A former King County deputy speaks candidly about watching the institution he once loved become consumed by politics, ego, bureaucracy, and internal distrust. Using recent allegations involving the King County Sheriff’s Office BEES unit as a starting point, this episode explores something bigger than one squad or one investigation: what happens when the public stops trusting law enforcement — and when cops stop trusting each other. This is not a trial. It’s a reflection from someone who lived the culture from the inside.
