Officer involved shootings are some of the most scrutinized incidents in law enforcement. A short video clip can spread across social media in minutes, and opinions about what happened often form just as quickly. But a few seconds of footage rarely capture the full picture.

In this episode, Dave and Steve walk listeners through the reality of how officer involved shootings are investigated. Drawing from their own experience handling these cases, they break down common myths and misconceptions surrounding memory, body cameras, evolving statements, administrative leave, and the investigative process itself. They also explain how criminal and internal investigations operate, the legal protections involved, and why context, evidence, and the totality of the circumstances matter when determining what really happened.
