Well, I think Kevin, like you and I grew up in rural areas
in Texas and it's a different mindset out there. You know. I grew
up handling guns, being trained by my uncle and my dad on proper safety
and knew how knew what was appropriate, what wasn't appropriate. Don't ever point
your gun. It's something you're not ready to kill, you know, and
all of that sort. I mean owning guns. Is an eight year old
having a twenty two rifle and a shotgun and a four to ten shotgun.
When I was eight years old and had the trust of the people that trained
me to use them, to be able to take them out on my own,
it was just normal. And for centuries or centuries, but you know,
for a one hundred and fifty years or so in this country, those
areas that's the life, you know, and it's okay, and it's fine.
It's the big cities that are the problems. But then again, I
think you kind of have to You have to look at each area or each
state and realize where these problems are at. These problems aren't really happening in
rural areas in smaller towns, except maybe uve all day could be one of
those things. But look, then you get the people that will say,
in New York there was a shooting that happened on a subway, what probably
happens all the time. And then you see the comment section it's like,
yeah, and New York has the highest gun control, one of the highest
gun control, the measures put in place in that city. And then the
comment section will say, yep, a lot of good the gun control laws
it up there. It's like, yeah, you're right, it's an impossible
horse to put back in that barn if that's what you're inclined to want to
do, because there are so many weapons out there that you can get any
time you want. You talked about stealing a car yesterday. It's easier to
get a gun than it is to steal a car. Oh yeah, ease,
far more easy, is it? Eighteen? Do we know? I
mean, like, is that a fair? Like? Can we just say
do we know? The law enforcements? On? Hold? If you want
to talk to someone from law enforcement? Hello, law enforcement? Yes er,
how are you? Hi? I'm good, Harry Man. Hi.
I was calling a reference to you all discussion on the Casey Parade incident.
Yeah, and where a lot of the victims are essentially collateral damage from the
two knuckle heads that we're going back and back. Essentially, what might have
happened was that they could have had what was called tunnel vision. Whenever you
have an adrenaline dump, your body loses certain aspects of mobility, to include
tunnel vision, which you lose peripheral vision and you're focus on your target or
whatever you're directed at, and you also lose auditorial exclusion, which means that
you kind of lose your hearing. Innocence in law enforcement, we're trying to
kind of push past that and hopefully overcome that to when any other any other
advices being hit. But that could be part of the reason why they why
that happens, if it wasn't just them going after those innocent people. That's
fascinating. A term like tunnel vision that we all know. I've never thought
of how literally that's kind of what that means. And the fact that there
is a term that police know and apply that sort of reaction, that's excellent.
It is so I've been through it myself, and it's crazy how you
just kind of you kind of are fixated on whatever you're you're focused on at
that moment, and you just have to kind of snap out of that to
avoid any any other collateral damage so to speak, or injury to yourself or
another officer. That's fascinating. And you combine that and and man explained to
our listeners, you're being a trained officer that is probably highly trained in firearms,
especially handguns. You combine that with youth, the the adrenaline dump that
results in this tunnel vision phenomenon, and then the fact that these kids that
are out there running around with guns have zero real training on accuracy. How
freaking hard it is to to hit your your your object target with a handgun,
even at a fairly close range. You've got to be really good and
really trained to be able to do that. Yeah, that's uh, to
be shooting in that Huh. That high of a population at that moment is
stupid at so many levels. I mean, as for law enforcement, we're
kind of we're kind of our accountability level for every round that we fire is
there. So for every round that we fire, for whatever incident it might
be, we're held held accountable. So it's important that we get every round
on target. And of course, these kids or whoever they were they're not
being held accountable. They don't really look at the overall aspect, and this
is the unfortunate outcome to it. Yeah, and it's one thing to be
in a controlled environment and the proper stance with a proper grip, you know,
firing at a target that's whatever twenty feet or thirty feet away, as
opposed to some kid running running and running backwards with a gun turned sideways,
not even really looking at his target. That's not gonna work. Wow.
Side alignement, proper stance, proper grip and all that plays rolling of the
outcome where that ron's going to go. And of course these kids don't.
Thanks for calling in, dude, that's that's really interesting. Inside. Had
no idea about the tunnel vision aspect of that. You hit that siren for
us one time, I'm sorry, hit that siren real quick one time.
Oh man, I'm a detective. Okay, Oh well, don't you reach
out and put that on top of your car like in the Rocker Files.
No, man, I see, I'm a I'm in cide and I uh,
I don't drive a marked unit anymore. And I'm actually just pulling out
to work right now, so I'm not in my service vehicle. Awesome.
Do you mind if we put you on hold and get your info in case
we have any detective questions ever, every once in a while, Yes,
sir, go ahead. Cool, okay, thank you so much. Detective.
That's very interesting. I mean, that's like a great, perfect explanation
of exactly what we asked. That's interesting.
