Social media has been buzzing over the last few days about the tragic and unfortunate incident where an Okaloosa County Sheriff's Deputy shot and killed Senior Airmen Roger Fortson in his home while he was legally armed. Emotions are running high, people are rightfully upset and concerned by the officer's body camera video. While at the same time, the Fortson's family attorney Ben Crump, is working overtime spreading lies and misinformation about the incident.

In America we are blessed to have the United States Constitution that protects citizen's rights against unlawful seizure at the hands of the government. We often talk about our rights, but we often forgo the important conversation of the responsibilities that come with our rights and how we use them. Legal does not always mean practical when it comes to our rights, and sometimes we push the limits of our rights beyond common sense and suffer unintended consequences. In this episode, I give my take on all of this in reference to this horrible incident.

One of the most underrated, underused, and misunderstood positions within law enforcement is that of the police Chaplain. Chaplain's have been around since the 4th century. From accompanying soldiers on the battlefield to riding shotgun with police officers on patrol, the chaplain has always been there. Despite their presence, many still do not understand the purpose of the chaplain or how they can be used to aid police departments, officers and their communities to achieve positive results. In this episode I am joined by Chaplain Jared Altic who has over 30 years of experience in ministry and six years as a chaplain with the Kansas City Kansas Police Department. We chat about his calling into the ministry, how he serves his officers and the unique challenge of getting officers to open up to him about their struggles. Chaplain Altic is also the host of the "Hey Chaplain" podcast where he chat's with first responders, military, and those in supporting roles, across the world about wellness and sharing their wisdom and experience with the Chaplain.

As America is suffering under the the Biden Administration's open border policy and millions of illegals now residing across our nation, there is no better time than now to share my experience with the Border Patrol. I spent 11 months of my life with this agency as a trainee and agent in the filed. The training was intense and it was a rough year. I then saw my dream job turn into a nightmare. I am thankful for the experience and the chance to have earned the right to wear the uniform and call myself a United States Border Patrol Agent, but I am glad that year is long behind me!
