In today's episode Josh and Bobby breakdown the Apple River Stabbing involving the defendant Nicolae Miu. The distinction between an incident being self defense vs. violent crime can vary from person to person. However the law is not always clear cut. This case is no exception to this rule. We also discuss officer retention and with cases like this one, how do we inspire the next generation of officers when rulings like the Nicolae Miu trial are handled so poorly.

Today we are honored by the presence of Craig Douglas of Shivworks! Craig is a nationally renowned instructor in the space and he is someone laying the groundwork for the next generation. Craig has experienced first hand violence from his time in law enforcement and more notably his time in undercover work.

Visiblue is a company dedicated to providing officers and security personnel with hi-vis, clearly identifiable hats and sleeves. This is a genius solution to combat blue on blue shootings, which happen far to often due to a lack of clearly identifiable garments. Chris provides a lot of insight on this topic, but also how to inspire the next generation of cop and how to be an asset ("don't be a piece of shit" as he puts it :). Make sure you show Visiblue some support by going to their website at visiblue.net
