Severed Fingers, Mushrooms, and Officer Created Jeopardy
What do severed fingers, mushrooms, and officer created jeopardy have in common...well a lot actually. On this episode Anthony and Gary open up the comments section to their content and share some laughs about some of the interesting feedback they've received. Plus they check in on the so called "experts" who have recently testified during the trial of Officer Schurr. One of them coined a term "officer created jeopardy" and they discuss why it should have nothing to do with the reasonableness standard the police are held to. Then they tie that into a police call for service in Oregon where a man decided to get high on mushrooms, burn himself, and cut off his fingers. This man is now suing the police as he claims they didn't do their job. Plus a woman in Kansas City stabbed fire fighter, Graham Hoffman, to death and the actions of the police are again under fire instead of the actions of the criminal.

Portland PD Leader Shows Hatred For The Public
Gary and Anthony start the episode chatting about what Easter means to them and the Hope it gives to them even in the midst of all the madness in the world. That madness includes a Portland PD incident where a police leader has officers abandon their duty to protect the public, allowing a criminal to do as he pleased and literally deciding to do nothing to stop him. They also discuss the tragic case involving the murder of Austin Metcalf and how identity politics focuses on outward appearances and not on content of character. They provide an update on Ofc. Christopher Schurr's upcoming trial and also briefly discuss the arson incident at the PA Governor mansion. **Video from KATU ABC2 Portland** Podcast Website: https://www.diakonosacc.com/ Link to Gary Lowe/Lancaster Leather: https://www.instagram.com/lancasterleather/?ig FOLLOW US ON SOCIALS: X: https://x.com/OfficerAWeaver Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DiakonosACopsCalling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lowe.expectations.official/?igsh=eTVzODVkb2JtMDZp&utm_source=qr #police #backtheblue #christian Music on podcast by b-minor-95-bpm-bb-king-style-145882 from Pixabay.

It's Time To Rethink De-Escalation
On this episode Gary and Anthony take a look at a recent incident involving a suspect brandishing a chainsaw in a retirement home. The video demands a discussion on hesitation by officers that seems to be driven, in part, by a focus on de-escalation. Are trainers doing a disservice to officers in training when they don't better define de-escalation and when and how it should be used? They also take a look at a recent incident in Rochester, NY (a sanctuary city) where officers were thrown under the bus by city leadership after assisting federal officers on a tense traffic stop. Additionally they take a look at a female Miami PD officer who failed to intervene in a beating taking place right in front of her which reopens a discussion on the 30x30 initiative. An update on the cases against Ofc. Mac Marquette and Ofc. Brad Lunsford are also provided and discussed.
