The military myth in policing began many, many years ago, reaching its pivotal moment shortly after 9/11. The presence of a military mindset has always been present in policing worldwide, but reached its peak after that day in September of 2001...with the development of Homeland Security, and the war on terror began playing out in real time.

Some say it started with the widespread training of how fast you can put on your PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) to protect oneself from chemical weapons...yes that happened in the early 2000's. Initial trainings were put on by military personnel around the US. Others argue it began when police departments began reaching out to military units for guidance on tactics and training programs to help prepare line level police officers for the ultimate terrorists threat.

But, make no mistake, military mindset in policing is not always a bad thing...we've seen some great leaps in policing adapting some military protocols. In reverse, the military has said they have learned some things from modern day policing. This ranges anywhere from tactics, fitness, procedural programs, to testing.

We touch on training aspects, budgets, tactics, numbers, and more in this episode. Throughout policing worldwide, criminals continue to elevate their network, and gain more technical advantages from firepower to computers...law enforcement worldwide needs to keep up!

Join us in this episode as we tackle this mythical beast...some may not agree with what we discuss...but others who have been in both realms like we have, will totally and completely understand where it is we are coming from when both worlds collide!

Death is inevitable, a very sensitive and in some social circles avoid discussion of the topic entirely. Well, if you are not sure where you stand on this subject then perhaps it's time to dive in head first...Euthanasia - A Death Way Out!

In this episode we discuss the touchy subject of Euthanasia, no not pets, humans...assisted suicide, mercy killing, oh what a spicy soup! The terms, the legalities, and the fantastical! Should euthanasia be a common household practice?

As it is said, everything dies, from the plants, animals, to all the humans on the planet at some point we will die. What if you have a terminal illness, your death is now in view...you are going to die...where does Euthanasia fit into this picture. What if you are incapacitated, in a coma...what happens now?

We are not scholars, medical doctors, or philosophers...we are dudes on a podcast. So take it as you wish, we have seen a lot of death, responded to suicides...have personal stories surrounding this topic. Investigated death...but what if you chose the route of euthanasia...what if...

So, grab a handful of Ohhh Shittedness, and a pure belief in the wackiness this topic brings about...make yourself ready, it's a doozy of a show! Don't worry, no one cries in this episode...at least on the outside.

We go back to 1987, a moment in time that captivated a community, and caused a firestorm of frenzy in Pennsylvania. We discuss the sudden sad ending and suicide of Robert Budd Dwyer, a truly tragic story. The story is surrounded by scrutiny, speculation, mistrust, and the high flying criminal charges to follow...and it is capped off with one evening in front of an already tense crowd of news anchors, onlookers, and journalists...to become the witness of a tragic death!

It would reach an infamous level when in 1995 a band called Filter would release a song titled, "Hey Man Nice Shot!" Tells the spiraling story of Robert Budd Dwyer!

Warning, this story does not have a happy ending, it is a sad story, and many people watched a man take his own life...truly a horrible sight for his family, and everyone present...it would resonate for decades.

No more be said...

Hope everyone enjoys the episode, thank you so much for listening to our podcast, we really do appreciate it!!!

Back to the haunts we go!!! Lake Shawnee Amusement Park, considered to be one of the most haunted locations in the United States...a truly terrifying picturesque environment...as they say, very creepy!!!

The place has been featured in several documentaries, History Channel, and other podcasts. But is it haunted, built on top of a Native American burial ground...does that make it immediately haunted. According to the stories and folklore, yes, that does lend to the tales of misadventure and death that has befallen this cursed place.

Join us in this episode as we venture into the darkness...well...kind of...mixed in you might experience some debauchery, and some terrible mispronunciation of verbiage which seemed well timed! We can assure you it was not...Detective Chuck experienced some sort of mental mayhem during the recording of this podcast...listen and find out!

Is Shawnee Amusement Park haunted...well that's what we discuss, we will let you decided!

Hope you enjoy the episode, thank you for listening to our podcast we really appreciate it!!!

Here we are once again at the doorstep of UAP Disclosure, or are we? From current and ex-presidents making bold statements to congressional hearings and mumblings...where does that leave us all? So how did we all get here...well in this episode we explore the path that has led us to where we are today with UAPs, NHI's and more.

At this point nothing is off the table now, as the old saying goes, "The devil is on the doorstep!" Or think of it as the classic tale of a vampire, in order for a vampire to reek havoc in your life they have to be invited in...so do we invite them in...

The argument remains present at every watercooler around the world...do aliens for the lack of a better term, exist...are we alone.

Join us in this episode as we tackle the timeline and discuss the evidence present in front of us so far as we begin to answer that question...are we alone! As they said on the X-Files, "The Truth is Out There!" If your a skeptic or believer, this episode is for you, maybe both can find common ground here.

Hope you all enjoy today's show, thank you for listening to our podcast, we really appreciate it!
