    627. BREAKDOWN: Deadly Ambush of Officer Jamal Mitchell
    Aug 30 2024
    Former Raleigh Police officer Eric breaks down the body-worn camera video released by Minneapolis Police Department which captured the May 30th shooting that left one officer dead, as well as the man who ambushed him.

Kennedy Jr's remarks right the moment he pointed out that Kamala Harris has not sat had a single interview since she became the Democratic presidential nominee-- another example of the media covering up for itself and their politician of choice.

To the cynic, control and taxation but traditionalists say it's the foundational core of the nuclear family, which poses the largest threat to the power of the state. And what of the rights of women?

Is love necessary for staying in a marriage, or will marriage keep you in love?

    623. BREAKDOWN: Daniel Saavedra-Arreola Shot By Police
    Aug 23 2024
    Daniel Saavedra-Arreola was hiding from Albuquerque Police this past January in a vacant building. Officers found him inside a closet, and he came out swinging a knife and a pipe. Officers responded with deadly forces and Saavedra-Arreola did not survive. Police officers knew a suspect was there-- they are seen on cameras calling out for him in the apartment, his exact location unknown, to show himself and surrender peaceably. An officer was almost injured, and a taser was deployed before more lethal force, but to no effect. Now the video cam footage has been released but the state's attorney hasn't decided yet whether or not to charge the four officers involved-- leaving them to be judged instead by the court of public opinion, all of whom may form an actual jury later. Former cop Eric and current cop Tyler go through the footage and break it down-- would they have done it differently? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
