Recycled Chaos
After a lengthy hiatus and time off to recover from shoulder surgery, I am back to speak my mind. In this episode, I discuss why I decided to step away from social media and podcasting due to drama, negativity, and conspiracy theories. With the chaos unfolding in Minneapolis, I wanted to remind...

How To Create A Racist
I'm not one to say that we are on the verge of a race war (white vs. black), but if we are, I did not expect it to start via Gofundme or GiveSendGo. The fact that black Americans are finicnally supporting black criminals who have killed white people and white people are donating their money to a...

The Opportunity Of A Lifetime
A few months ago, my name was brought up to the producer of the tv "On Patrol: Live" as a possible guest host. Me, being the skeptic that I am, did not put much thought into. My skepticism faded when I received a message inviting me to Jersey City to do a screen test for the show!

I Wanna Be A Bad Boy
As a police officer and a Christian, sometimes it gets old being being the bigger person and having to turn the other cheek. At times, it feels like I am a punching bag for society and I am not allowed to respond to defend my honor in the name of remaining professional. Sometimes I get so mad...

The OT Greed Trap
When I was a rookie police officer on LMPD, overtime (OT) was a forbidden word. Now, in 2024, with police staffing levels at an all time low across the country, officers all over America have the ability to set themselves up for future financial success with unlimited OT and high paying off duty...

The Little Boy Wo Cried Hitler And Racism
Americans voted and unamously agreed that it was time for Donald Trump to be the leader in America once again!

Just Accept The Thank You And Free Meal

-
Nobody's Perfect
As a cop and podcaster who often comments on officer's worse days on the job and their mistakes (intentional or not), it might be easy to assume that I think I am better than others and have an arrogance that makes it seem like I am perfect and make no mistakes. Well, that can't be any further…

Police And The Fight Against Bad PR - The Tyreek Hill Incident
Policing in 2024 is no longer about the facts of an incident or a case. What matters in 2024 are the optics of an incident. The recent encounter between NFL superstar Tyreek Hill and the Miami-Dade Police proves that. In this brief episode, I give my take on the incident and talk about the…

The Face of 22 A Day
Everyone is familiar with the 22 A Day slogan that represents the 22 veteran's a day that end up taking their own lives. We all know the saying and we all know the 22 A Day push up challenge, but do you know the faces of the 22? Unfortunately for myself and many other veterans around the country,...

Why Lie? Veterans Stealing Honor and Valor
Being in the military is honorable, period. Combat veteran or peace time, service is service. Behind a desk pushing papers or in a foxhole with bullets zipping past you, we are thankful for your service. How and where you serve doesn't matter. But what does matter to me and many others is when...

The Cult of Politics, Race And Victimhood
After an extended period of time, I Am. Pitts is back! In this audio only episode, I talk about cults. When I say cults, I am talking about the Anti-Trump Cult and the MAGA Cult. Over the last few weeks, I seemed to have angered both. The cult of blackness (being black) still believes that Donald...

The Police Chaplain - Jared Altic

Honor And Shame
Honor and shame. America has become a country where we bestow honor to those who do not deserve it and we refuse to shame those who deserve to be shamed. Being bestowed honor comes with a lot of responsibility, but that seems to be a foreign concept to US government officials. We have elected...
