Network Boss Note: The End of an Era: Who'd have thought that we'd only have ever formally reviewed ONE Chuck Norris-based tale at The 2GuysTalking Podcast Network across 20+ years of content? The bottom line is that Chuck didn't die - Death ran from him and well - we needed a Good Guy to take his place to welcome those who go the way of the great rescue chopper in the sky. We will surely revisit MORE great Chuck-based content and we hope that you'll connect with us to tell us what YOU'D like to hear/see? White Shores to a gentleman that will NEVER have people sharing tales, jokes and legends that blaze in the courageous memories of all, forever. Goodbye, Chuck and we thank you. The sprawling city of Chicago. A bad cop. A dead kid... and Chuck Norris? There's something magnetic about Chuck Norris. It's why we can all quote one of a million quotes where Chuck Norris Doesn't Do Push Ups - He Pushes the World DOWN. The memories of the best Chuck Norris quotes are good but you know what's better? The memory of my Mom being in a Chuck Norris movie. Back in the early 80's my Mom was an extra, in the elevated train and news press corps scene inside of The Code of Silence - starring Chuck Norris. It's time for an incredibly educational Perspective Review, courtesy of WhatCopsWatch.Com...

Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) – A Perspective Review
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. Curious to see what WE thought were great moments? Curious to understand just what a blockbuster this feature film was?

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.

The Art of Outdoor Storytelling with Tyler Freel: Hunting, Guns, and Survival
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.

Bill Kidd and the Birth of Crisis Negotiation in San Francisco
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.

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 mo

Questions Answered Inside this Episode: 1. **SWAT and Fire Protocols:** How do police departments typically handle situations where there is a fire in the building involving an armed suspect? 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?

The Tale of the TTI Combat Continues – Tim Boening Shares His Perspective
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.

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.
