Thanks for bringing so much experience to share❣️
Thank you for doing this podcast. While being very informative, the most important is the reasoning. It humanizes law enforcement while explaining the “why” that can be confusing and frustrating. I have always believed that if people understood the split-second decisions you guys have to make in awful circumstances almost daily it would put things in a clearer perspective. Keep up the great work. Thank you guys for all you do and God Bless!
Thank you for allowing Sean to tell his story, he is amazing .
Interesting guest and topic. However. Pet peeve….in the crime talk world, whether by LE or citizens, the word female is used to discuss women. This guest did that constantly. It dehumanizes women. Rarely do you hear men, even criminals, referred to as male. Very irritating.
Just started listening and live you guys already. Thank you for your service.
