Kidda Mr Cheema👋 Yea I agree bro this channel & the content is amazing I cant believe its so underrated, definitely deserves more views for the quality of info.✌👍👍

[@realMaverickBuckley]

Great show. Bit of constructive criticism, try and let the guest just flow until *they* are running out if steam for that story. You can lose the gold sometimes by interjecting, the guest forgets what they were saying or gets distracted with a new topic. As a listener, sometimes it can be frustrating as you're left thinking 'wait.. no go back to what he was saying! I need to know what happened!' Anyway, hopefully you take this the right way. 🤘

[@marcosjimenez9975]

Damn, i kept thinking this exactly. Like fam, let the guy talk, your little tid bits are unnecessary. You don't need to talk everytime there's a break 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@MasterNater808]

Came looking for this exact comment. I couldn't agree more.

[@justinbradstreet7138]

I completely agree, let the guest talk a little more before interupting and constantly throwing in little phrases. (Just my 2 cents. Take it or leave it) :) overall amazing podcast

[@randydurbin1407]

He’s literally trying to finish the other guys sentences. Little annoying but hopefully he will evolve.

There’s a reason this channel isn’t huge

[@burninbarrelz1079]

I recently retired medically from the LE field and am now a dog trainer. Never thought in a million years that I wouldn't be retiring at 55 with a long ass career full of specialty assignments, however those weren't the cards I was dealt. Now I'm just trying to do my part to continue to help people and work with dogs of whom I absolutely love! This podcast deeply resonated with me, thanks for posting this and for coming on!

[@joshuahoward8510]

The media really needs to have some sort of consequences when they defame people like this, they come out with horrible articles framing the good guy as the bad guy. Glad he made it through, great podcast

[@pfistor]

Yeah there's a balance to be made between free media and holding them accountable... But when they just don't do any research and completely lie to rage bait? That's terrible.

I don't live in the USA but the world hears these stories about all the bad cops so thank you for reliving this and telling the truth so that people can get informed instead of just opinionated

[@coletondillabo9069]

Honestly Nick your story is incredible! I first saw little clips on KZbin shorts and then had to watch the full interview! Bro I am a veteran and now work for a large city police department, but I hope to God if I ever go through what you did I have the backing of the department that you did! PTSD is over looked a lot, and many suffer by it more then we will ever know! Thank you for your incredible service and sharing your story to educate many and to prevent what you went through. 🤙🏼🇺🇸

One of the best interviews I’ve ever seen.

[@edb2478]

Thank you for your service Nick. I come from a cop family myself and kind went down the same path as your uncle. By the grace of God I never got in serious trouble. I had a moment where I knew I needed to make a change. I hope many people see this podcast because you showed how cops are everyday people doing a very hard, misunderstood, and undervalued service. May God bless you

Hey Brandon. Good luck in your future endeavors man. I highly recommend reading a book called The Most Dangerous Superstition by Larken Rose. I mean it when I say that this book could literally save your life or the lives of others. I would be willing to send you a copy for free if we can somehow exchange information; or at the very least, the audiobook is free on KZbin. Best of luck to you man ✌️

[@dages1995]

Good luck💪

[@mattp4007]

Nothing worse than a host that will not shut up and let the storyteller ride. It’s an art to interview and knowing when the guest is getting into a rhythm. Let your guest flow please. You killed the momentum so many times where the storyteller couldn’t even remember their last thought. Your interrupting contribution are self-absorbed and nonsensical. Actually read Podcasts for Dummies.

[@winsterium4083]

Growing up in the inner city, I never heard the perspective of police officers. This podcast was very insightful and eye opening.

[@heidil.4651]

Excellent interview. Students in school should have to watch these interviews. Firefighters, police officers, military….. They need to see and hear the men and women who protect us everyday and realize the sacrifices they make and that they are our heroes. Trades need to be offered and taught again in schools. It’s devastating to me how disrespected the people are.

[@xCADILLAC1982x]

This is very inspiring & motivating. Nick’s story was very moving. I’m super glad I was able to hear it. Thank You For All You Do.✌🏻

[@walthampton6700]

First time listener, now I am a subscriber. Come from a family of LE but I am the black sheep, even though my rowdy ways are long behind me. What sticks out to me is CA is like a different country. Seems like LE is up against not only the worst of the worst criminals but you are scrutinized at every level. Reading your local newspapers coverage of the incident made me sick to my stomach. And it sucks because I am mesmerized by the natural beauty and History of your state but there is no fucking way I would ever visit. Same way I am home in bed every night by 9 to decrease my odds of any shenanigans. I will stay on the east coast and probably won't ever visit CA. Seems like good guys like you two are the overwhelming minority in CA. Thanks for the podcasts and the good work you have both done.

Let the guest speak with out interrupting

[@benninger123]

I have stayed up for a week before and yes it does start become to the point where you sit down for a second and your head is bobbing. But the body is a remarkable machine and it will adjust fast to your patterns. So if you are getting 10 hours of sleep every night your body now wants that 10 hours, and the same down the line . So I was always used to at most 4 hours of sleep every night. There is times when I would go back into work with zero sleep . It's all mental , but it helps if your in great shape physically. Now the most sleep I get is 6 hours and I find for me that's perfect , because when I do sleep , I'm out cold so my sleeps are very good sleeps. Out cold and wake up when the time is needed. Where a lot of people will toss and turn all the time and that type of sleep is not good . But I'm 59 years old now and find myself still only needing 4 to 6 hours a night . I trully believe you can train your mind and body to do this efficiently.

[@noahhale6111]

[@peppilameu3144]

You can hunt bad guys, getting CIs to trust you or people in the community but the hardest part I think is that darn paperwork. Properly documenting everything , how you word your report, and structure it all. That’s the hard part. And once you fall behind it’s hard to catch up.

[@anthonymartin9523]

The host talks more than the guest.

[@Dylan-yg4hg]

What's crazy to me and its not really crazy at this point given how the media is, Allen (bad guy) aimed what was believed to be a firearm at your head, pulled the trigger, and hit you in the head, and they wanted to make him a victim? He could have killed a police officer, and in all the news reports I've found, don't report that he shot him with what they believed to be a firearm, they dragged these officers through the dirt and they did nothing wrong and Allen most certainly is no victim. Thank You Nick for you service to the community, and I'm sorry you and your colleagues had to go through this for just doing your jobs, protecting and serving your community. The media needs to be held accountable for the damage they cause with their lies.

Saw the short, went for the full video got to the shooting part then he said BB gun… like SUPER stoked guy is ok and what a lesson. But it was basically set up like he got hit in the head with a real round like gunpowder 9mm to the head. Not a BB. Almost clickbaity it’s an odd reaction. Like I was set up to believe he survived a gunshot to the head. But it was just a BB. I’d Maby have that in the title so it’s not as dramatic. But at the same time this is still incredible. Mixed feelings on this one! Crazy story still.
