0:00 M between us and we'll edit this out if you want who do you think is responsible for the murder of Nicole Brown [Music] Simpson uh I think I think Lieutenant Aram show mhm what are you answering no I just like the sound of that so I was like yeah we're second I like that Cho chopping on his Chow there what what would you say what's your what's your favorite cop movie oo that's just so many good ones there's a lot to choose from I mean and there's some that are like you wouldn't know our cop movies leth a weapon fa Hills Cop I me I do love the classics right but I think the the act the most
0:52 accurate one I've seen that kind of encapsulates everything and does it real real good is End of Watch End of Watch really Jake Gyllenhaal michaelin oh that's a good one that's your favorite cop movie too when I saw that movie I was like I don't think I could be a cop really why cuz it's you know it's you saw the movie I I like their I like their camaraderie and their banter between the two partners it was very familiar that happens in the car that seems like the best part but the end is not the best part yeah that part really what that one um the uh with the Denzel day that was really I put that up there too is there any realistic elements to that absolutely in the '90s rampart had a unit um that that was that had a guy named Rafael Perez in there and he was a corrupt guy that uh worked a unit called crash they were like a gang task force and he had ties to some
1:43 uh gangster rappers and stuff and uh he did a lot of crup things and went down for that um so uh training day was was made Loosely on on the ra and the shield yes the sh the sh did you like the shield yeah Shield is great based on that yeah yeah cuz I remember uh the ramp part Scandal back in the day it was just reported everywhere I thought it was when cops were planting crack on the um cops planing evidence was part of the rampart Scandal corruption in general was the whole thing yeah overall I me they were stealing dope they were going into evidence and stealing the dope it's what the shield ended up doing they had a special unit that was basically pervasively doing all that have you guys seen the um an uh soft white underbelly interview of the corrupt New York police officer and how he goes through detail of like
2:34 how he started just a regular beat dude and then eventually detective and eventually like I guess he would um find out who the drug dealers are and then take them down but then skim a little money and it got to extorting them and it got to this whole thing where he knows all the drug dealers and they're all paying him and he's getting he's robbing them and now he has their drugs too and giving it to Other Drug I was like that's crazy yeah there it's a slippery slope and it starts small like you said um LASD had one in the ' 80s that that Scandal was called Arco Narco this narcotics task force and they were they were doing God's work man they were taking down some really big crime syndicates and they they went to this house and big old uh duffel bag full of cash and it's like and and these guys are tight I'm like hey dude I know
3:25 Jimmy's having surgery and the Department's not covering it and this is crime money it's not going to hurt any right it's not going to hurt anybody well take it you know and then but then now you're committed now you're going now hey dude I got your back on this you got my back on this and it escalates and it's a slippery slope and you can easily justify had Timmy's dying and this money would really help and it came from illicit sources and we're doing some real good with it instead of keeping it in an Evidence Locker or something like that that's kind of Mafia that's sick what happens to that money that does go to the evidence locker and the case is over and they're like all right it's not your money yeah So eventually it goes to asset forfeiture and uh it's a federal program so um so like we have guys that are embedded with the FBI task force let's just say they do a giant Narco sting which recently did there's one on the news Alman PD was involved in was a big fentel manufacturing sting took down
4:15 many gangs and as a result a lot of resources they were operating in El Monte uh we had an elonte officer part of the task force yeah so uh it affected Alman um but it affected largely California yeah and um so because we had an investigator that took a part of that whatever they seize we get a percentage of that asset forfeiture uh assets that were forfeited wow essentially so that's how we buy like our we have Bearcats which a lot of people say are militarized but they're actually specifically made for police that's the thing to bust Doors Down the bearcat's the giant armored vehicle um it has a turret on top oh looks like very SWAT like or something yeah if you Google Bearcat it's a SWAT exactly it's a SWAT vehicle but it's most most of the time it's utilized for rescue we had to go up to Arcadia uh there was a shooting there was a domestic call and the bad guy was shooting at officers and Arcadia does
5:06 not see action like this crazy yeah so a person across the street was shot an officer got shot luckily through and through on the mouth busted out all his teeth but he was but they're taking fire and now he's stuck between a tree and the house and they didn't have a bearcat so we were the only neighboring agency with a bearcat so we rolled it up and it's fully armored do you bring the Bearcat on a truck or does the Bearcat go road we drive it how fast does that thing go it's on a F3 F F350 chassis wow so it's a super duty it's a does it have Sirens too yeah oh ████ cuz I imagine that was like like a tank speed and it's going 10 mph and he like almost almost takes a while to get started but it's got a 6.7 I have a question for you but I need you to reach down next to you for that blue backpack yeah hold it up in the camera there's $11,700 in that
5:56 backpack if I am driving down the the freeway and you pull me over can you take that and you guys get it for your little Department I mean we have to take it for a reason if you're getting a speeding ticket and the money happens to be there there there's no Nexus to it but silver forfeiture is big big problem but if there's a Nexus to a crime so like if we take down a grow house and there happens to be thousands of dollars there that's a Nexus to the crime right if we uh drug uh bust a a gambling ring that money that's captured in there there's a Nexus to the crime if you just happen to be a baller and have tons of cash and we pulled over for speeding that has nothing to do with your speeding my gambling what if you would take down a grow up with another Police Department there's two hot chicks in there do you guys split the hot chicks most likely the chicks will be highly attracted to the cops themselves so
6:46 there's no taking it's just this is part of the game badge bunnies are a serious problem civilness badge bunnies titty forer okay got a SPL and a half what about um do you consider a Robocop a cop movie I do cuz he was a human cop first right he was like a really good cop there there was a uh I forget there was um somebody did a parallel comparison to things that happened in the movie that are happening now in 2024 I forget RoboCop yeah I forget are there so aside from Endo watch have you watched like cop movies like that doesn't happen yeah a lot that's why I couldn't take a lot of cop shows on TV seriously until Bosch came out really BOS is the most most not most accurate they're not 100% but the most realistic um especially the way they wear their uniforms like I'm sure
7:37 military movies same thing like you guys will see and they're wearing their Insignia and emblems wrong and that happens a lot in cop movies I mean you know they were their stripes upside down or how about Super Troopers Super Troopers was was great legit great what about oreno 911 that was accurate c d super accurate hardboiled or infernal affairs you ever seen any of those oh poed when you said uh you did like detective work um did you wear plane clothes and like go undercover and all that stuff so my first time I made detective I was uh I told you that a story about the first unit I was in uh so even though it was a community relations office it was more um developed to be a problem oriented placing team so we helped out the gang team the Narco team so we did dress in undercover clothes plain clothes and we did a lot of stuff that can't talk about
8:29 neas yeah that's what was going to add yeah but nothing fancy we didn't wear like leather jackets and chains and stuff like that you know it was mostly like jeans and like a flannel shirt you think that's a legit cot movie Donnie Brasco Bas off a true story right I don't know enough about CU you know when when you move to the east coast it's different policing policing is just different out there and and they say the same thing about the West Coast just two different animals um but yeah placing culture changes between the regions so it's it's hard to say like a Boston cop is different than a New York cop than a Chicago cop than an LA cop did you like Lethal Weapon go get great movies great you don't think I think every day about eating a bullet you know what if you and a in a good way to talk about the culture and this is like maybe it's a Hollywood thing California cops will tailor their uniforms right we wear them fitted
9:21 further east you go it's like off the rack baggy oh yeah and the I see them wear their hats and it's like they look like Gilligan and ████ it's like it looks way different like the guy yeah and we take uniform PRI I think I I give LAPD the credit for that uh Adam 12 they were clean cut um like almost every Asian cop you'll meet will have the same haircut they either shaved or they got the the park cut in oh yeah that's true yeah West Coast cops look more like almost like a tailored military yeah and that that that did come from the Marine Corps um so la what the Marine I forget who it was but helped develop the LAPD it was it was a marine and uh tailor uniforms were a culture in the Marine core it's the same thing and there's a theory behind it if feel so if I'm going to fight with somebody I don't want them to be able to grab on my clothing that's why I don't wear exterior vest I know a lot of cops do but that's something as a Jiu-Jitsu practitioner I don't want them
10:12 to have grips um but same thing with a loose uniform you don't want them to be able to grab onto you so we wear Taylor uniforms and they they they're vacuum sealed kind of like a football player their uniforms are vacuum sealed on um to prevent the grabbing I want I want to be I want be low drag I never thought of that have you ever had a partner and you're like a ████ this guy yeah yeah we've had we've had I worked I I mean I worked a 25 year career and how many partners would you have had in that career like um I I work with a lot so I luckily at an agency of my size we don't have dedicated Partners like LAPD you're dedicated for a short period of time with that partner uh we have the luxury of switching around right we can drive solo we can drive double up and we have the luxury of switching around cool so it's not like in the movies where it's like they're just with them forever I wanted to do K9 cuz I want to my partner was a
11:04 dog what if your dog wants someone else your dog hates you you ever had I want a real cop you ever had a partner's wife that cooks so bad that it'll that'll kill you more than the job no I'm sure that exists though okay yeah there's some bad cooks out there little Lethal Weapon shout out do you know any um cop so like I'm sure that these cop shows and movies they get um what you call it like stories of real events or they ask police officers or whatever right do you have one where you were personally like oh that thing that happened that movie I was either a part of or I know people who were or headlines mhm headlines yeah um yeah elman's in the LA County Market so um I was a I was a public information officer for a long time so my name was the one in the paper when it talked about my department some heinous crimes
11:55 but no for the movie things um but yes kind of as a kid do you guys remember when the nightstalker thing was happening oh yeah yeah so I lived in uh at the time we lived in roseme in a rental and um Richard R the nightstalker was terrorizing the San Gabriel Valley too so the night he was caught um I think it was San Gabriel where he was Gabriel so crazy somewhere in s Valley he was cornered by a bunch of because his face had been all over and a bunch of gangsters actually put him be a dumpster B and beat the crap out of them bu of gangsters did the justice and but I remember hearing the the sirens and there was no like live updates on the phone back then right uh but I remember watching walking in on my parents watching the news watching The Pursuit whoa capturing Richard Ramirez and I remember hearing the lights I it was like in the summer too and the house like everybody was terrified we used to
12:45 sleep with the windows open to get the ventilation but I remember when the whole nightstalker thing was happening locking the the windows and we're just sweltering in there and uh that house didn't only had one like window air conditioning unit but I remember like yeah lock I remember as a kid walking around the house making sure everything was locked that's how terrorized we were of this guy Richard Ramirez but um I bring that up because there's a really good documentary on Netflix now about that whole thing um Gil CIO is the um was the homicide detective from LD that investigating he's he's the main character of this documentary really good one but if you grew up in the San Gabriel Valley at that time you'll see a lot of news clippings and stuff that if you were alive at that time we would remind you of all that between us we'll edit this out if you want who do you think is responsible for the murder of Nicole Brown
13:35 Simpson uh I think I think the facts lead to OJ doing it holy ████ Crack the Case boys Crack the Case proof that a good good defense attorney can cuz he was off on technicalities yeah right holy ████ ████ he was off on technicalities he he lost his civil case the glove was so small why was it a child's hand si side I mean he may have had a but the thing is he went you think he had a child as a same evidence was presented at the Civil Trial and he lost that but in a criminal trial you have evidence can be thrown out because cops fumble the way evidence is acquired if you give the jury any doubt yeah if you give them any bit of doubt that's all they it was a great lesson for how how far a loyal can take you well quick quick quick question have you seen Mak a murder remind me of that one Sten Avery one it was in Michigan I think little I
14:27 don't think so okay cuz I was going to say what did you think the one the one I saw recently uh was uh the lady that faked her own kidnapping from Reading California oh yeah the one from the OC or some ████ right she said she got kidnapped by a bunch of Latinos Latino women she was like all they fed me was rice and beans fully committed she branded herself bunch of cholos got me no she just wanted to like be with her dude right yeah yeah yeah yeah she's just cheating she was cheating that's your people that's your people I claim her I claim her h
