Bernie Sanders, Police Accountability and Safety Advice
Bernie Sanders offers advice to a hypothetical son on how to interact with police officers during a traffic stop. He emphasizes the importance of identifying the officer politely while remaining mindful of the need for police accountability. Sanders expresses concern regarding the risk of being shot by law enforcement, a sentiment the hosts characterize as "crazy talk" and "douchey."
DHS Theater Attack Prediction, Domestic Terrorism Labeling
A May 2012 Department of Homeland Security report is cited, which predicted potential terrorist interest in attacking U.S. movie theaters following a bombing in Somalia. Discrepancies in early police reports from Aurora are discussed, including mentions of a second suspect and eyewitness accounts of multiple individuals working in tandem. A New York police expert's use of the term "domestic terrorism" is also noted.
Botched SWAT Raids and the Berwyn Heights Mayor Incident
The discussion highlights the dangers of paramilitary police tactics, citing a raid in Columbia, Missouri, and the infamous 2008 raid on the home of Cheye Calvo, the mayor of Berwyn Heights, Maryland. In the Calvo case, a county SWAT team killed the family's dogs and held the mayor at gunpoint over a package of marijuana delivered to his porch by a third party. The hosts emphasize the lack of police apologies or accountability in these "business as usual" errors.
