good afternoon this is Daniel here with
cops and cons TV I just want to welcome
everyone to our weekly live show we're
going to get into and break down just
some of the most important and
interesting issues in policing and
stories when it comes to news and crime
there was so much that happened this
week so we got a lot of stories this
week to get through while I'm going
through some of these stories and some
of these incidents that happen if you
have any questions or comments or you
have a different take on some of the
things that we're going to talk about
make sure you put it in the chat so I
can address it and we can kind of go
back and forth a little bit again just
want to appreciate everybody being here
if you haven't already please go and
subscribe to our Channel at cops and
cons TV so you know exactly when all of
our new videos come out and so you know
exactly when we're going to do this live
show usually we do it on Fridays at 12
o'clock mountain time again my name is
Daniel if you want to go ahead and
follow me on social media at police law
news just about everywhere okay so let's
see uh we did ask where everyone's from
we got someone from Delaware from
Australia Virginia Road Rhode Island all
right greetings from California yeah
there are absolutely a lot of topics to
talk about and and get through today and
the first one that I want to start with
is pretty much the biggest news that has
hit you know everything from Sports
media to Fox to CNN it's essentially
everywhere because it's the biggest
Story the last 24 48 hours and it's the
WNBA star Brittany Greiner was freed
yesterday uh right before the show it
looks like she had landed in San Antonio
and she's being checked out on a
military base now I'm gonna be real
honest I love sports I follow
professional sports but I don't follow
college sports and I don't follow the
WNBA so before all this happened I had
no idea who Brittany Greiner was and my
guess is a lot of people are in that
same category but it's here here's what
happened with Brittany Greiner so she
plays in the WNBA but in the off season
in order to make extra money a lot of
the really popular WNBA stars that go
overseas and they play in different
leagues and a lot of time they can
actually make more money playing in
Russia or turkey or or Spain or some of
these other countries they can make more
money doing that than
they they Sergeant church that thank you
so much um so they can actually make
more money doing that than they do
playing in the WNBA so Brittany Greiner
for several years she has gone to Russia
and played there in the off season well
this time when she was going to Russia
to play she had some cannabis hashish
oil in a vape pen and she was stopped at
by airport security or whatever the
Russian version of the police or Customs
are she was taken into custody she went
to trial but you know I was looking up
some stats because I was curious what
does it really mean to go to trial in
Russia and according to NPR
people who go to trial in Russia over
the last 20 years they have a 97 percent
conviction rate and they're the
prosecutors there just must be
unbelievable so you know so you know
that once you go to trial you're going
to be found guilty so Brittany Greiner
was found guilty and she was sentenced
to nine years in what is really like a
hard labor camp so she was actually sent
to like this penal colony
um within the last couple weeks um
however President Biden the state
department they were able to work out a
deal where essentially there was a
prisoner swap and they had talked about
this for a really long time probably
about six months or longer because
Brittany greiner's been there for 10
months so pretty much so pretty much
they've been we're talking about this
prisoner swap for about 10 months now so
you know what happened is there was an
exchange for
um Victor Boot and Victor boot he was a
Russian arms dealer and his nickname was
The Merchant of death so we traded and
he was convicted in the United States
and not in uh the type of Court where
there's a 97 percent conviction rates
but he was convicted in the United
States and sentenced to 25 years in jail
so we traded the United States traded
The Merchant of death Victor boot for
Brittany Greiner there was an exchange
in Dubai yesterday so let's dive into
this a little more so what Brittany so I
think the first thing that we have to
say is that no matter what side of the
political aisle you're on or what WNBA
team you follow or don't you probably
don't no matter what that happens to be
being arrested for something like this
is absolutely ridiculous not only is it
ridiculous to be arrested for something
like this but then to have to serve nine
years in jail for a little bit of
hashish oil I think we can all we can
all look and be objective and say that
silly but we also have to say well these
are the laws of another country so you
have to follow the laws of the country
that you're in it isn't like you know
she was rounded up here and arrested for
that when it really wasn't against the
law no these are the laws in Russia and
yes they are absolutely ridiculous but
those are the laws that they're able to
have so there's been a lot of
politicians and sports figures people in
the media saying that she's being
unlawfully detained or illegally
detained well not according to Russian
law according to Russian law she broke
their law so the idea of her being
illegally detained um that really isn't
a thing that's not true a morally
detained sure hell this hell the hell
there's a pawn so they could do this
prisoner exchange to get back The
Merchant of death absolutely and so when
it comes to it a lot of people they
aren't really upset that Brittany
Greiner is is Home Free you know anytime
there's an American situation like this
where people can get them back a lot of
people aren't that upset but one of the
things that happened here that made this
so much more complicated is this
happened right on the Eve right before
Russia invaded Ukraine so
um right before it it went to war with
Ukraine this is when this happened and
that that's made this all the more
complicated now in talks I think a lot
of people maybe would have been a little
more okay with is is that in toxin in
the media there's been speculation that
not only words were the United States
state department going to try to get
back Brittany Greiner but other people
who've been in prison in Russia for
longer periods of time the first one is
Paul Whalen so Paul Whalen is he was a
marine and he was um uh last year he was
let's see Paul Whalen he was in 2018 he
was arrested and prosecuted in Russia
for Espionage charges that he says are
just ridiculous charges and he was
sentenced to 16 years in jail for that
so he's been in prison for about four
years now so a lot of people thought
that in this prisoner exchange this
would be a chance to get back Paul
Wayland well that didn't happen Paul
whalen's Family actually went on the
news and they really said the only thing
that they can say probably what they're
thinking is is hey this guy he served he
served our country he didn't do these
crimes and he's actually been there you
know three years longer than Brittany
Greiner you're going to let him stay
there but you're gonna do what you can
to get get her out so that's probably
what his family is thinking but that's
not what they said obviously because
President Biden is still the president
so you have to say these kinds of things
so they were well coached and their
public statement was is that they were
extremely happy that Brittany Greiner is
going to be able to go home to her
family and we hope that the state
department doesn't forget about Paul
Whalen so that was if you're if you want
President Biden the state department to
try to do something soon that was the
right thing to say though that probably
wasn't honestly how they're feeling also
there's someone else who's been held in
Russia his name is Mark Vogel and I
actually think that there's more of a
connection with Mark Fogle than than
there is with Brittany Greiner and
that's because of the underlying
criminal charges and and uh what what
they were convicted of so Mark Vogel was
convicted last year for having 17 grams
of medical marijuana for a spine
condition that he has he was convicted
last year for this in Russia he's a
teacher who's been over in Russia for
quite a long time and he was sentenced
to 14 years in jail so he was actually
convicted just about a year before
Brittany Greiner was arrested so this is
another example of an individual who was
you know held for similar charges has
been there longer yet Brittany Greiner
is the one who gets out and you know of
people who like to make comments about
this is like LeBron James so he says the
most ridiculous things and one of the
things he said when Brittany Greiner was
first arrested he said you know if it
was me if it was me LeBron James and I
was over there they would have gotten me
out already so he said that within the
first 30 days that Brittany Greiner was
there essentially he's trying to make
this woke argument saying that because
she's a black lesbian female that's the
reason why the United States government
isn't getting them out of course not
realizing that there were at least two
white straight uh heterosexual males who
are there and who Brittany Greiner
actually got out before so you know the
idea that she's a black lesbian female
and that she's a sports athlete that's
where her privilege comes from and
that's why she was released before these
other hostages
um so I just want to put that out there
because that is what happened
um exactly uh in the last couple days
and uh oh happy birthday thank you so
much yeah I just turned 40 this week so
um I know I have a lot of gray hair but
yeah 40. thank you and um I should all
say that when it comes to the Brittany
Griner case um one of the mercenaries
that the United States uses a lot of the
times this negotiator Bill Richardson he
was the former Governor of New Mexico
when he was the energy secretary I
believe under Obama
um so he did have uh maybe wasn't Obama
maybe it was before that but he was
Energy Secretary at some point and he
was the governor of New Mexico he helps
a lot um in cases like this with trying
to get out and negotiate for people
getting out of North Korea and Russia so
um Bill Richardson did help out and it
looks like he was the energy secretary
under Clinton and then he became the New
Mexico Governor for two terms he's
calling Big Bill
um so that's the Brittany Griner story
so you know she's home that's that's
great you don't want any American to be
stuck over there in Russia but it's just
a lot of people are irritated because
other people who have been there longer
you know it a lot of people think and
I'm one of them then when it comes to
hostage situations like this that you
should really treat it like a college
bar on a Friday night like first in
first out you know like there is no
skipping in line so um there's a lot of
that sentiment out there
um next case I want to talk about is
Antonio Brown so we hit on this last
week and you know while we went on the
air last week I kind of teased that hey
at any moment now the Antonio Brown is
the former uh Pittsburgh Steelers uh
wide receiver who was involved in a
domestic incident and he barricaded
himself in his home and Tampa police
were trying to get him out
um but what happened is that this
happened essentially last Thursday
evening
um at about seven o'clock at night so
you know maybe you know 15 hours or so
before we went live here so you know
really we were kind of thinking well
listen at any moment either the police
are going to burst in there or Antonio
Brown is just going to give up after 15
hours and finally come out but here we
are a week later until Antonio Brown is
still holed up in his house police have
a warrant for a battery on a household
member which is a misdemeanor charge
um apparently they don't have like a
SWAT team sitting out there anymore but
they have made multiple attempts in
order to try to get him to count and
surrender he's refusing because he
doesn't want to go to jail and he um and
he also isn't um uh he is there but
there still is a police presence outside
of his house and I just want to say that
yes the first two stories that we went
over were sports related isn't a sports
channel this is still about breaking
down the most interesting uh stories and
news in policing uh let's see uh I'll
believe everything we trade an
international arms dealer and close
friend of Putin and his oligarch buddies
for a Doper yeah so that's that's a lot
of the a lot of the sentiment
um that's that's what what we hear a lot
uh let's see any other comments about to
Brittany Greiner no other comments I'll
believe everybody let her try that in
Saudi Arabia yeah that would that would
be that would be difficult yeah I mean
so a lot of people have been comparing
this trade to like you know um the the
Victor booth for Brittany Griner a lot
of people have been comparing that to a
trade that like the Denver Broncos made
for a quarterback so um so the next case
that I want to talk about so this
happened in Phoenix uh the first two
stories are you know more not silly but
you know they're kind of light-hearted
sports stories so this this incident in
Phoenix this isn't real light-hearted
this is this is a serious case that we
need to talk about so it happened back
in October on October 27th in Phoenix
here's what happened it's a 38 year old
guy named Harry Denman and two Phoenix
police officers went into a convenience
store a gas station and as they walked
out 38 year old Mr Denman started
talking to the police officers this is
on security camera video and we're going
to go ahead and Link the the video for
the body cam footage and the
surveillance video but he started to
talk to the police officers and it
seemed friendly it didn't seem like
there was anything strange about it the
police officers got in their police
vehicles they backed out of the parking
space and they were actually in route to
another call for service as they were
backing out into the parking space for
some reason and seemingly for absolutely
no reason Mr Denman pulled out a gun and
he started to shoot the gun towards the
police cars the first shot that he fired
hit the ground and the second shot that
he fired the first shot hit the ground
and the second shot that he fired
actually went and struck the uh actually
struck the police car on the driver's
side so the light that the police have
on the spotlight and the door frame
that's where the bullet struck so
obviously the police officers were
incredibly nervous about this and uh you
know I mean it's a it's a jarring thing
to be shot at so what what happened was
the police officers got out of their car
and at that point and at that point what
happened is
um the individual Mr Denman he ran back
into the convenience store police
officers chase him into the convenience
store and at that point he pretty much
gave up he went down on his knees he put
his hands up and you at least in his
hands you weren't able to see any type
of gun or firearm your weapon in his
hands however the police officers they
were a little excessive um they placed
him in handcuffs um they were pointing
guns at him even once he was in
handcuffs they were pretty much pointing
the gun right up to his body in his head
they they said things uh to the to to
the effect of um uh they said things to
the effect of um uh uh don't
shoot at us I'll blow your head off
um and you know when the police officers
made those comments Denman said I wasn't
trying to shoot at you I was trying to
shoot over you which is really strange
however a couple times while Mr Denman
was in handcuffs the police officers did
um punch him and hit him while he was in
handcuffs Not only was this recorded on
their own body camera and store
surveillance video but the clerk who was
right there was recording this on his
cell phone so I think you know what
happens next even though the individual
was arrested for you know attempted
murder on a police officer because of
the claims of of excessive force and the
body camera footage that's out there
both officers have been on paid leave
there's an internal affairs
investigation so this is one of those
those things where police officers are
human and any human no matter who they
are you can imagine a situation where if
you actually get shot at that you're
going to be a little irritated I mean
that's a jarring thing to happen to
anyone so the police officers obviously
wasn't in their the police officer
obviously weren't in their complete
right mind
um when when they did this meaning like
it's it's reasonable for anyone to be
upset and angry and have adrenaline
going however it's just so important to
remember that now someone like this who
just tried to kill you now they might
lose their jobs over this because of the
allegations of excessive force so the
individual is still under arrest he's
still being prosecuted but the police
officers have been put on leave it's
it's a good rule no matter what the
circumstances is that once the handcuffs
go on the fight's over that's it it
doesn't matter if there cameras if
there's not cameras once someone's in
handcuffs the fight is absolutely over
um so yeah so that's that's the the case
in Phoenix and the reason why I'm
talking about it now
um is that this did happen in October
however however now
um the body cam footage and some of
these Revelations just came out from the
Phoenix uh the Phoenix Police Department
uh let's see uh
uh Sergeant George uh Harry Denman was
mentioning how he had no resentments
towards the police yeah I mean which is
which is strange again Sergeant George
you're 100 right because like the
initial interaction was normal it was a
normal interaction that they had nothing
seemed strange she didn't swear at the
officers they didn't yell at him there
wasn't any kind of an argument before
this happened and then he starts
shooting at the police car and his
explanation is it's not like oh hey this
was an accident or you guys I mean
his explanation was I was trying to
shoot over you which is just which is
absolutely strange so it's unknown right
now if there's any kind of a mental
health um uh uh part to this or if
there's no narcotics on board but it's a
very strange thing to happen
um typically that's not what police
officers are going to get when they have
a normal interaction with someone
getting their cars leave those people
typically don't fire at them uh let's
see um Phoenix police chief Michael
Sullivan he did give kind of a statement
he said at the time of the incident
occurred I promised a complete and
thorough investigation and he said the
the investigation has been turned over
to the DA's office with the
recommendation for charges against the
police officer so not only is there
um not only is there a
um
administrative investigation but also
criminal investigation against the
police officers for excessive force so
um yeah so that's that's the case in
Phoenix Arizona we'll keep you updated
on that if those police officers happen
to be charged we will go ahead and talk
about that uh we put out a video earlier
this week another case in Tampa Bay I
know someone in here uh mentioned on
Tampa Bay oh let's see uh Brian Brian
Tampa says I hear the Antonio Brown
story every day on the Tampa news well
there's a lot of Tampa news today so uh
what happened in Tampa Bay is also they
had their police chief resign so we
actually were going to link the video to
it but we we put up we put up a video
this week
um we're gonna play it here for you but
we put up a video this week about the
Tampa Bay Police Chief
um getting pulled over so here's what
happened so the Tampa Bay Police Chief
is a female police chief her name is
Mary O'Connor and she is the passenger
in a golf cart her husband was the one
driving the golf cart and they live and
they own property in this like gated
community where that's it's a private
community so essentially if it's private
property typical normal traffic laws
just don't really apply right so um
these golf carts they're not registered
you know they don't have license plates
or anything like that so what happened
was for some reason they left the
private gated community and her husband
started to drive around outside in the
real Community like on an actual public
Street well he didn't have any kind of a
registration or license plate so the
couple were pulled over once they were
pulled over almost immediately she
identifies herself she identifies
herself as the chief of police of Tampa
she shows her badge and she says
something to the effect of I'm hoping
you'll just let us go tonight the
officer the deputy who did the traffic
stop said you know the reason that he
stopped him is that there's been a lot
of complaints about this exact kind of
thing people taking these vehicles that
are just meant to be on private property
because they're not registered onto the
public property and that's why now worst
case scenario let's let's walk this down
the path of worst case scenario if the
officer did take any kind of enforcement
action it would have been a traffic
ticket this isn't an arrestable offense
he's not going to tow the he's not going
to tow the golf cart like this is a
traffic ticket and it's not even the
chief of a very cheap traffic ticket
probably it's not even the chief of
police who would have gotten the traffic
ticket so the type of bad press that
would have gotten is that her husband
got a ticket for
um you know driving this golf cart in an
area where it's supposed to be
registered and outside the private
property like I mean that just isn't a
big deal but what happened was because
because she identified herself she said
who she was she said I hope you let us
go tonight also during the context she
gave the officer her card and said if
you need anything seriously if you need
anything call me so uh the officer
um the police chief and her husband did
not get any traffic tickets and the body
cam footage came out so again if you
want to watch the full body cam footage
definitely go to Cops and cons uh TV and
check out our body cam footage of the
whole interaction from later this week
from earlier this week and let us know
what you think um but you know when this
happened a lot of people were commenting
and saying things such as I don't see
why this is a big deal like like I mean
she didn't it didn't seem like we've all
seen situations where police officers
commit serious crimes and after a
serious crime is committed then they try
to use their position in their badge to
get out of it but this is such a minor
thing and she wasn't even the one who
was driving so people kept saying like
this isn't a big deal like why why is
this even on like national news Well the
reason and you know and and it is a big
deal it's such a big deal she actually
resigned um just about the day after we
put the body camera footage up so the
mayor announced that um Chief Mary
O'Connell resigned from her position
um it's also been reported that you know
Mary O'Connell she again chief of police
at Tampa Bay which is a pretty large
Police Department
um you know they're typically not just
going to hire anyone to be a chief of
police for someone like that in that
agency but she actually has kind of a
strange history so when she was a rookie
with the Tampa Bay Police Department
over 30 years ago she was pulled over
again this is kind of this is like a
theme Here multiple decades apart but
she was pulled over while she was
um she was pulled over as a rookie off
duty and while she was pulled over she
got into a thing with the officer um she
ended up battering the officer there and
she was arrested for resisting arrests
and disorderly conduct over 30 years ago
when she was fired from the Tampa Bay
Police Department at some point she was
reinstated as a Tampa Bay cop and then
you know from that point on for 30 years
she made it all the way to chief of
police and had a pretty reasonable
career and a good career as far as
anyone one can tell until this happened
so she has resigned um from the from the
police department and um you know this
is one of the stories where you know
people just didn't think it was going to
be a big deal but yeah this ended up
being a huge deal anytime a police chief
has to resign because of a scandal or
something like that it's a big deal and
Tampa Bay is a pretty large city so yeah
no this is an absolute big deal that's
where we put the body camera footage up
so um why don't you go and watch that
body camera footage then comment and let
us know if you think what she did was
over the line or not obviously the
residents um and the city councilors and
the mayor of Florida thought so but I'm
curious what your thoughts are on this
uh let's see if we have any comments on
that uh let's see
uh Brian W there's definitely
professional courtesy but it is not
something you ever ask for that was bad
Chief yeah so that's you don't ever ask
for it now a lot of times what police
officers do they'll say something to the
effective if they're pulled over outside
their jurisdiction a lot of times what
police officers do and what I've had
happen is that you know they'll say hey
just so you know I have a firearm on me
I am a police officer you know so that's
usually what happens I'll say something
like that well they're mentioned a pair
of police officer kind of in a
roundabout way so that isn't that isn't
what she did uh let's see uh any more
comments on this case uh
uh Sergeant George many YouTubers were
talking about this the fact that the
woman was trying to badge her way out
was dumb to say the absolutes yeah it
absolutely was dumb because this is the
traffic ticket so who knows how I mean
my guess is she makes well over six
figures in in you know mid mid six
figures working as a police chief um so
to give that up for a uh you know less
than a hundred dollar traffic ticket
that wasn't even hers seems a little
silly um and this next case is also
happens in Florida a lot of kids in
Florida but this one isn't in Tampa so
um uh we actually have two more Florida
stories that are coming up but this case
is actually just uh in in awful case and
I'm sure everyone has heard about it so
this happened in Brevard County
um Florida uh there's a Brevard County
Sheriff's deputy named Austin Walsh I'm
Austin Walsh she's a young police
officer uh 23 years old he's a sheriff's
deputy he's a roommate with another
police officer Andrew Lawson they were
playing earlier this week they were
playing video games while they were
playing oh um just one thing looks like
uh Chief Mary O'Connell makes about 192
000 a year so that's what she gave up
for a hundred dollar traffic ticket or
so um okay so this next case in Brevard
County you know sheriff's deputy
off-duty 23 year old new police officer
Austin Walsh um has a roommate who's
also an off-duty police officer Andrew
Lawson and they were doing what a lot of
23 year old off-duty police officers do
they were playing video games they took
a break from playing video games and
they were kind of standing in the
kitchen and while they were standing
there talking for some reason Andrew
Lawson pulled out a gun that he thought
was unloaded pointed it at Austin Walsh
his best friend and his roommate pulled
the trigger the firearm wasn't unloaded
he shot him one time and he died he was
killed
there's an absolutely crazy thing almost
immediately Andrew Lawson called 9-1-1
tried to get Medics there but the shot
was such that
um Austin Walsh died almost immediately
um police officers came obviously there
was an investigation and Lawson was
arrested and he was charged with
manslaughter with a firearm manslaughter
so when it comes to these criminal
charges I know most people know this you
know there's typically two different
tracks when it comes to homicide type
charges um so there's murder and there's
manslaughter and really the way it comes
down to is you have to think about
intent if you do something on purpose
intense that's going down the murder
track if you do something on accident or
you weren't intending if death to occur
that's typically when you're going to go
going to go down the manslaughter track
so um you know manslaughter so he was
charged with manslaughter um and you
know what I think that the criminal
charges are absolutely appropriate I
mean his actions were somewhere between
criminally
negligent behavior and absolute just
Reckless Behavior when you go through
the police academy or when you handle
any Firearms at all even as a kid the
first thing that you learn is some of
these firearm safety rules and the first
safety rule is all guns are always
loaded now this other firearm safety
rules like never never Point uh never
point the firearm at something that
you're not intending to just just
destroy keep your finger off the trigger
until you are ready to fire so there's
all these different things these this
basic simple rules I don't know if
people take for granted but this is an
absolute horrible tragedy a 23 year old
police officer was killed for absolutely
nothing uh Brian W says this is basic
firearm safety tragic 100 preventable
all the same time and I'm curious if
people think that um if people think
that criminal charges are appropriate
even though there wasn't even though
there wasn't intent I think so I think
that criminal charges
um are absolutely are absolutely
um uh appropriate for a case like this
because it's is absolutely not not an
acceptable thing so again here uh Lawson
was charged with manslaughter with the
firearm we'll keep you updated about
those those criminal charges um there
was another unfortunate death that
happened um well the death happened on a
December 7th and this is actually going
to be in Hillsboro North Carolina so so
this individual he died December 1st but
the incident that I'm going to talk
about it actually goes back to like
October so on October 18th there's an 83
year old named Gary razor um he's an 83
year old and he works at Home Depot he
works in the gardens in the garden
center of Home Depot and what happened
and this happens a lot is that when
people want to shoplift and steal stuff
instead of going through the north at
the Garden Center at Home Depot and
Lowe's and all these places always has
like a different entrance for the garden
a lot of people think that if they you
know want to steal things or shoplift if
they go out the garden entrance that
that's a way for them to get away that's
a tactic that criminals often use when
they're trying to shoplift from some of
these big box like Home Depot type store
course well 83 year old Gary razor he
was working in the garden center when an
individual is still unknowns he's not in
custody came by and he was trying to
steal he was pushing out a cart they had
about eight hundred dollars worth of
unpaid pressure washers so we hadn't
bought these um as the individual was
was pushing this out it does not
surveillance video Gary razor he doesn't
try to grab the guy he doesn't stand in
front of the cars but as the guy is
walking past him he kind of sticks out
his arm as Gary your 83 year old Gary
raidser sticks out of his arm the
offender just pushes him he pushes him
once and I mean the guy's 83 years old
he pushed him one time Gary razor fell
um he fell he was he was hospitalized he
suffered a mild heart attack at that
point
um he went into the hospital and at one
point it looked like he was recovering
however on December 1st he did
tragically pass away his wife went on
the news a couple times and said you
know that you know they just wanted to
travel and see their grandkids and that
he was actually planning to retire this
coming winter so this is an absolute
tragic case it happened in Hillsboro
North Carolina and the individual still
hasn't been caught he still hasn't been
caught he still hasn't been identified
now of course it's possible that the
local police know who this individual is
um but they um but they just haven't
said so yet but definitely no one is in
custody um the good thing about this is
that it's because it happened at a Home
Depot Home Depot Lowe's all of these
Walmart all of these big box stores have
lost prevention that have these networks
that essentially talk to each other so a
lot of the times that you know if
there's a shoplifting or some someone
does a bunch of crimes at Home Depot or
Lowe's that you know they all talk to
each other and then they all connect on
on different mediums and they have
meetings where they say hey this this
person came in here's the pictures
anybody recognize them and a lot of
times that's how just these private
companies are able to keep their own
databases on people who commit crimes in
their store so hopefully either through
just the regular police resources or
through the the loss prevention at some
of these stores they can find out who
this individual says
um yeah this is this is an absolute
tragedy
um and like I said the offender is still
the offender is still out there
um another Florida story and this one is
this one is really strange
um uh uh and also I should say because
talking about some big box stores so it
was in the news the last couple days
that Walmart is actually can the
Walmart's losses profit to loss
statements have been so terrible which
has never been a thing for Walmart that
because they've been losing so much
money to to shoplifting that they're
actually considered closing several
stores around the country which
typically isn't what you see from
Walmart so this is a problem
um pretty much all around the entire
country
um this next case also happened in
Florida and this is this is just a wacky
case is all I can say so there's a
there's a Chicago cop and I like to talk
about Chicago stories because that's my
hometown that's where I'm originally
from but there's a Chicago cop um his
name is Henry capuch
c-a-p-o-u-c-h K capuch capuch I'm not
sure I like capuch better so Henry
capuch is a a 30 year old Chicago cop
and he went on vacation to Florida like
a lot of people in Illinois do into
Pinellas County which is essentially
near Saint Pete's Beach so while he's on
vacation
um he he had an altercation at a bar he
went back to the hotel the hotel also
had a bar so once he was there for
whatever reason what he decided to do in
the bar because it's a hotel bar they
have an ice machine just like they do in
most hotels for some reason he decided
to urinate in the hotel bar ice machine
while he's urinating in the hotel bar
ice machine um people saw him there's an
on-duty security officer there who told
him to stop other Hotel employees told
him to stop there's a confrontation so
he didn't stop he didn't apologize he
actually got into a physical altercation
in a fight with security and with a
hotel employee police were called and um
he was arrested for one count of simple
battery and disorderly conduct he also
resisted arrests with the police officer
so that's an off-duty Chicago cop just
trying to have some fun in Florida
um and that is an absolute kill the
story I've never heard of someone
urinating in an ice machine in public at
a hotel bar that doesn't make any sense
at all it looks like he was a five-year
veteran with a Chicago Police Department
and um yeah so my guess is if he hasn't
been terminated yet
um that's that's that's coming down the
pipe when there is an internal
investigation on this particular case
um a couple other cases there are things
that I want to talk about there in the
news is everybody's favorite Jeremy
DeWitt so Jeremy DeWitt just like we
talked about last week so Jeremy was
Brian W says this happens in California
on a daily basis yes but Brian does it
usually involve off-duty police officers
um okay so Jeremy DeWitt he was released
from jail we went over that a couple
weeks ago and he's out right and for
whatever reason one of the so he didn't
but he didn't do his whole sentence I
think there was like three or four
months left on his sentence but the
judge let him out so now the court the
judge still has in the the system
essentially still has control over Mr
DeWitt until the end of his sentence
what it would would be I think it's like
you know three or four months or so so
all Jeremy had to do was comply with
this list of conditions in order to get
out of jail a couple of those things are
that you know you probably can't drink
alcohol you can't do any illegal drugs
you can't go into a bar you can't
contact anyone who is involved in the
whatever the underlying case is and one
of the things that the judge and the
court wanted Jeremy to what to do was to
delete his YouTube channel for whatever
reason he didn't he says he can't delete
it because someone hacked it or
something to that effect either way here
he is he's finally free after just about
a year and a half or so 16 months he's
free but he got arrested again so he was
arrested again for not shutting down his
YouTube channel well a couple days ago
you know he went before the judge again
it's at this point that you can
essentially plead your case where you
can say to the judge hey I know that
your attorney hopefully hey I know that
I violated this condition but there's
actually mitigating circumstances around
it so in Jeremy's situation you would
think that he would be able to say some
of the effect of Hey listen here's the
six emails I send to you tube and Google
trying to get access to this back and
here's look they're telling me that
someone else owns it now like judge I
literally can't do anything with this so
this is a condition that I I physically
can't meet
um however he didn't do that no one
believed him so they sent him back to
jail um so he was essentially denied
probation he's back in jail now he does
have another hearing on January 23rd of
23 so he has you know from now until
January 23rd that's what you know five
or six weeks he has to think about um
you know some content for his YouTube
show as soon as he gets out but you know
for the next five or six weeks um he's
going to be in jail and then maybe he'll
get out to January 23rd and do more
silly things that we can go ahead and
talk about and share the video with
um so those were the main cases that I
wanted to talk about and the last piece
of news that I wanted to get to today
and this is something that was so
shocking so surprising that I know a lot
of people still can't believe it the
liver king is not natural so it's been
it's been Derek from more plates more
dates at the YouTube channel he found he
was um given emails where um the liver
King if anyone's familiar with the liver
King has been doing about ten to twelve
thousand dollars worth of steroids um a
lot of people think that the liver King
actually outed himself
um in order to kind of cap his podcast
his podcast tour with an episode on The
Joe Rogan show however Joe Rogan said
that the whole thing is stupid and he
has declined uh to have the liver King
on but that was the last piece of news
that I wanted to talk about let's see
what kind of comments we got uh let's
see
living life like Jerry I was just going
to mention John Mina and the whole
corruption thing uh involving ocsu
Orange County if I got there right okay
thank you uh Sergeant George shaking his
head uh my guess is you're shaking your
head either about Jeremy DeWitt or about
the off duty Chicago police officer who
was urinating in a hotel bar ice machine
uh let's see uh Brian W you mean you
can't get that yolk naturally you're
kidding yeah and listen here's the most
ridiculous thing uh about here's the
most ridiculous thing about the liver
King is that you know he gave an apology
and what he said is that you know the
reason why he didn't come clean earlier
is because what and this is so
self-important he said that his message
is for young men who might commit
suicide and that if it came out that he
was on steroids that these otherwise
just you know suicidal men who are
somehow hanging on every word that the
liver King says they're just all going
to kill themselves if they find out that
he isn't natural but listen to how crazy
that is so so if you really are trying
to talk to young men and your concern is
that you you know some of them might be
suicidal why are you promoting a
physique that you can literally only
attain by steroids so when these people
you know you're not telling them to take
steroids when they're doing all of the
other things that the liver King said
and they're still not achieving those
results but you see the liver King has
those results because he's on steroids
and you think that's somehow gonna make
these people otherwise just not commit
suicide I mean the whole thing doesn't
make any sense uh let's see Sergeant
George hasn't heard anything about the
liver King well what I said about him is
probably all you need to know but he's
absolutely ridiculous um last piece of
advice is uh don't eat the yellow uh ice
cubes at a hotel bar in Florida uh so
that's going to be our show for today I
want to thank everybody for um coming in
