The crux of the defense was that Erik and Lyle believed their lives were in danger after they threatened to publicly expose their wealthy and powerful father's abuse.

Police and Paramedics respond to a bar when an emergency call is placed for an unconscious person. Upon arrival the patient has mysteriously disappeared. The caller, still on scene, tells her bizarre story. Police investigate to find out everyone is okay, and that there is no more to be done. Then, at a gas station not far away, the woman at the bar continues to dial 911 to complain about the police, while the clerk also wants her gone. The final confrontation begins when the officers ask Karen to stop calling 911, and she is taken into custody, cussing swearing and resisting the whole way. If you want to hear Karen being processed at the station-- check out our YouTube page as Jon does a full drunk-in-custody breakdown.

A woman called 911. Her husband was drunk and armed, and ready to fight both his wife and law enforcement. Officers were dispatched to a domestic dispute at a home near 24th Street and Cactus Road.

Retired detective Drew will talk crime scene investigation tactics and the law, and how a case can be blown from the start. Jon catches up on voicemails.

Uber driver Lo-Letha Hall was shot and killed in the driveway of Bill Brock. Brock, 61, thought she was bagman for an extortionist, who had been threatening him and his family all morning over the phone. Hall was there to collect an envelope containing $12,000 which Brock had been told would be bond money to spring his nephew from jail. The same grifter had sent Hall to pickup a package-- but she had no idea what it was. She couldn't have guessed an agitated gunman would be there to meet her.

Real dispatcher Jon will react for the first time to the actual 9-1-1 calls, and former Detective Drew exposes these common scams, and how hard it is to find the perpetrators.

The boys are back in Classic Comm Center form-- live on a Thursday night to shoot the shit and take your calls just like in the good ol' days. But the release of body cam footage and 911 calls from that terrible day two years ago in south Texas weighs heavily on us-- the social media cops are back to carry the main stream media's water on the failure to intervene sooner at the terrible mass murder at Robb Elementary. They all say there's no law west of the Pecos, but isn't that oversimplifying? Isn't that scapegoating? They're out for blood and there's none to be had from the sick monster who killed his grandma and drove to a school that day to point a gun at innocent children. It's a heavy topic-- but Drew and Jon do their best to keep it light so we can acknowledge loss, tragedy, consequences and carry on. This aired on YouTube for members only.

Jon and Drew do the ultimate before and after breakdown so that you can can have complete context and truth which challenges the soundbites from TV's talking heads.
