    So soft. Don’t waste your time.
    No need to explain further. Extremely boring and zero fun at parties.

    Great Podcast
    This is a great podcast. He takes time to talk with people from around the tactical community about topics we wouldn’t otherwise have a chance to hear about.

    Giving into the woke mob
    First of all the incident with Breonna Taylor was not performed as a “dynamic entry”. It was not the SWAT Team either, it was a group of NARC detectives. For once get all of your facts straight. Go back and look at the case and the officer’s testimony. They announced, waited, breached, waited at the door confronted the suspect at the end of the hall from outside the doorway threshold and the officer was shot. The officers then shot an extremely high number of rounds into the hallway killing Breonna Taylor. Then another NARC detective just ran into the parking lot indiscriminately firing into the structure. Again no “dynamic entry” involved in it. Poor training and execution lead to this tragedy, not performing a “dynamic entry”. Another example of you all “cherry picking” an incident to somehow substantiate your position and you still get it wrong. In the end it sounds like two guys that enjoyed it while it lasted and now they need this check from the NTOA and special interest groups and they are down with the narrative. Good grief guys, you can do better.

    Great source for after action reports
    I was sent this podcast by my captain and I really appreciate the amount of detail that John goes into when he covers High profile incidents and critiques the highs and lows of these jobs with the operators who worked the job. The ability to self reflect and pass on vital lessons learned is why I continue to listen to this. It is relevant to all swat and emergency service members to gain valuable knowledge to help further there skill sets or see a different perspective on accomplishing the same task.

    Jon Goes Deep into Needed Conversations
    I appreciate the willingness to have the conversations that need to be had. Jon has a great way to bring the conversation to the forefront and create the environment to share.

    Not Just for Tactical Officers
    Lots to learn. Not just in the tactical world either. Jon finds guests who can talk about topics that can be related in many professions. I really enjoying finding nuggets that I can relate to my life.
