And I know that's an example, but was that a catalyst for rethinking that?
31:08
100%.

It had a lot to do with patrol rifles because all they had were 9mm handguns, couldn't defeat the body armor that those gentlemen showed up with that day.
31:15
SWAT officers came in.
31:16
One of the rounds that actually took the gentleman down was underneath the car and into his ankle.
31:20
So, I mean, a lot of this stuff kind of finally worked out in the end, but it did teach a lot of lessons.
31:25
But what you see, they call it the over-militarization of law enforcement.

I'm pretty happy with us so far.
20:36
It just has.

a hundred percent i just so telling on myself i just had my knee replaced back in february so i mean but i've got a history of tearing stuff up i make bad decisions as a as a hobby apparently and i found myself in the recuperative stages the first two to four weeks after that surgery i mean there was a there was a significant mental weight i mean it there was a lot i usually i said seven days at the gym and all of a sudden my my gym routine is walking from the bed to the couch So I started doing adaptive workouts for wheelchair-bound individuals sitting in my living room because I couldn't use my right leg.

And I think that's where a lot of us go towards physical fitness, but the physical in front of the mental is it gives us the ability to lock in and create change even in atmospheres or remain that we are kidding ourselves and thinking we have total control because we never really do.
21:44
But we cheat in that aspect a little bit.
21:46
So when I can do things physically, I move the needle.

I was still in college, and this is where I hadn't quite figured out what I wanted to be yet.
49:33
And I was taking martial arts with a bunch of guys, and one of the guys said, hey, come do a ride-along.
49:36
He was a sheriff's deputy with a county up near there.
49:38
