Off The Cuff

TITLE: Should We Arm All The Teachers? DESCRIPTION: In light of the increasing impact of school violence on the American psyche is arming all the teachers really a viable solution that either teachers or law enforcement would find ultimately valuable in either the prevention or response to violence in our places of education? In this clip of the Off the Cuff show, Mike the Cop and Dave are joined by educator Mike P. to share thoughts on recent events and intelligent ways forward. A little more serious than our typical podcast but such an important topic to us all that we just didn’t want to miss the chance to discuss it. We do have a little whiskey and fun at the opening of the full episode beyond just this clip of the show.

In the longest and weirdest titled episode yet, Mike and Dave discuss some recent news items, including officers that were suspended after getting high on edibles on the job and running around chasing each other. We then turn a more serious corner and talk a little bit about our religious backgrounds (which actually brought us together as friends originally). So, sit back, grab your favorite beverage and enjoy. PATREON support: http://www.patreon.com/mikethecop SHOP: http://www.mikethecop.tv

Mike and Dave obviously will take a while to ever to the point of just about anything. Why? Because we like to drink whiskey and sit in the podcast studio. In this episode we do a review of the Will Smith and Joel Edgerton Netflix original movie BRIGHT as well as barely scratch the surface of "cop movies" and television that we like or don't like. So we will definitely hit a round 2 on thisl SUPPORT US ON PATREON: http://www.patreon.com/mikethecop

People always say to avoid politics and religion at the dinner table. So of course Dave and I decide we should wade out into those dangerous waters.

With the recent "swatting" incident in Wichita making the news and many of you guys asking for commentary on it, Dave and I decided to address it on our most recent podcast episode. Dave has actually been a member of a SWAT team and brings that experience to the table. We take our time getting there and catch up about the holidays, podcast stats and other random whiskey generated content as usual. ---- SHOP: http://store.mikethecop.tv INSTAGRAM: http://www.instagram.com/mike_thecop FACEBOOK: http://www.facebook.com/realmikethecop TWITTER: http://www.twitter.com/mike_thecop SNAP: mike_thecop1 ---- INTRO MUSIC: "Ya Hear Dat" by http://www.instagram.com/bookem_382

Star Wars the Last Jedi sure sparked some controversy among Star Wars fans! Am I right or am I right? For this episode Dave made a Hitler subtitle reaction video for us to kick off the conversation.

Mike and Dave address and react to the released body cam footage and information on the tragic incident where Daniel Shaver lost his life at the hans of a police officer, recently acquitted of 2nd degree murder. While many may think this is just a clear black and white case with sides to be chosen, we explore the shooting from both technical and practical perspectives in an objective a way as we can. We take no pleasure in the loss of life and as Dave explains (from the perspective of someone who has had to do this) there is no real winner in that situation. We do not condone unnecessary violence while recognizing that in the course of police work, violence is sometimes an unavoidable engagement. This video reaction contains some of the body cam footage and is intended ONLY for educational purposes and not for the purpose of entertainment. Our views are our own and do not represent anyone official, our departments or otherwise. Full video version of this podcast: http://www.youtube.com/c/mikethecop

In this sorta like Seinfeld episode about nothing (only not as funny and with middle aged men that like brazilian jiu jitsu), Mike and Dave and the underpaid producer do some ice-breakers for team building to pacify HR and Mike shares his time being in person with Mark Zuckerberg. The highlight is when Dave's daughter Ally answers her phone in LA and shares a story of being hit in the clavicle with a nickle. Hopefully in this episode you've cracked your favorite drink and just sit back and laugh with us. Thanks guys!

Mike and Dave take on special needs! No, not the people themselves but the issue! How should Law Enforcement Officers plan to prepare for and engage with those in our communities that have special needs and how should those caring for them interact with law enforcement. Good topic that we ran out of some time on but think is valuable. FULL EPISODE here because we think that this is uniquely beneficial to a broader audience. Drop follow up questions in the comments!
