What does this evolution say about the importance of fit and personal connection to a firearm? The episode delves into the unique challenges of hunting in Canada, especially extreme temperatures. How does climate impact firearm maintenance and usage, according to Sean Pollock? Sean Pollock mentions his preference for leaving firearms outside in cold temperatures rather than bringing them indoors. Why is this method important, and how does it prevent problems during hunts? The discussion explores the role of family tradition in hunting and firearm use. How does passing down firearms from generation to generation add meaning to the hunting experience for Sean Pollock and his family? The episode touches on the concept of “being a perpetual student” in the world of firearms. What does this mean, and why is continual learning so important in this context? Sean Pollock emphasizes the importance of pairing high-quality optics with reliable rifles. How can choosing the right glass make a difference in hunting situations, especially in low light? What factors lead Sean Pollock to invest in a Cooper rifle, and how does he justify the higher cost compared to other rifles? The idea of ethical shot placement and responsible hunting is brought up several times. How does Sean Pollock integrate this ethics into his hunts and teaching his children? Hunting is compared to other activities (like golf) where having the right tool for the job makes a difference. How does this analogy help non-hunters understand the variety of rifles a hunter might own? Throughout the conversation, both speakers point to the community, camaraderie, and family that come from shooting and hunting together. How do shared outdoor and range experiences strengthen these bonds, and what stories from the episode best illustrate this?   2GuysTalking welcomed in a dynamic firearms trainer to talk about each and every firearm used inside The 1999 feature film, "The Matrix".

What would an ideal crisis response team look like in your community?

How does one become an on-film character that not only represents a nation but is the leader of what will be a decade+ of Marvel Cinematic Universal entries that will last a lifetime? The worry, beyond casting Captain America, was how on Earth could we take a strapping (and hopefully talented) actor, toss him into a red, white and blue skin-tight suit, strap a shield to his forearm and not get laughed out of theaters across the planet? The answer? FUNCTION. While many of the things you see are cleary from the realm of comic book realms, Marvel found a talented, strapping actor, they got the suit, shield and patriotism to work, and it really does propel the very FIRST offering for Captain America in the MCU.

It's time again to explore the tangled issues of misrepresentation, bias, and the clash between perception and reality in both the Black community and law enforcement. This episode opens up tough conversations about how negative headlines, media narratives, and our own prejudices can distort the truth, overshadowing the good that happens every day. The team tackles the myths of the “code of silence,” the influence of politics and social media, and the struggle to hold bad actors accountable.

Eric Alexander and Chris DiGiuseppi both talk about the dangers of painting groups with a broad brush. What are some real-life effects of these generalizations, and how can individuals push back against them? The episode raises the idea that trauma and negativity tend to sell more in media coverage. What are some positive stories or examples that you think are underreported in your own community? Both police officers and community members describe facing a “code of silence.” What do you think motivates this silence, and how can it be addressed constructively? Eric Alexander challenges the saying “perception is reality.” Do you agree or disagree, and why? How have your perceptions of a group or event changed after learning more details? What role do politicians and the media play in commodifying suffering or misrepresenting certain groups? How should this be challenged? The hosts and guests mention implicit bias—for both officers and civilians—based on repeated negative stories. How can implicit biases be interrupted or reduced on an individual and organizational level? What are some steps communities and police departments can take to highlight positive collaborations and change existing narratives? Critical thinking is a recurring theme in the episode, especially around evaluating news and evidence. What are some ways you personally verify the information you receive? The panel suggests inviting members of the media and other communities to diversify dialogue.

Evolution in Police Sidearms: Tommy discusses the shift from revolvers to semi-autos in law enforcement. What do you think are the main reasons departments moved away from wheel guns, and are there any circumstances where you think revolvers still have an edge? Agency Policy on Carry Choices: Tommy talks about his agency’s open policy regarding officers’ choice of duty weapons after probation. What are the pros and cons of allowing officers to choose their own firearms from an approved list versus strict standardization? The Role of Plus P Ammunition: How does Tommy explain the significance of “plus P” ammo, and why might it be important for shooters (law enforcement and civilian) to understand ammunition types? Psychological Factors in Gunfights: Tommy theorizes that the loudness and concussive force of certain calibers, like .357 Magnum, play a psychological role in stopping threats. Do you agree that noise and shock can be just as important as physical stopping power? Holster Experimentation: What did you find interesting about Tommy’s journey to find (and eventually craft) a holster for his 686? How important is the right holster for everyday carry and why? Training & Familiarity vs. Equipment Standardization: Both hosts stress the importance of being comfortable and proficient with one’s firearm. In your experience, does personal comfort and skill outweigh the benefits of everyone using the same make/model? Old vs. New Firearms: There’s discussion around whether older revolvers (like Tommy’s pre-MIM 686) are actually better made than modern firearms. What are your thoughts on the “they don’t make ‘em like they used to” argument? Guns That “Spark Joy”: Tommy and Mike often mention carrying guns that “spark joy” or give them the “fizz”. How much do emotion and personal attachment influence your choice of firearm for everyday carry versus more utilitarian considerations? Firearms as Legacy and Recreation: Towards the end, both discuss handing down guns and enjoying them as a family or hobby. How do you view the role of guns as heirlooms, recreational tools, or shared learning experiences outside of self-defense?   2GuysTalking welcomed in a dynamic firearms trainer to talk about each and every firearm used inside The 1999 feature film, "The Matrix".

  Writing about anything - isn't easy. Coming up with ideas, that engage, educated and help people understand the context of what they're learning about is a real skill set. During a reasonably frustrating time connecting social media track several months ago, I was presented with a NEW author that I'd never encountered. Tyler Freel. While I originally thought that it was a pen-name being used to conjure content, after a series of weeks reading ongoing articles from Tyler, I found that not only was he REAL, he was "FOR REAL" when it comes to talking about firearms, the outdoors and living a life that many of us only ever accidentally think about. It's time to welcome a great and creative writer, Father, Writer and Outdoorsman that has so much to share with me and the g rowing 2GuysTalking Guns audience.

  Depending on how old you are, you may not remember 1974, but you know who does? William Kidd, aka Billy the Kid. Why does he remember 1974? Because that's the year the San Francisco Police Department created their first crisis negotiation team. And Bill was there from the beginning. Since that time, Bill has built a legacy that has been undeniable in the field of crisis negotiations.

Read on below to find them all and remember to reach out to ask if there's something else you'd like to see from this episode!   Timestamps for This Episode of The Crisis Cop Podcast: 00:00 William "Billy the Kid" Kidd, a founding member of San Francisco's first crisis negotiation team in 1974, shares his story on the Crisis Cop Podcast. 08:52 We learned from other agencies' successful handling of incidents, benefiting from their experiences in unexpected situations. 14:45 They strongly opposed using third-party intermediaries, which often backfired during incidents. 16:33 Debriefs grew in popularity for incident discussions, focusing on context, actions, and outcomes. Active listening was underutilized until the late '80s. 25:01 NYPD's approach in the 60s-80s, focusing on communication over confrontation, was revolutionary in handling challenging incidents. 31:55 Botched robbery at Petrini Plaza, San Francisco led to a hostage situation and standoff with Law SF agents. 33:22 In 1979, a mentally ill man caused an incident in a San Francisco high-rise. 42:47 A significant incident involving an employee's death highlighted the importance of awareness and learning from others' experiences, influencing the speaker's outlook on life and career. 48:03 Experience with negotiation teams has diminished the drama and entertainment for me, but a positive aspect is the involvement of behavioral science professionals in California, who provide psychological support and debriefings for negotiators, improving outcomes over time. 53:01 Understanding diverse backgrounds and experiences is crucial. Selection processes often include test scenarios to evaluate one's ability to engage and communicate effectively. 57:59 Emphasizes the importance of empathy and interpersonal skills in navigating chaos. If empathy isn't your strength, consider other paths. 01:02:01 The funniest incident involved daily walk-ins for unlikely-to-be-prosecuted misdemeanor cases in a high-stress investigative unit. 01:06:47 Chief's ceremony honored the negotiation team with gratitude, comments, and commemorative challenge coins for their 50th anniversary, attended by negotiators and affiliates with photos taken. 01:11:53 Involved in crisis negotiator training since the late '70s, currently instructing a state course on Domestic Violence for Crisis Negotiators since 2000, training over 1,000 negotiators. 01:19:00 Grateful to Bill for sharing his valuable experience; looking forward to more insights.   Questions Answered Inside This Episode of Cops and Robbers Talk: Bill Kidd describes the resistance to crisis negotiation concepts in the early days. Why do you think many law enforcement officers were reluctant to embrace crisis negotiation teams when they were first established? The episode mentions that San Francisco’s crisis negotiation team was one of the first in the country after NYPD. How did learning from other agencies’ experiences help shape the early approach of SFPD’s team? Active listening skills are now a key part of crisis negotiation. According to Bill Kidd, these weren't widely adopted until the late 1980s. How do you think the introduction of active listening changed the outcomes and processes of negotiations? The episode covers the importance of empathy in negotiation. In your opinion, can empathy be taught, or is it a quality that negotiators naturally possess? Pat and Bill discuss legacy, particularly the importance of knowing the history of a negotiation team. Why is understanding the origins and evolution of a team valuable for current and future negotiators? One key point was the collaboration between negotiation and SWAT/tactical teams. What are the potential challenges and benefits of joint trainings and operations between these two units? Bill recounts incidents that were both successful and tragic. How did these experiences influence changes in training, policy, or mindset within the San Francisco Police Department? Stress and coping mechanisms for negotiators are addressed in the latter part of the episode. What supports or strategies do you think are most effective in helping crisis negotiators manage the emotional toll of their work? Bill talks about learning from failed or problematic strategies, such as using sedatives in beer or relying on third-party intermediaries. How has transparency about mistakes and failures shaped professional growth in this field? Looking at Bill Kidd’s long career, what qualities or habits do you think have allowed him to have lasting impact—not just in San Francisco, but in the broader crisis negotiation community?   Links from this Episode: -- Get All of Pat's Books via Amazon Now!    - Crisis Cops: The Evolution of Crisis Negotiation in America      - Crisis Cop 2: More Stories from the Front Lines of Crisis Negotiation      - Calming the Chaos: My Life as a Crisis Negotiator in the St. Louis Area 2GuysTalking Podcast Network Link to the Network's homepage to provide listeners with more background. 2GuysTalking Podcast Network Be sure to Like, Subscribe & Share Everywhere!   ==== Connect with Pat Doering - The Crisis Cop Today! — Pat Doering on Facebook — Pat Doering on LinkedIn — Pat Doering on Instagram — Crisis Cop on the Web -- Crisis Cop on YouTube   ==== Help Us Tell People About 10+ Years of WhatCopsWatch.Com: On the Web: https://whatcopswatch.com/ At Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast....

  Talking to people is supposed to be something EASY. Hey, how’s it goin’!? What’cha got planned tonite? Hey, what the status on that project and the consequential discussion makes for lives across the globe day after day. But what happens when the conversations that you’re having – are literally – life and death? Inside of 1998’s The Negotiator, we join Samuel L Jackson and a GARGANTUAN cast of characters to see how he, as a hostage negotiator – takes hostages and finds a way to prove that he’s clearly been done wrong – or was he?

Are SWAT teams specifically trained for these scenarios? Discuss how real-life protocols might differ from what is often portrayed in movies like "The Negotiator." 2. **Realism in Film:** Considering the skepticism around the feasibility of shooting a computer system to destroy evidence in "The Negotiator," how do law enforcement professionals view the portrayal of such tactics in movies? Can these depictions affect the public's understanding of police work? 3. **Hostage Negotiation Procedures:** Tony Daniele mentioned that law enforcement wouldn't typically enter a building with multiple hostages unless there's confirmed shooting. What are the detailed protocols that govern such decisions, and how would the situation escalate if additional shots are fired? Discuss how negotiators and tactical teams decide the precise moment to breach. 4. **Psychological Assessment:** In the podcast, psychological assessment of the perpetrator was emphasized in hostage situations. How crucial is this aspect in determining the tactics used by negotiators, and how does it balance with the actions of tactical units? Provide examples of how psychological profiling might impact decision-making in crisis negotiations. 5. **Badge Number Familiarity:** The hosts discussed officers' familiarity with each other's badge numbers. How important is this kind of detail in real-life police workflows, and what scenarios necessitate this knowledge? Explore how personal familiarity among police officers can significantly impact teamwork and crisis resolution. 6. **SWAT Negotiators vs. Tactical Forces:** Chief Chris DiGuiseppi highlighted potential rifts between SWAT negotiators and tactical forces. How do these internal conflicts manifest in critical situations, and what measures can be taken to mitigate such tensions? Consider how cohesiveness or lack thereof within law enforcement units can alter the outcome of incidents like those depicted in "The Negotiator." 7. **Depiction of Internal Affairs:** The podcast touched on the portrayal of internal affairs in media. Why do you think internal affairs units are often cast in a negative light in movies and TV shows, and how does this shape public perception of real-life internal investigations? Analyze the impact of such portrayals on trust between the police force and the community. 8. **Evolution of Hostage Negotiation Tactics:** Tactics in hostage negotiation have changed significantly from the 1990s to now. What are the critical improvements in handling hostage situations mentioned in the podcast, such as shutting off utilities versus modern trust-building techniques? Evaluate how these advancements have improved the efficiency and safety of resolving hostage crises. 9. **Accuracy vs. Entertainment:** In balancing accuracy with engaging storytelling in films, how do law enforcement professionals view this trade-off, based on the ratings given to "The Negotiator" by the hosts and guest? Discuss the implications of prioritizing entertainment over realism in films, and whether it affects the credibility and public perception of police work. 10. **Art of Negotiation:** The podcast describes hostage negotiation as more of an art than a science. How does this notion influence the training process for negotiators and their on-field decision-making? Discuss the importance of adaptability, creativity, and intuition in crisis negotiation, providing real-life examples to illustrate how these traits are applied by successful negotiators.   Timestamps Inside this Episode: 00:00 Podcast episode on 1998 film The Negotiator. 05:30 Established investment rules per politicians' instructions.

  Firearms aren't just something people partake in as a hobby or piece of their lifestyle. They are an investment. Something that they pour time, effort, money and parts of their life into to change the way they live their lives. While the price of firearms varies, if there was ever a time where something absolutely needed to "do what it's supposed to", it's with firearms. When we consider the variety of x-factors inside of any purchase, the path to firearm ownership is littered with many different kinds of landmines that are NOT easy to nagivate. Consumer Advocacy is VITAL to make sure that your investment isn't only sound, but eventually REALIZED and that means sharing information.
