I’ve never heard of someone go from being a Green Beret to regular army to Ranger, that’s a badass right there 🇺🇸

He was the actual ranger. Even as a former Canadian soldier he is a hero

Thank you for pointing that out for me Captain Obvious. Yes he is the main guy but he also had fellow Rangers help him. Which is why I said I am glad to hear from one of them.

@frankcastle4435 out if all of them, this is the guy you want to here the story from though, he can give us the back story, the other guys have a story to tell as well, but this guy's story will encompass the entire incident from start to finish 🤷🏾

Bill's story and how he was treated by the police is 100% what is wrong with a great deal of our cities today. Our state governments and their denial of the situation had a large hand in this because stuff runs downhill.

@@reasonsweserve I've seen this story a few times but getting it from the horses mouth is the cherry on top. Clint Eastwood 100% should have made a movie about this. I fear it's too late now as Hollywood has become a political correctness disaster. I also watched pt2, the dude is sharp & unapologetic. All of the F's given lol

@reasonsweserve 6 ай бұрын

@peskypeet That is how Bill is today and certainly how he was on the job. No BS just wanted to get the job done and didn't like people around him who didn't work as hard as he did. Thanks for watching and commenting. BTW Episode 31 Charlie's story has been optioned a few times for a series if you haven't watched that one.

I lived in Tacoma (actually one red light south of where this incident happened) from 2021-23 and I can tell you that the police department in that city is still the same way. And because of it, crime is rampant there.

Bill should be getting Presidential medals. Instead, he gets bitched out when he has a good idea, then gets a plaque a long time later, after the fact, when people realize he was right all along. Bill, there are a lot of us out there, so you're not alone.

But how? We saw exactly how the city worked in the bad guys favor. It’s as if they wanted them to sell so people could get their drugs. Idk if it’s for the money or to make sure they created enough drug slaves. Fascinating tho.

I was living in Lakewood, WA at the time when this happened. Tacoma was crazy dangerous back then. I've heard it is still the same if not worse.

@iridium5122 I think that is still true for some neighborhoods in Tacoma.

@sjsouljah7368 3 ай бұрын

One of the most amazing stories to ever come out of Tacoma, as a Black youth in the 80s/90s I didn't want to grow up & be a police officer after seeing how Rodney King was beaten, didn't want to join the military due to extreme distrust of the gov't. The Crips were the most powerful Black form of militancy I saw around me, so even tho it was a criminal lifestyle, I looked up to several of them. Ppl paint the young Blk men who terrorized the town for decades as "Evil", but often give no thought to gangs being the evil that America created. The U.S. Gov't pumped drugs into the Blk Community and that's a Fact. The Crack Epidemic terrorized the Black Community, homes and families just as much, if not more than the gangsters did.

Ummmm so what happened to the crips? The neighborhood? Did they move out? Did they take over the neighborhood?

@reasonsweserve 9 ай бұрын

Yep. Someone else asked the exact thing. I am going to try to get back for a follow up. Bill is out of the country currently so won't be anytime soon. There will be a part 2 posted Sunday but this is about his career with DEA and does not address your questions but like I said I will try to get another episode with him to get your questions answered.

@kevinm4022 7 ай бұрын

When i first heard the story i was like ummm the crips are in deep shit. I was a member of the Canadian Armed Forces reserves and we are babies compared to the United states Army Rangers. You have to love how the army protects its own. I was a grunt NCO and we are nothing compared to the holier than thow officers. In the Canadian Armed Forces we take our drill seriously and the officers do cow kicks and im like are you fucking kidding me? Mr Foulk i respect you more than i can say. I would want you to be my platoon commander
