You know him, you love him, Just returning from hunting a bear with only a knife and a dream, the Machinegun Moses – Aaron Krieger.
Fall for good cop bad cop. You think you’re too smart to fall for this routine, but you’re not. You’ll be upset and you’ll want to talk, especially to anyone who appears sympathetic. Law enforcement officers are not necessarily your enemy, but they’re not your friend either. Shut up. Talk to your lawyer before you make any statement to police.
Try your case on the spot. Police have more than one way to get you to talk. Aside from good cop bad cop, they might challenge your use of lethal force. You’ll want to argue your case, but don’t. Again, shut up. You’re not a lawyer and you’re not in a courtroom, not yet anyway.
Lecture police on the law or your rights. One of the worst things you can do is get belligerent or act superior. Police are human beings and will react like anyone else if you challenge their authority, belittle their intelligence, or talk down to them. No matter what police say, even if they say or do something you believe to be incorrect, this isn’t the time to get into a debate.
Fail to use the word “sir.” Most police are good, decent people who have a difficult job. Treat them with respect. Phrases such as “yes sir” and “no sir” will go a long way toward showing responding officers that you are the respectable, upstanding citizen you know yourself to be.
Be surprised if you’re treated like a criminal. It’s best to assume that you will be handcuffed, placed prone on the ground, locked in the back of a cruiser, or even jailed. It takes time to sort out the truth of any shooting, and police are likely to do any or all of these things. Don’t take it personally. Don’t resist or argue. Cooperate fully and just let it all happen. Of course, if you’re a member of Second Call Defense, you’ll have immediate help to sort things out. But even if you’re not, take it all in stride.

Message Hey out of all your instructors on the show could you guys have a brief discussion on your individual RSO Range Safety Briefings? I feel like mine is ok but I always am looking to improve.
2A supporters who don’t take themselves too(at all) seriously. New to the show and am catching up on old episodes. Finding myself laughing all the time, and learning something new as well! Keep it up Mantiwhores!!
Great podcast. While I was looking at patches on your website. I stumbled into the panel bio’s. I was shocked when I saw Jeremy wasn’t a fat cow. The way he slurs his words during the podcast, I assumed you guys and gal made the “fat and furious” patch after him. The review is a 4-star because of Jeremy’s terrible website. I was expecting high production value, like the show. But then again it is Jeremy. Awesome content, great panel!
