Det. Jevon Miller unpacks the events leading up to, during, and after an incident where he was shot by a suspect and left fighting for his life. He also details an incredible story about a kid choking on a tent stake. If you need an analogy seek out Det. Miller. He has them for days and you'll hear how he uses them to explain the challenges officers face. I close out the episode breaking down how our culture's focus on "treatment" without consequences is leading to chaos and how the Word of God can help us do it better.

Det. Ryan Hockley shares some humorous stories, speaks frankly about an officer involved shooting he was involved in, and a horrific case of physical child abuse he investigated. Det. Hockley also unpacks his feeling about some corrective discipline Anthony gave him on the job.  This episode kicks up the dust with everything from humor to bar fights to shootings and kidnappings.
