·43 min·4 clips

Retired Captain Brett Bartlett shares stories from 32 years on the force that people wouldn't believe if they were told.

The episode begins with host Chip DeBlock introducing retired Captain Brett Bartlett, who has 32 years of experience with the Tampa Police Department. They open by discussing unbelievable stories from their time in law enforcement that people might not believe. The first major topic is a legal analysis by Mike Benz, who outlines three potential federal charges that Pam Bondi could bring against Judge Boasberg for his role in the Arctic Frost investigation, which involved subpoenaing phone records of Republican senators. Next, they cover a crime story from Florida where a man threw hot grease on his roommate during a dispute over unwanted guests, causing severe burns requiring an ICU stay. The hosts then analyze a dash cam video from LAPD where officers struck and killed a skateboarder while responding to a call, discussing the risks of high-speed driving. Another segment details a Hillsborough County deputy who fatally shot a suspect wearing a motorcycle helmet and ballistic vests while the suspect was choking a child with a knife; the deputy used a precise headshot. The episode also reports on 20 Mississippi officers indicted for allegedly taking bribes to help Mexican drug cartels, part of a multi-year FBI undercover operation. Finally, they review an NYPD shooting where officers repeatedly commanded a man to drop a gun before shooting him, with Bartlett criticizing the repetitive 'goofy loop' of commands. Throughout, the hosts provide commentary based on their law enforcement backgrounds, sponsor breaks promote related products and services, and they conclude with shoutouts to supporting organizations.
