Stellar interview. I did 27 years on the NYPD most of it in the 048 Det Sqd. Jason articulated all of the emotions that I have experienced without even realizing them. During the 90's and early 2000's it was a frenetic existence being a cop in NYC.
Jason talking about being physically present and yet distant with family hit me right between the eyes. I can definitely do some inventory of this type for sure. Thank you Jason for sharing!
Mark I think you would be intrigued with the stories my husband can tell. He was in OCCB and homicide. I think what you do is wonderful , giving a platform to regular everyday people to tell their stories. And you found an audience that are compassionate and want to listen. Truly fascinating
It’s very important what this man is talking about. There needs to be therapy for officers on the job, to help them deal with things that they see, and things that they have to endure. This is important, and it needs to be focused on more. Thank you for sharing, and thank you for your service. 👍🏻❤️
Well said . A good friend is NYPD / Brooklyn and the stigma of admitting to higher ups that you're struggling is very real , it's still frowned upon to ask for help.
Wow Rashawn's murder is unbelievably sad. I've grown pretty desensitized to most murders but ones like his still give me the chills. For someone to go to that extent to do that much harm to a body and haunt the family is beyond horrifying. Awesome job by Detective. Palamara in solving the case and giving the Mom closure. Wonderful interview and hope there's a Part 2.
I love his response to your question about how 9/11 changed his life. In a way I feel connected to this question, his response, and interview. I was a new ICU nurse when COVID happened and it changed my life forever. Sadly, I didn't process the traumas as I began experiencing them , and it broke apart my marriage. But it led me to therapy and discovering a beautiful part of myself I never knew existed , so I am forever grateful. Working in healthcare, much like the police force, is not for the faint of heart and not for everyone, but being able to be the rock that family can lean on for guidance and comfort during tragic times is unbelievably rewarding.
Very good interview. My kid just got promoted to BSO homicide dectecive from the violent crimes unit. I keep telling her to try to write, keep a diary of her cases. She would be an interesting interview for you. Great kid and a star detective. Keep doing what your doing. Thanks..
Its so good to see my retired coworkers especially my 84 family you look good Jason always liked you, you were a great Detective and a good guy. enjoy your retirement. Formerly PO Epps 😊
Despite all of the TV show and movies dramatizing the law enforcement profession it is rare to hear a very real aspect of the law enforcement profession which is its negative affects on mental health. So glad to hear Jason talk about this aspect of the profession which unfortunately leads to far too many UMOS taking their own lives. Thank you for your service Jason.
Being a member of law enforcement has to be one of the most rewarding, but also heartbreaking jobs. My aunt’s fiancé was a first responder with the FDNY for 911. What he witnessed took a toll on his mental health. Mental health services were not as acceptable as they are today. He was an amazing man who just couldn’t handle the heaviness of what he had seen and heard. Unfortunately, he committed suicide on June 6, 2006. The date I will never forget because of the tragedy of it, but the date in numerical form was 666. RIP John! You were loved and are missed by so many ❤
@@kathrynlabrujadelaplaya508did you serve with him during that time? I appreciate your gratitude but looking for some insight into the late 80s early 90s NYPD. Sorry so vague but looking for someone to discuss a case with if possible
Always deeply interesting,I've seen reflections of people who have passed through my life in some way other in the guests.cant say enough after this thing Mark does her J feel like hes capturing our REAL history,worth more than all the diamonds crowns' gold and cash in the world.Truth
The number of times someone you interviewed answers your question, (" what's the most important lesson you've learned in your life",) with ("That's a great question ") is just staggering. Of course it's a good question That's why you ask it...Thank you for these videos. Have a spectacular day😊
I believe the response is more a reflection for them that no one has asked them that before. Which gives more weight to what you’re thinking is obvious.
This fella has a good amount of compassion, and I feel no power hungry energy from him. He was probably excellent at his job, and I wish more cops were like him.
Thank you Jason, and may you find peace in retirement, and spend many long and wonderful years with your family. I can see myself and my family in him, because we also don't know how to stop and pause and be in the present - we always have to be on the move. But it makes us who we are. And thank you Mark for giving people like Jason a voice. I hope it inspires more people to be kind and humble, and to treat civil servants with respect. All the best to you both.
Great interview as usual. Great questions. Great guy. Only path I wish you had gone down just for a couple of moments was regarding, bad cops. Because he did mention how the police were loved before, and now hated. (or something like that). Which I actually think is not true. Most of us greatly respect law-enforcement. We just want good clean cops. And by the way, I agree with him that bad news sells. There are definitely horrific things that a small minority of cops do, and we don’t see the vast majority of good… so the perception can’t be distorted. That said, my questions would’ve been: 1) did you ever run into dirty cops and what were the circumstances? And 2) is there a blue code of silence? If a cop does something wrong, will another cop tell the truth about it, or bury it.
He is wearing a "blue line" shirt which says a lot more about his allegiance to his colleagues than to serving the citizens. If the police want more respect they need to lose the "us versus them" attitude.
My uncle worked his way up in NYPD & while I was growing up he rarely said a word. Once he retired he would talk, not about work but actually engage. Now I understand with your explanation
Excellent interview. Thnx from Buffalo NY fam. Thnx Mark.( Besides me? My whole fam in L.E.O..) I hear some stories. I'll stick to my job( flooring )jeez.. Interview a contractor ha. We got stories 😅
Marc u need to get Mid Night patrol cops from South Bronx , Brooklyn North , Manhattan North , era 70’s 80’s 90’s , those have greatest stories ,reach out to Ralph Friedman wrote Street Warrior : The True Story of the Nypd’s most decorated Detective, A Legend in the 41pct , the patrol guys , no details , titles etc. , Mid Night Patrol Guys , that’s the real job
The highest rate of divorce is with police officers. Two brothers that are retired officers. One never got married, other divorced. I’ve heard so many amazing stories from my brothers. It’s definitely the adrenaline rush that they love. At the same time it does change how they perceive life.
As a person who grew up in the 70’s, interaction with officers were so different… as I have aged and watched the transition of the mentality of the human race, you can only have empathy, respect, and prayer for these officers… they don’t do it for the money-I KNOW THIS-it is a true calling to make the world a better place, to leave a mark on changing someone’s life… no-they aren’t all good cops, but the majority of them who truly are, want your life to be better than you even realize it yourself…Utmost respect for what they go to sleep with at night and carry in their hearts forever… ALWAYS #BTB 💙🙏
I was wondering if the Whittaker’s are doing okay after Hurricane Helene & if they were affected? I love your channel & all your interviews & your caring, helping spirit! Bless you❤❤
Liking the cop interviews. Nice change of pace from skid row occupants. NYPD Detective Mike O'Keefe would be interesting to hear. Also Bonnano jr would be a good mob guy to hear.
Amazing how a stable childhood translates to a solid foundation for success.
It’s far more nuanced than that. But stable upbringing is certainly a key factor.
Life isn’t black and white.

I really like some of the newer videos with the positive messages. All are eye opening but sometimes the sad ones are difficult to watch.

Great precinct, did my NSU there in the 80's

Very sympathetic guy. You can see his character in his eyes.
I appreciate this man soo much. I can tell he truly cares about what he was doing and I thank you sir...

Nice calm, collective, and insightful interview.

I love the nypd interviews! Please add social workers, RNs, medics, fdny
Thank you Detective Palamara - you’re service to the human community does not go unappreciated. You are a blessing.

I agree with Jason, thank you Mark for being forth, ALL kinds of humans!! You do a great job!!
I love all these cops and mob stories from NYC!
Wow this guy has a level of self awareness and calmness to him that really shined in this episode. Bravo sir

I enjoy this type of interviews so much!
Great interview, would love to hear more from him
congratulations Jason! I remember you from your rookie days in the 84 you had a distinguished career and are still doing great work.
Nailed it again. Fantastic interview ❤
Mark, I love all the detectives you're having on lately!
Another great interview! Very insightful and interesting, and thank you for sharing your faith Jason! Great job Mark!
What a beautiful interview. Thank you for sharing Jason's story with us 🧡🫂
I loved Jason. An epitome of an unsung hero. He also looks like a movie star 🤗

Sounds like a good detective. Doesn’t look corrupt and I really like his calmness, must’ve have been a good cop and a good team player.
Very interesting, encouraging and uplifting interview.
Excellent interview, thank you to both of you.
You should have him back!! He's is behavioral health now?? What does he do did I miss that
Fantastic job . Please interview him again!

If all pokice officers were like this man, no one would be against them.
Wrong! People are anti police until they need the police. It's just human nature at this point.
it is a great channel to learn different american accents thank you
Excellent interview. Love this guy. ❤❤❤
I love how he related those Mark interviews to Jesus’ disciples. The outcasts, the beautiful children. Thanks Jason.
Great interview, what a great guy! ❤
Cameras everywhere and the internet, that’s what changed people’s perception of the police

Thank you
I love how the older ex detectives/mafia bosses all have the casual “I’ve done some sh!t” look.
Another interesting, informative interview
Mark, you got so many commercials it interupts the guest a lot....Hail to the NYPD and their dedications they offer to this crazy public
Another great interview
see ladies there are some good men out there ... what a gentleman !
I seen something a few days ago with actor Rob Riggle talking about using that Burger King to store stuff when he was in the Marines
AWESOME GUY...Should be more like him gives me a different perspective on nypa and all
Spot on!👊🏻🇺🇸

Nice compassionate Detective.
Goodmorning everyone!
A good childhood and good parenting. What a difference.
And yet such expectations of people to get over lacking a decent childhood or having a horrid one without a lot of support.

this made me look at the nypd differently 🙏🏾
I was 18 working in kings plaza mall in Brooklyn Modells on that frightful day

NYPD Detective Mike O'Keefe would be interesting to hear. Also Bonnano jr would be a good mob guy to hear.
I live in southern Illinois. A guy I know was in the second tower when the first tower got hit. They told them to stay put. He hauled ass.
