this week in POLICE NEWS, we got a Dallas cop selling his wife's services to other cops (and it's not the first time they've been caught), Louisville cops killing a woman experiencing a mental health crisis, an April Fool's prank gone horribly wrong, yet another cop attacking high school students protesting ICE, and a cop farting in another's face.

This week we got a sick and tired Todd Lyons, a California sheriff running for office while seizing ballots, and Phoenix cops getting off without a consequence after framing peaceful protestors as affiliated with a gang that they completely made up.

In our Patreon we’ll be talking about a possible new legal hurdle to ICE arresting migrants outside of courtrooms, a cop fired for blowing the whistle on his chief threatening to rape and murder a female subordinate, and a cop convicted of the rape and murder of a child getting a lucky break in the justice system.

The Afroman verdict, ICE volunteers, verdict on Breonna Taylor cops, and more

Afroman vs. the Cincinnati police, cops using faulty AI and faulty drug testing kits to ruin the lives of our grandmothers, a drug dealing DARE cop in New York, and the tragic killing of Alex Lamorie

A woman with a missing hand being falsely accused of a fake crime, a lying cop getting off scot-free, a cop faking 911 calls to get back with his ex, cops attacking high school students, a jury finally convicts a Chicago cop accused of framing multiple men, and NYPD survives a snowball attack.

This episode covers ICE hypocrisy, police surveillance in schools, and Denver’s police drone program.

We break down a CBP supervisor charged with harboring an undocumented immigrant, new reporting showing police using school camera databases to assist ICE, and a Denver case where a resident reported a police drone outside her apartment window.

We also discuss Flock Safety, AI expansion, and how surveillance technology keeps growing with little public oversight.

Ashton and Jaffer start out the show reading the police-related headlines of the week and talk some updates on couple previously discussed stories. As for the main stories, there's lots to talk about this week. First, ICE agents are starting to publicly express anger about their jobs, from a lack of benefits to a lack of leadership. Then there's the outrageous killing of Christian Diaz Rendon, after Phoenix cops respond to an intruder with a gun call only to enter the home and kill the father who had just disarmed the intruder. Finally, a ridiculous story about Maryland cops accidentally butt dialing a horribly offensive voicemail about assaulting a council woman they personally knew, and also Kash Patel is an idiot.

We got a banger for ya'll this week with special guest co-host Mycal Dede joining Jaffer. After another insane headline roundup, we start with commentary on the ICE killing of Alex Pretti and the sentencing of the cop who killed Sonya Massey.

Then, we dive into the two newest examples of police techno-dystopia with cops again, and again, using AI to arrest the wrong people. This time we got a disgruntled boyfriend framing his ex-girlfriend and decades old cold-case that some random person in Mexico has to suddenly get arrested over. After that we discuss the infuriating acquittal of one of the cop who stood by while a killer murdered children in the school he was hired to protect, and explore why it's so difficult to prosecute police for inaction. Then we got comedian Desi Banks and a possible Mossad collab (Steph Curry too - why not?), a cop poisoning his girlfriend's dog, and so much more.

This week, a cop in LA felt victimized by his local Starbucks barista, who so cruelly drew a pig onto the officers cup, prompting the sheriff to get involved. Although it could have simply been a barista who liked drawing brainrot memes. Then we dive into other recent cases of cops making victims out of themselves at corporate restaurant chains.

The trial for the NYPD officer who killed a delivery driver began this week. We cover the details of the case and the larger issues at play.

Lastly, a journalist went undercover and got hired by ICE immediately. So, more ICE recruitment nonsense to discuss.

On our Patreon, we talk about some salacious NYPD side hustles along with the tech war bubbling in Minneapolis between the protestors and ICE.

This episode examines how police accountability actually works in the U.S. — and why it so often fails.

We discuss the tragic death of Renee Good, the first officer to stand trial for the Uvalde school shooting, the legal reality that cops are not required to protect the public, and a new law review study calling “suicide by cop” junk science used to excuse police killings.

We also look at police culture from the inside, including a lawsuit alleging discrimination, retaliation, and AI-generated harassment within a state patrol agency.
