[@briannicholas2757]

I'm a retired Federal law enforcement officer, one of my collateral duties, for 19 of my 22 year career, was firearms instructor. Simunition was one of the best breakthrough training aids for LEOs. Using real firearms, loaded with paint rounds, that truly hurt when they hit, completely revolutionized scenario driven training. Every two years, to maintain my certification, I was required to spend two weeks teaching classes at our national academy, usually to basic trainees. Once we had Simunition, we introduced new students to it in a simple way. They donned their bullet resistant vest, helmet, heavy jacket, various hard plastic pieces on arms, legs and groin area, we then placed them 15 feet apart in two rows, and the first officer in row A would draw his .40 caliber, semiauto pistol, loaded with Simunition, and fire 2 rounds center mass at their classmate in row B. It realistically demonstrated 2 critical things, for officer A, it was can you look another human being in the eye and shoot that person, and for officer B it was staring down the barrel of .40 caliber pistol, hearing the discharge, and feeling the impact. About 10 percent of the officers could not pull the trigger or face the firearm. It weeded out those who were not constitutionally capable of performing one of the fundamentals of the job. Eventually, we were told by the higher ups to stop doing this drill with trainee officers. Mainly because it had cost the agencies a lot of money to get a trainee hired, background checks, medical exams, interviews, flying them to the academy etc.. we were then told we coukd only use these drills with advanced officers, and it was optional for them. I was told recently by a friend still working, that tgey aren't allowed to use it anymore. It was an eye opener, the first time I participated in a scenario on a team (it was comprised of all firearms instructors) as we were developing scenarios to use with students, I was shot in the arm. I was wearing a light wind breaker under my vest, it was very hot out, and it hurt like he'll, left quite a bruise, and even tore skin and caused a small bleed. It is a shame that agencies are so afraid to use it now, mainly because if DEI crap that has resulted in weak hiring standards. They are desperately afraid Some effeminate soy boy, or girl boss wanna be who thinks being a federal LEO is like what they see on TV, or they want to be a real life Charlie's Angel (shows how old I am), will sue the agency basically because training was to realistic and demanding.

[@goodolearkygal5746]

I'm more concerned with the ones that escalate a situation so they can use force. I've seen videos of LEO high fiving each other because he "popped his cherry" getting to use the tazer. I'm worried about those guys

I had a similar experience as a police defensive tactics instructor. I retired several years ago but just observing officers at work in the community and in hi profile media scenes, it appears that verbal de escalation and effective control and restraint techniques are no longer being taught or at least not very well. Police administrators it seems, are more concerned with liability exposure than officer safety. Its a good illustration of Gavin de Becker's distinction between true fear and false fear, in setting policy to avoid lawsuits they have created greater liability exposure and lower officer safety.

​@@lenoregorman4688 I don't believe it was a handful of troublemakers, had that been the case, the leadership and mainstream media as a whole, would not have allowed that to continuously happen. I found it fascinating how Democrats would sit around and glare at each other, knowing that they have an army of useful idiots/enforcers at their disposal, to not only chant and recite the mantras, but to simultaneously strike fear in the heart of non-believers! And the fact that it was not only allowed to happen, but it was praised on the left tells you everything you need to know about those people, and that particular party. And what they would be willing to do if ever given that power again. At the end of the day, it was up to the "protesters" to police their own in that situation. And there was a shockingly small number of them that were actually calling it out. And even to this day, there are numerous people that dance around this subject because they're fearful of being labeled something they're not. Only when Everyday People decide to stand up to this type of nonsense, will the power ever be taken away from those who wield it in such a manner.

I loved the quote at 1:01 so much, that I transcribed it. Sharing here for anyone else who, like me, wants to remember it precisely: “If we are not able to ask skeptical questions or to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority, then we’re up for grabs for the next charlatan, political or religious, who comes along. It wasn’t enough, Jefferson said, to enshrine some rights in the Constitution or a Bill of Rights; the people had to be educated and they had to practice their skepticism; otherwise, we don’t run the government, the government runs us.”

Instinct and Common Sense! Another thing that came to mind with what is lacking these days: Self-control AND self-discipline. Examples: You come to a full stop at a stop sign because you see a cop - that's self-control. You come to a full stop at a stop sign because it's safer to make sure no kids on bikes, etc. That's self-discipline. Great interview!

Or, act appropriate to the situation. If there are people, then fully stop. If nobody is around, then don't. That is called the wisdom and discretion that befits free people in a free country.

The arrogance and ignorance it takes to miss the point and to think the important bit is the cop is a product of upbringing and state of social/moral decay.

I was a way better student getting back into college in my late 20’s…and 30’s. Rather than just dreaming of a career and taking classes to be an Architect. But, I didn’t attend a school that mastered in architecture. So I changed majors to teach. One I noticed the power of Admin over the teachers, and 2 the teachers had to buy all supplies for the year’s curriculum, I didn’t want to be a teacher. Grading papers until 11 pm at home. So I took another job with a picture-frame maker… Covid lockdowns, shop closes, and I’m unemployed. So I started making my own picture-frames. It’s slow going, but I now make things. I love it. I sell them, online. My son gets bored of sanding. There’s a lot of sanding. But he knows, deep down, if he decides to help me make frames, then that will be the thing he ends up doing… He’s not sure if that’s the deck of cards he’s carrying, if that makes sense.

I think the suggestion that passengers be asked to participate in the defense of the plane in the event of an attack is one of the best ideas I've ever heard.

If there is a clearly articulated expectation that people are supposed to help each other, many people (not all, of course) will be much more likely to intervene.

On one of the first points about resolving issues yourself without government intervention... One night I stayed the night at my friends new apartment. He was broke so he was living in the "hood". He was proud of his little abode & I was very happy for him that he had a place of his own. Anyways, I was woken up to blaring rap music at 8am that morning. I was really hungover from the night before so I decided to go downstairs & knock on their door. A couple of guys answered the door & looked at me funny that a 21 year old white girl was knocking on their door. I just kindly told them that I also enjoy loud rap music, but could you please hold off until like 11 or so? I could really use some sleep this morning. They actually obliged & I appreciated it. Its true that just asking your neighbors nicely can get you a lot farther than calling the police.

Wow, how truthfully a good interaction. Once again. Way togo Mike.

[@freeandcriticalthinker4431]

Damn what a FINE interview! Great job guys!

[@jenniferp403]

Bonus points to Mike for his use of the word “efficacious” from this word nerd.

[@vanessaclark6761]

Thanks Mike and Gavin, my poem was taken from your convo

My mom has harped on her children for years on how to properly pay attention during flying, including counting the rows when taking a seat.

[@cheeks2696]

Situational awareness!

“I demand satisfaction” - good idea Mike, let’s fix the world by bringing back dueling!

The key is to keep the govt out of our homes and our family affairs

4:43 there was always a little statue in the kitchen at my mother-in-law‘s house and it was a Saint Francis of Assisi, but with my mother-in-law never noticed all of her life because she’s passed away was that a little bird was cut off because my ex-husband went at his older brother, with a butcher knife, and almost got him missed him and cut the bird off the statue of Saint Francis…

one small survival advantage i try to stick to is if weather is a possible threat i will wear synthetic clothing (tech fabrics of some sort) but if fire is a possibility in confined spaces (plane crash, overly crowded concert or some event) i will wear cotton fabrics. Philosophy here is in weather cotton kills but in fires it acts as a brief fire retardant where synthetics can be an accelerant, my thought is it could give you a few very important seconds. Thanks for the great content Mike and Gavin, i take away some good info.

[@legendoflongbrew]

This is unusual to find intelligent conversation, love the channel..

[@menwithven8114]

Im a lomg time fan of Mike and a long time fan of JRE. He seems like the perfect person to go on JRE. I don't understand how this hasn't happened

[@Hilhub]

We ALL have inner guides/guidance. It's not a gift that only some have, WE ALL HAVE IT. Start paying attention and see how it goes.

[@AussieTimeSirStewietheKnight]

Great Pod Cast. Glad Mike is having a real conversation with real people. What the Quack!!

[@johncostello2948]

Mike Rowe has the manliest voice.

[@em-dy3hn]

Fantastic interview! Thank you!

[@beckyrileynasby2567]

Loved how you looked over the electric fence to see where the stink was coming from. Great talk!

[@tspoon1968]

Thank you very much Mike..👍👍 on double thumbs up and keep on keeping on 👍👍

The airplane incident might have been out of Reagan airport, not Dulles. Dulles has no water near it, but Reagan is on the Potomac river. There was an airplane that crashed into the river in the 1980s, if I recall.

[@mermiefasmart1387]

Thank you for creating a comprehensive intelligent conversation. Enjoyed it very much.

[@JerryStevens]

After watching this video I was motivated to buy and read The Gift of Fear. It is excellent.

[@relleknoj]

Thank you.

[@jasonargonaut6798]

Thanks for having this talk for the Camera. It needed to be said. I appreciate the candor.

[@StacieSmith-rr7gr]

Totally Agree with you 2 Gentlemen ...I grew up in the 70's at least people knew what manners were. Being cordial today '24 makes you look crazy in the wrong crowd. Reverse thinking now aday

[@noberet]

Great show, thank you!

[@rogermurphey7444]

I think we, the listener's can all put in a few bucks for Gavins new sports jacket. To come back a 2nd time too the show. Hay everyone, do you think we can have Gavin back for the 2nd time. Say yes, by a 👍 up. Thank you to Mike and Gavin. 😊

[@rvnerd7671]

I stand with you, Sir! Great content!

[@Laszlo34]

Mike et al, I really absolutely LOVE your show! Thank you so much for everything.

[@darcyp1602]

Great podcast! Loved it. 🎉

[@johninflorida8634]

As to the scissors incident, that cannot happen again. As a father of three, i can absolutely tell you that you need impress upon those kids that it cannot happen again. Whatever that takes. Something like that is far too dangerous. NO!

[@bobme2787]

Great podcast
