I really do love this podcast but it strikes me as insane how ignorant and naive the hosts are. It’s like they’re so white and privileged they’ve never once heard of police corruption. Obviously there are good and bad cops but come ON do some research before committing to an entire podcast. Their response to some issues kill me 😅
Thank you for sharing your stories. I believe you’re doing a service to all of us not in law enforcement by sharing your and your guests’ voices and experiences. It’s heartening to know you’re all out there. Human. Even though you’re faced with daily crises that would shake the humanity of anyone.
Great special guests... Detectives sharing cases they handled. Hosts do a good job providing insights and some "color commentary." Because of the specific format, the cases handled are solved.
I just listened to Times up and can’t even understand how these people were able to adopt all these kids?!? How are these people vetted? It’s unsettling knowing that this type of people can easily adopt.
It’s ok to go into the darkness when you have Lisa from the Simpsons, Paul Holes the golden state killer hottie & the twins. I have twins! Love the relatable banter to lighten the darkness. My hair is also on fire! Thank you😘
