3 Cops Talk - Rebuilding Community Trust

Let us know what you think of this episode with a text!The guys compare Father’s Day gifts ranging from plastic surgery and a pack of new socks to an unexpected fascination with the biopic of the King of Pop.They also take a look at an upcoming film directed by Sean Penn that depicts the experiences of a United States Capitol Police officer during the events of January 6.Finally, they discuss a recent article by Travis Yates examining the growing belief that de-escalation training is the solution to many police use-of-force issues. Like the D.A.R.E. program before it, de-escalation has been heavily promoted and funded as a cure-all despite ongoing questions about its real-world effectiveness and its ability to address the complex, unpredictable situations officers routinely face.From Father’s Day surprises and Hollywood projects to policing tactics and public policy, this episode covers plenty of ground.Link to Travis Yates article:https://substack.com/@travisyates/note/p-200314315?utm_source=notes-share-actionEmail: [email protected]: https://www.3copstalk.comYoutube: https://youtube.com/channel/UCFWKMerhChCE6_s5yFqc4awFacebook: 3 Cops Talk | FacebookInstagram: https://instagram.com/3copstalk?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Let us know what you think of this episode with a text!“Mayday” has long been the universal call for help—so it’s fitting this episode drops on May 1st.Law enforcement remains under fire—despite what most Americans actually want.In major urban centers, activist mobs, emboldened criminals, media narratives, and political leadership continue to complicate efforts to restore order, creating an environment where chaos isn’t just tolerated—it’s amplified. And the consequences are no longer abstract.From unprecedented threats against the President and his Cabinet to targeted violence against police and everyday citizens, the line is being crossed more often—and more openly.At some point, it needs to be said plainly: lawlessness and violence used as political opposition isn’t protest—it’s a threat to everyone. And those who want a return to order need to start actively supporting the people working to restore it. Email: [email protected]: https://www.3copstalk.comYoutube: https://youtube.com/channel/UCFWKMerhChCE6_s5yFqc4awFacebook: 3 Cops Talk | FacebookInstagram: https://instagram.com/3copstalk?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
