh, frank banning, stick around after this. But everybody else thanks for playing and we will catch you on the next one sounds great.
