Failure To Stop

Last week in Charlotte County Florida, dispatch received a call about a disturbance just outside of Punta Gorda. Deputies arrived and made contact with owner of the property, Elroy Clark. Clark said one of his tenants was acting erratically. During the investigation, deputies were told that Clark may have had a warrant and asked dispatch to confirm it, and it was. More deputies were called to assist. They attempted to detain Clark, but he resisted. He became agitated and non compliant to verbal commands. Tasers, batons and OC were deployed to little effect. Deputies attempted to tackle, subdue and restrain Clark unsuccessfully. Less lethal munitions-- bean bag rounds-- were deployed, and finally Clark charged a deputy, who used his service weapon. Clark was struck, and aid was rendered by deputies until EMS arrived, however Clark was died at the scene. Former police officer Eric Tansey will take you through this use of force, using his experience with excited delirium and suspects resisting arrest to inform you the police officer's opinion on these events.

Yes that last part was a joke.

But will it be in court? Or will the result be so disastrously suspicious that protests begin around the country? Institutional faith as at an all-time low and millions of Americans have been conditioned by the media and politicians to hate each other-- will results from Wednesday morning just be a match in a pool of gasoline? Tansey will show you the polls, speculate on their accuracy and take the country's temperature before what could be the most contentious election in our lifetimes.

Did Sean ’Diddy’ Combs poison actor Jamie Foxx? Details come out in the ’Freak Out’ sex assault case against building against the rapper. The two have fallen out, but some are saying that Foxx even called the FBI about his claims. Jamie Foxx was hospitalized in April 2023 while filming the Netflix movie Back in Action in Atlanta-- something that knocked him out of action for 20 days and caused significant impairment of his memory. Was there something Combs wanted him to forget? Beyoncé Knowles showed up at a Kamala event-- and then did not even sing a song while she was there. Guess it wasn't in the budget, which was $10 million dollars. Hate to see what Swift would have asked for to whistle a few notes. Eric also recaps his time in Orlando.
