    The Best Martial Arts for Cops - Dr. Jeremy Butler

    The Best Martial Arts for Cops - Dr. Jeremy Butler

    Why are martial arts becoming an ever-growing part of police work today in the United States? Dr. Jeremy Butler joins the show to discuss the benefits this type of training can bring to our officers, communities, and law enforcement agencies. Other topics discussed include defund the police, abolish the police, growing up on Chicago’s south side, how Dr. Butler avoided becoming involved in gangs as a kid, and much more.

    Waist Size is a DUMB Fitness Standard - Here's Why

Love it

I am thinking about being a police and this has helped me be safer out when I go out! Love that they are honest and give the ugly and not just the pretty, I don’t understand the people who are giving one star! But respectable, I hope that this podcast keeps going because I can see the lord do some amazing things with this! God bless you all!!!

Bootlicking

This used to be a good podcast from a former officer and then pressures from the thin blue line of nonsense has turned it into all bootlicking and advice to kids that bullied or got bullied in high school and want to put people in cages. I can no longer listen.

Awesome

I really wanted to write a great review because there seemed to be some really negative ones, which I feel are totally undeserved. This podcast is so great. They really dive into the world of police and life advice. As someone who went to college for criminal justice, I know politics and police are very intertwined and I think this podcast does a great blend. I’m learning a lot, not just about the mindset of police, but how much they sacrifice! Thank you for an amazing podcast!
