Officer Brad Lunsford Case
On this episode Gary and Anthony look at the case against Ofc. Brad Lunsford. The Soro's funded Attorney General of New Mexico ignored the reasonable officer standard for use of force incidents and charged Ofc. Lunsford with voluntary manslaughter in a complete miscarriage of justice. His trial is happening right now and we break down the incident and why Ofc. Lunsford operated as any reasonable officer would have. In addition germophobia, Presidential Executive Orders, and Punxsutawney Phil are all addressed and we reveal the new name that's coming for the podcast!

Dangerous Hesitation: Did It Play A Role In An Officer's Murder
It's the season one finale of Lowe Expectations! Gary and Anthony tease season two coming in 2025 and banter about the election outcome. In addition they provide an update on the Daniel Penny manslaughter trial. Much of the episode is focused on the dumpster fire that is Chicago and how it's affecting the police officers who work there. They highlight a public safety advisor in Chicago who makes over 100k per year but fails to keep her vehicle legal and has outstanding warrants. They turn their main focus on the murder of Ofc. Enrique Martinez in Chicago and why the political landscape of this city caused him and other officers to hesitate on the traffic stop that cost him his life. Officers used to say they'd rather be judged by 12 then carried by 6 but that sentiment is changing. Many officers are finding themselves engaged in dangerous hesitation. Anthony highlights his own examples of hesitation and he and Gary discuss why it's so dangerous for officers.

A Justice System Adrift
**This episode contains mature subject matter** Gary and Anthony are back behind the mics for episode 20! Gary starts the episode doing his best to offend drone pilots and questioning the "pilot" title they give themselves. They again talk about the border mess as the presidential election looms. But the main part of the episode is spent discussing two disturbing cases that show our justice system is adrift. The first is a case involving the alleged murder of a baby in South Carolina. The second is about a judge making a ruling which forces tax payers in Indiana to pay for sex change surgery of a violent murderer. This drives a conversation about the state of our justice system and at times it's promotion of evil. They question how we've drifted so far away from standards, where those standards come from, and why we can still have hope.
