[00:15.360 --> 00:17.760] Welcome my friends to the Dr. Reality Podcast. [00:17.760 --> 00:19.800] I'm Dave Champion. [00:19.800 --> 00:26.760] Law enforcement retirements are up 45% from the previous year, and resignations are up [00:26.760 --> 00:29.280] 18%. [00:29.280 --> 00:34.000] Should we be seeing this as a positive or a negative? [00:34.000 --> 00:37.880] In order to answer whether it's a positive or a negative, we have to ask the question [00:37.880 --> 00:44.320] why are retirements up 45% and resignations 18%. [00:44.320 --> 00:50.000] The primary reason appears to be when you read police publications, things like Police [00:50.000 --> 00:54.040] Magazine, Police One, and so forth, there's a gajillion of them. [00:54.040 --> 00:58.180] When you read what's being said there, the number one reason if I can sort of distill [00:58.340 --> 01:07.340] it down to this is they're not liking being viewed by the public as bad guys. [01:07.340 --> 01:14.700] And that totally makes sense because the entire law enforcement mental construct is we're [01:14.700 --> 01:19.100] the good guys and we do things to bad guys. [01:19.100 --> 01:25.580] The idea that the public sees them as bad guys, we can all understand why they don't [01:25.580 --> 01:26.900] cotton to that. [01:26.900 --> 01:28.580] I think it's convenient. [01:28.580 --> 01:34.660] It's easy to blame all this on the George Floyd protests. [01:34.660 --> 01:41.140] But in my opinion, that's just the cherry on top of the rest of the reason. [01:41.140 --> 01:47.580] Probably the number one reason that cops today feel that the public views them as the bad [01:47.580 --> 01:54.020] guys is the prevalence of video, whether it's their own body cams or whether it's bystanders [01:54.020 --> 01:56.400] feeling what they're doing. [01:56.400 --> 02:03.680] The advent of video being shot everywhere all the time when any incident, no matter [02:03.680 --> 02:11.260] how trivial, takes place, that construct has altered the public perception of law enforcement [02:11.260 --> 02:13.140] dramatically. [02:13.140 --> 02:18.520] If we go back pre-video, a cop could do essentially anything he wanted. [02:18.520 --> 02:22.420] And it didn't matter what the people he did it to said. [02:22.420 --> 02:24.860] It didn't matter what the bystander said. [02:24.860 --> 02:29.200] If the cop and his partner and maybe a couple of backup officers said, no, no, no, this [02:29.200 --> 02:31.600] is what happened. [02:31.600 --> 02:33.700] That was the end of the discussion. [02:33.700 --> 02:38.260] Well with the emergence of video, what's happened is the cop and his partner and some of his [02:38.260 --> 02:41.420] backup are saying, no, no, no, no, it's not what they said. [02:41.420 --> 02:42.420] It's what we say. [02:42.420 --> 02:45.700] And we say this is what happened. [02:45.700 --> 02:51.260] And then three, four, seven, 10 days later, video hits YouTube. [02:51.260 --> 02:56.700] And all of a sudden we found out over the last, especially the last decade when video [02:56.700 --> 03:01.740] has become ubiquitous, we have found out time and time and time and time and time and time [03:01.740 --> 03:02.740] again. [03:02.740 --> 03:08.260] I mean, we're literally probably talking about, if not millions, certainly hundreds of thousands [03:08.260 --> 03:15.860] of video documented occasions where we can look and say, the cops right there, they just [03:15.860 --> 03:21.780] lied and they may have committed needless illegal violence against an innocent citizen [03:21.780 --> 03:23.680] and then lied about that. [03:23.680 --> 03:31.520] It's not hard to understand why when the public sees the lying time and time and time again [03:31.520 --> 03:38.380] with their own two eyes, yeah, it's easy for the public to begin to see the cops as the [03:38.380 --> 03:39.380] bad guys. [03:39.380 --> 03:42.000] And as we mentioned earlier, the cops don't like that. [03:42.000 --> 03:46.040] Before I share with you a couple of prime examples that stand out in my mind over the [03:46.040 --> 03:53.240] years, if you're watching this on video, yes, these images are me in uniform, badge and [03:53.240 --> 03:56.540] gun on the street a long time ago. [03:56.540 --> 03:57.980] But I wanted to share that with you. [03:57.980 --> 04:03.020] So if you're new to the Dr. Reality podcast, you understand that I have a frame of reference [04:03.020 --> 04:04.740] to speak about these issues. [04:04.740 --> 04:11.060] I'm not just some never done the job type of civilian who wants to knock cops. [04:11.080 --> 04:12.800] That's not at all what this is about. [04:12.800 --> 04:15.440] All right, let's get into a couple of examples. [04:15.440 --> 04:21.480] Even before video was a thing, I'll never forget an audio recording that I heard. [04:21.480 --> 04:27.360] Ironically, the audio was actually captured by one of the detectives involved in this. [04:27.360 --> 04:31.800] To the best of my recollection, because this goes back about 15 years ago, number of uniforms [04:31.800 --> 04:35.120] and detectives had gone into this person's home. [04:35.120 --> 04:36.820] They did not have a warrant. [04:36.820 --> 04:38.800] They then forced open his safe. [04:38.800 --> 04:42.400] They then seized a bunch of his firearms. [04:42.400 --> 04:49.980] And so the two detectives are talking and saying, you know, we don't have probable cause [04:49.980 --> 04:53.100] to do what we've done here today. [04:53.100 --> 04:59.180] So we need to concoct some probable cause to support our actions. [04:59.180 --> 05:04.840] They are literally talking to one another, acknowledging that they didn't have the legal [05:04.840 --> 05:09.500] authority to do what they did and saying, now we need to lie. [05:09.500 --> 05:12.340] Now we need to contrive stuff that never really happened. [05:12.340 --> 05:17.820] We need to claim facts exist that do not exist in order to cover our asses for our illegal [05:17.820 --> 05:22.380] conduct, for us violating the rights of this American citizen. [05:22.380 --> 05:31.540] Is there anybody, anyone, Bueller, Bueller, who wouldn't say these guys are bad guys? [05:31.540 --> 05:33.220] They're violating the rights of American citizens. [05:33.220 --> 05:34.820] Yeah, they're bad guys. [05:34.820 --> 05:42.600] Here where I live in Nye County, a Nye County sheriff's deputy shot and killed a friendly [05:42.600 --> 05:44.520] family dog. [05:44.520 --> 05:49.520] Now we don't have to take the owner's word for the fact that the dog was friendly. [05:49.520 --> 05:52.920] There was a long history of deputies showing up at that property. [05:52.920 --> 05:59.000] I think if memory serves me, they'd been there about 12 or 13 other occasions and nobody [05:59.000 --> 06:00.000] ever had a problem with the dog. [06:00.000 --> 06:04.760] None of the deputies ever had a problem with the dog until this one deputy this one day [06:04.760 --> 06:06.760] and he was wearing a body cam. [06:06.760 --> 06:13.480] What he writes in his report was completely different from what his body cam showed. [06:13.480 --> 06:17.960] Now of course, because here in Nye County, we have what is arguably one of the most corrupt [06:17.960 --> 06:23.600] sheriffs in the country and certainly the most corrupt sheriff of Nye County in many, [06:23.600 --> 06:24.920] many, many decades. [06:24.920 --> 06:32.320] Yeah, she found a way to justify the fact that what was on the video was completely [06:32.480 --> 06:34.480] different than what he wrote in his report. [06:34.480 --> 06:38.320] And to this day, he is still a deputy sucking up tax dollars. [06:38.320 --> 06:45.640] Just about a year ago, a couple of cops pulled over a Florida state's attorney without any [06:45.640 --> 06:48.360] reasonable suspicion for the stop. [06:48.360 --> 06:53.080] Now the media played it as the first black state's attorney, but the windows were highly [06:53.080 --> 06:54.080] tinted. [06:54.080 --> 06:56.920] So when the cops made this stop, it wasn't because she was black. [06:56.920 --> 07:00.860] It was because they just wanted to. [07:00.860 --> 07:03.340] They had no reasonable suspicion whatsoever. [07:03.340 --> 07:10.180] She asks them about it and they come up with this nonsensical BS and I think from the tone [07:10.180 --> 07:13.300] of the officer's voice who's interacting with her at the driver's window, from the tone [07:13.300 --> 07:17.780] of his voice, I think he really thought his nonsense was going to get by her and she's [07:17.780 --> 07:23.260] like, can I have your business card, please, because she was going to file a formal complaint [07:23.260 --> 07:28.420] with their department because they had no reasonable suspicion without reasonable suspicion. [07:28.420 --> 07:31.020] You cannot pull a motorist over. [07:31.020 --> 07:33.300] So yeah, they're bad guys. [07:33.300 --> 07:35.980] They're violating constitutional rights. [07:35.980 --> 07:36.980] They're bad guys. [07:36.980 --> 07:43.180] Then there was the case of the officer who took a 12-year-old girl who was handcuffed. [07:43.180 --> 07:46.900] She talked back to him. [07:46.900 --> 07:51.220] He punched her, grabbed her, and slammed her head into a concrete wall. [07:51.220 --> 07:53.900] An 11-year-old handcuffed girl. [07:53.900 --> 07:56.980] Yeah, he is a bad guy. [07:57.540 --> 08:02.300] One of the most egregious things I think I've seen on video was a couple of officers stopped [08:02.300 --> 08:06.260] to talk to three or four guys who were sitting in a car. [08:06.260 --> 08:11.220] They demanded that they get out of the car and then they demanded identification. [08:11.220 --> 08:17.340] That requires, again, reasonable suspicion that a crime has been committed. [08:17.340 --> 08:20.580] Reasonable suspicion, by the way, is a step down from probable cause, but you must have [08:20.580 --> 08:22.700] reasonable suspicion. [08:22.700 --> 08:29.420] That is a constitutional principle that protects our constitutional rights, and this cop was [08:29.420 --> 08:31.940] blowing through it. [08:31.940 --> 08:35.300] One of them, they get out of the car, and when he asked for identification, one of them [08:35.300 --> 08:36.300] says, why? [08:36.300 --> 08:37.300] What have we done? [08:37.300 --> 08:39.860] He didn't use the word reasonable suspicion. [08:39.860 --> 08:43.060] Most citizens don't know that, but he said, what have we done? [08:43.060 --> 08:44.060] What do you think we've done? [08:44.060 --> 08:47.140] What are you suspicious of that you would want our identification? [08:47.140 --> 08:51.780] Of course, he doesn't have anything, so he starts making some nonsense up. [08:52.780 --> 08:58.020] The citizen was logical, so you say, no, that doesn't make any sense. [08:58.020 --> 09:06.020] Well, the officer, out of the blue, takes a step forward, smack, cracks this guy across [09:06.020 --> 09:12.060] the face open-handed, and then says, I bet that really pisses you off, I bet you want [09:12.060 --> 09:20.380] to hit me now, he is attacking, committing a violent act outside the law against this [09:20.380 --> 09:21.380] citizen. [09:21.380 --> 09:27.020] To get the citizen so angry, the citizen will attack him, and then, of course, he wouldn't [09:27.020 --> 09:30.260] give that version in his report, he would lie. [09:30.260 --> 09:35.820] Unfortunately for him, he did not know, one of the three or four guys, the occupants of [09:35.820 --> 09:38.820] the car, these guys are probably all about their late 20s, one of them was holding a [09:38.820 --> 09:39.940] cell phone that was recording. [09:39.940 --> 09:44.580] Now, he wasn't holding it up in a visible manner to record what was going on. [09:44.580 --> 09:50.020] He was holding the phone at his side, being pretty savvy, so the lens was pointing towards [09:50.020 --> 09:57.220] the action, but the screen was pointing away, the officer did not know he was being filmed. [09:57.220 --> 10:03.700] So yeah, this officer is a thug, he's a piece of crap, he is absolutely a bad guy. [10:03.700 --> 10:09.860] The incident I just described to you with the officer open-handed smacking an innocent [10:09.860 --> 10:17.180] citizen in the face to precipitate a violent conflict, I looked for that video online. [10:17.180 --> 10:20.620] So I go into YouTube, where I had initially seen it just a couple of years back, and I [10:20.620 --> 10:25.140] enter officer slaps innocent man. [10:25.140 --> 10:30.500] I never did find the video I was looking for, do you know why? [10:30.500 --> 10:38.460] Because it was pages and pages and pages and pages and pages of cops slapping innocent [10:38.460 --> 10:41.420] citizens on video. [10:41.420 --> 10:42.780] That's how bad the problem is. [10:42.780 --> 10:47.540] Now, if you're somebody like me who believes in police accountability, I follow groups [10:47.540 --> 10:52.380] like police the police and filming cops. [10:52.380 --> 10:55.780] If you follow these sort of accountability groups, and they're not, it's so funny because [10:55.780 --> 10:58.540] people refer to them as anti-cop, they're not anti-cop. [10:58.540 --> 11:01.860] They're pro-accountability, so, and that's another part of this equation that's really [11:01.860 --> 11:10.660] weird to me, it's like, so if you want cops to obey the law, to live by the very laws [11:10.660 --> 11:16.820] that they enforce on us, to a certain kind of person you're anti-cop, that just makes [11:16.820 --> 11:19.780] no rational sense. [11:19.780 --> 11:28.040] With a decade of videos showing the cops have been needlessly violent, they've been violent [11:28.040 --> 11:36.020] in an illegal manner, they have lied about it, departments have lied about the actions [11:37.020 --> 11:42.300] going on at least with the ubiquitousness of videos for a decade, and then of course [11:42.300 --> 11:48.540] we had the George Floyd incident and the protests which were the cherry on top. [11:48.540 --> 11:54.460] What we find now is a setting where the public, that's the important part, the public, and [11:54.460 --> 11:58.040] if you're like a cop worshiper, yeah, this doesn't include you, and you're probably [11:58.040 --> 12:04.100] mad about this, but the public on the whole wants greater accountability. [12:04.980 --> 12:10.740] The public now wants the cops held to the exact same standards, if not higher standards [12:10.740 --> 12:18.300] than the citizenry, and cops don't like that at all. [12:18.300 --> 12:28.020] I think it's fair to say a whole lot of cops became cops because they knew they could pretty [12:28.020 --> 12:33.420] much do whatever they wanted and never or rarely be held accountable. [12:34.100 --> 12:38.980] Now that that dynamic is changing, now that we're starting to see that the scale is sliding [12:38.980 --> 12:45.380] from almost never held accountable to, yeah, the public absolutely wants more accountability [12:45.380 --> 12:49.860] and the elected officials and the elected sheriffs and the appointed police chiefs [12:49.860 --> 12:53.500] and the council members and so on, they're all starting to see the public wants this, [12:53.500 --> 13:00.980] so they're saying, oh, we have to have greater accountability, and that is actually really [13:00.980 --> 13:02.500] taking shape. [13:02.540 --> 13:07.340] It's not what I'd like it to see, but it is moving in the right direction. [13:07.340 --> 13:12.700] More cops each day are being held accountable now than ever before in the history of the [13:12.700 --> 13:18.780] United States, so that's a positive, but not for the cops that are being held accountable. [13:18.780 --> 13:22.860] It's a positive for society, not for them. [13:22.860 --> 13:25.420] Another way to characterize this might be that for the first time in the history of [13:25.420 --> 13:32.380] the United States, those who are calling for proper accountability, I hate to say more [13:32.380 --> 13:35.660] accountability because that implies there's been some, and historically, there really [13:35.660 --> 13:36.820] hasn't been any. [13:36.820 --> 13:44.500] The segment of America that is now calling for proper accountability, it is now the public [13:44.500 --> 13:45.500] generally. [13:45.500 --> 13:51.500] It used to just be activists, people who'd been the victims of illegal or needless police [13:51.500 --> 13:54.260] violence, people who've had cops lie about them. [13:54.260 --> 14:01.540] If you follow the Innocence Project and you read or watch these case files about how these [14:01.580 --> 14:08.020] innocent people got sent to jail for 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 years, you read the things that [14:08.020 --> 14:13.820] the police officers did, the way they completely corrupted the evidence, it's mind boggling. [14:13.820 --> 14:21.340] That created activism, but now calls for proper accountability have left the exclusive domain [14:21.340 --> 14:26.380] of activists, and it is now a good portion of the population, and I think that's a great [14:26.380 --> 14:27.380] thing. [14:27.380 --> 14:33.580] Who is going to take the place of those that are retiring and those that are resigning? [14:33.580 --> 14:37.780] We don't have the answer to that yet because we're just coming into this novel situation [14:37.780 --> 14:40.260] that has not existed in the past. [14:40.260 --> 14:45.740] I would speculate though, since this is all over the media, that anybody who applies to [14:45.740 --> 14:53.700] be a law enforcement officer at this point in history, unless they're just really, really [14:53.780 --> 15:01.780] dumb, they've got to know that they're entering law enforcement in an age moving towards proper [15:01.780 --> 15:02.780] accountability. [15:02.780 --> 15:08.140] In other words, the mindset that existed 50 years ago, 30 years ago, 15 years ago, 10 [15:08.140 --> 15:12.840] years ago that said, you know what, maybe a cop would be a cool job, I can do whatever [15:12.840 --> 15:17.340] I want and never get held accountable, that is out the window, and it's moving in the [15:17.340 --> 15:18.340] right direction. [15:18.420 --> 15:25.580] So my speculation is the vast majority of people who are going to step up and say, yes, [15:25.580 --> 15:31.020] I would like to be a police officer, are those who understand that they will be held properly [15:31.020 --> 15:33.020] accountable. [15:33.020 --> 15:37.260] Isn't that the kind of people you want as cops? [15:37.260 --> 15:45.220] I've always believed that proper accountability in government is absolutely essential to a [15:45.220 --> 15:47.220] free people. [15:47.220 --> 15:52.580] Without accountability, then you slide downhill into something that looks like a dictatorship [15:52.580 --> 15:55.260] or eventually becomes a dictatorship. [15:55.260 --> 15:58.740] The public service have got to be accountable to you and I, they've got to be accountable [15:58.740 --> 16:00.340] to the people. [16:00.340 --> 16:06.180] So I want to suggest a couple of ways that you can hold them accountable or at least [16:06.180 --> 16:10.340] walk away from their unaccountable conduct. [16:10.340 --> 16:15.020] One of them is to purchase and read income tax shattering the mess. [16:15.460 --> 16:21.380] I know it strikes people as perhaps a little odd when I tell them the laws that Congress [16:21.380 --> 16:26.020] passed concerning the income tax don't apply to the vast majority of Americans. [16:26.020 --> 16:31.780] It's sort of an establishment and now accepted societal narrative that applies to everybody, [16:31.780 --> 16:34.420] but that's not at all what the law says. [16:34.420 --> 16:38.740] And I've been holding them accountable, if we can use that phraseology, since 1993. [16:38.740 --> 16:43.500] That was the last year I filed an income tax return or paid any income tax. [16:43.500 --> 16:47.260] And here we are as I'm filming this in 2021. [16:47.260 --> 16:52.180] And I can't even imagine how many hundreds of thousands of people have taken the information [16:52.180 --> 16:54.820] income tax shattering the mess and they've done the exact same thing. [16:54.820 --> 17:02.420] They've said, oh, now that I understand the law, what it really says, not what I've been [17:02.420 --> 17:07.300] told when I was in school, not what my parents told me, not what some accountant told me, [17:07.300 --> 17:12.820] but I've actually really seen it with my own two eyes broken down in a way that every single [17:12.820 --> 17:13.820] American can understand. [17:13.820 --> 17:17.260] Now that I've seen it, yeah, why would I keep doing this? [17:17.260 --> 17:20.260] That is a form of holding them accountable. [17:20.260 --> 17:25.560] Also body science, now you're not holding the government accountable, but you are walking [17:25.560 --> 17:30.220] away from a lack of accountability in the establishment overall, which is big government, [17:30.220 --> 17:32.700] big med, big food, big farm, and so forth. [17:32.700 --> 17:38.260] So you can read what they have done, which is the sort of the nutritional equivalent [17:38.260 --> 17:43.020] of law enforcement officers wrongfully beating an innocent man. [17:43.020 --> 17:45.300] It is the nutritional equivalent of that. [17:45.300 --> 17:47.580] So you can see what they've done. [17:47.580 --> 17:52.020] You can see what the truth is and then you go, okay, all right, I'm out. [17:52.020 --> 17:54.460] I'm not playing that game anymore. [17:54.460 --> 17:58.620] So I encourage you to go to drreality.news, pick yourself up a copy of one of those two. [17:58.620 --> 18:04.260] I promise you, you have my word that each of those in their own genre will be the most [18:04.260 --> 18:07.460] fascinating books you have ever read. [18:07.460 --> 18:08.500] Thanks for being here.
