@@ianbickCT Ian, I sort of accidentally found this podcast, somehow. This was an interesting discussion. I don't know how far you have completed your education but I can see being a college teacher. Regarding people's biases, people will deny they have them. We don't live in a perfect world but an imperfect one and we have to strive to do the best we can with our lives. "Fight the Demons." I was in NYC several years ago and asked police officers for directions and found the ones I met to be highly rude and discourteous. I have pondered on this and reached my conclusions, either some are poorly educated and trained or they are always on survival mode and don't possess good people skills. Pedullo may not wish to say there is corruption and racism in the NYPD because it would reflect poorly..And if this is in fact the case, I don't blame him. But, at the end of the day, police officers are also human beings. They are our societal guardians to protect citizens from harm. What Pedullo and his partner did was the right course of action to take. He and the other officer could have easily been killed. I grew up in Chicago and Pedullo mentioned the CPD who was killed, her name was French. Keep up the good work.
My Father was a Cop in the 75th precinct in the late 70s through the eighties when The Crime was terrible in NYC. I remember him getting home at 3 in the morning and watching him from the top of the stairs sitting in the living room Crying a few times. I would run downstairs and give him a Huge Hug and say I love you daddy not letting him know I saw him crying. After I Graduated College and he was retired I told him I saw him Crying a few times after work and asked him why. He told me some of the things he saw and went through were really terrible and he then told me that what made him carry on was me hugging him when he got home telling him I love him. I told him I figured he needed a Hug and he started crying.
And this “sappy boo hoo story” is coming from someone that used the name “masskilla” for a RUclips username huh? Apparently your father didn’t do much for raising you. You wanna be a “mass killa” and your father was a shield shiner………..poor fellow
Pedullo sup dude.....i had the pleasure of working wit this guy im a former police officer i worked wit him in the 94pct squared away guy...i thought he was former military because his uniform was so sharp good good dude havent seen him in forever tho......this is so cool......brother stay safe miss u dude....this is wiggins
The way these interviews are done and the guest are actually allowed time to answer is great! I absolutely love these conversations. Keep up the good work man!
Thank you for both of yoy talking about mental health. I fought going for PTSD for years and finally being so emotionally fucked I went. It saved my life. In turn it showed guys around me that it Wasn't some weak shit to get help. I had 3 different phone calls of suicidal friends in the middle of the night and each one said they called because they knew I came out the darkness they were in. I spent hours with them and had them in a therapist/trauma specialist office in a day. If you're in this situation, you're not alone and you are cared for. We need to change fiest responder stigma on getting help. I know of cops who were scared to lose their jobs because of PTSD from seeing dead kids, victims of gang R@pe and other horrific shit.
PTSD is worse when your mind is not occupied, do something, don't sit at home, don't watch TV all the time, or do something that occupies your thoughts and body. After 9/11 it took years to try and "forget?" what happened and what you saw. It will always be in your mind BUT it won't be in the forefront of your day.
@@krisone63 Absolutely solid advice. For me at my worst I would sit with my thoughts staring that the TV and not actually being present in the moment. Actually my knife business started by a buddy trying to get me out of the house who was a veteran, and was learning knives. Our mentor encouraged me to take it to the next level from bored at home to making a few knives. That turned into a business when I went to a TECC class to get out of the house. I made some awesome contacts with instructors who wanted knives and actually started to learn role-playing work for TacMed. Now I've worked as a contractor since 2017 in TacMed training and active threat response. Being around blank fire, Sims and other effects actually helps me deal with high stress simulated situations where I'm more calm than being stuck in my head. I was actually worried about 18 months ago that i was done in training and everything I've worked towards would be starting over. I was out for a walk for PT with my GF from a very serious car accident that should have killed me. While walking that night 18 months ago her and I both heavily trained on pre-attack indicators, reading movement and trust our gut. We saw a shady dude walking a street perpendicular to use in our general direction. In the shadow we both see the outline of a 🔫 and look at each other knowing we need cover, and NOW. This guy never says a word as we hustle to cover roughly 100ft away. First round cracks off about 15ft from me. I hear the whiz of the round just missing opening my skull. I keep her running with me between the threat and cover. 8 more rounds are let off. 3 close enough to hear the whiz if the round. The other 6 cracking slightly farther away. His last round caught me through the thigh. I go down as she turned for cover. Got up behind cover. She starts my TQ and held security for me, ready to stop the threat if he pursued us. By some miracle a local LEO was getting off dinner and heard the shots another 200ish feet away, we've trained these guys and know protocols for GSWs so as he pulls up we jump in the back of the Explorer and give him the 10 sec description and took off the the hospital between 80 and 100mph. For dispatch of sh0ts fired to being stripped in a trauma bay was less than 9 min. This is where once the dust settled and realized the round missed my femur by a 1/4" and avoided surgery, this is where her and I could finally talk after our statements, identify the sh00ter (admitted he was thought we were X people and intended to eliminate us. Then saw us in the ED and knew he aimed on the wrong couple. Court just finished is why I can share this) Between the accident and sh00ting I was shook for the next training. I knew I needed to work through hearing sh0ts and process the event as best as possible while being there for her. She was a badass that night and stayed focused on the job. 24hrs+ later in the hospital she was not sleeping until I did. She's still struggling with sleep and the events. We are still near the area it happened. Making it even worse Philly DAs office is garbage. This guy was out on bail at prelims, we forced an ankle monintor and he's finally gone to a bench trial and opted last min for a BS plea deal. 9-18 months on Ag A$$ault 2 and talking with guys in PPD they all said do expect him to do a day of it. He's probably getting probation and walking out of sentencing. She's been rattled since. She knows she can talk to me which helps and she's said at least I know what we both went through. After the first few classes and helping others learn the importance of medical care under stress has been huge for us both. I see the strain on her, for me it's there but in the back of my mind most days. She is not there yet. I'm working on finding her a 2A friendly therapist to help get her through this. I know having a therapist who understands carry goes a long way compared to most who hate 🔫's and don't allow carry in their office. Both therapist I've had were not only cool with it, told me carry when I'm in session. Just be discreet, which I am anyway. I can imagine how much you dealt with after 9/11. My dad helped with recovery after and 25 years in fire/rescue he said he couldn't shake that scene. When he came home I saw the hollow look he had as her cracked a beer. I heard the same some buddies in ESU and FDNY. It's something most say is still in the back of their mind. I appreciate you taking the time to respond and if you made it this far. This was a bit of me venting what I've been working through. When I commented 6 months ago it was right after the court date was continued again and I couldn't sleep.
I love the way people say “ my father , uncle, husband etc was a cop etc -so therefore I am an authority on policing. I was a Detective also. NYPD ,retired 23 years ago. Not the same job.
I’m a ex-bank Robber, what’s funny now my best friend is a police officer and ex-marine gunny sgt, I’m 30 yrs crime free bc the thought of losing my best friend or my other friends would kill me inside!!! Thank you for your service
@@arod3382 It is not everyday someone could come clean and be that honest about themselves as you are. You have been crime free for 30 years. Take some personal time out for reflection. Buy a journal and write about yourself and dated it. One day you will see how much you have evolved as man, as a human being. I will tell you this much, in most situations, people who get involved in crime or some form of trouble, it is usually due to coming from a difficult childhood and or family life. The late John Bradshaw had said, "If you want to know something about someone, study their childhood." I grew up in Chicago in not the best neighborhood but I didn't allow the neighborhood to swallow me up. We have all been young, naive, vulnerable, and even gullible to some extent or degree but then, we wake up. Your Marine buddy will always be a Marine, not an Ex Marine. I served four years in the Marines. It was challenging but it gave me the opportunity to leave Chicago for something better.
Most of the police I've ever worked with, I've asked them 3 questions... - "What was the worst..." - "What was the craziest..." - "What was the funniest..." call that they had been on.
Somehow this podcast has taken over as my #1 go-to right beside Lex Fridman. I can't believe how underrated this podcast is. I'd expect the views to be in the +100,000's.
Ian another great interview with Steve. Steve thanks for doing this interview with Ian. Great Job. Agree everyone has a past and shouldn't be looked at for their past but looked at for what they are doing now and what they have planned for the future.
What a great interview. I was always taught to respect the police and I do. Thank you Steve for being open and honest. It’s great to see a policeman with great character 🥰
Love these podcasts,you don’t have that annoying Alpha persona and your not constantly trying to one up your guests. Also you are getting so much better at interviewing
Nicely done, and I’m glad you addressed the mental health stigma. In regards to the physical fitness standards, you were spot on, it should be a standard in law enforcement, at my last law enforcement gig as an Air Marshal, we had a QFA (Quarterly Fitness Assessment) Push ups, sit ups, run , and pull ups. It was 4 times a year (hence the quarterly) I think that was a good thing. Enjoy retirement.
I was once in jail detoxing, my BP was 192/134...! They sent me back to my cell and was told to pay down and sleep...!?! Didn't even give me a Tylenol or anything...!?! I'm glad I'm sober now...!!!
This guy worked at the seven five precinct, known as the most corrupt in the city, and he never saw it. That's the one thing a cop, retired or not, will admit to seeing. He's seen it. Cmon man.
You’re a badass dude. Idk if you’re interested, but it seems like it’d be a good episode. I’m a recovering heroin and also a felon, who owns his own business now. And father. But I dig your shit and will keep watching
I think I know this guy. I'm from hicksville ny. My brother was 73, right next door. Same time period. I was ems, jamaica queens. Rough neighborhoods for sure. ❤
As someone who’s been on the other side of the game and understands the roles that we play; this guy is the type of officer who deserves respect on that base human level. He’s one of the few speaking real ass honest shit and the type we as a country need more of. ACAB is bullshit. We’re all human and have our part to play; but if you can’t respect that then you shouldn’t be playing.
Really? Nice for a cop means they only watch their fellow officers beat people and make up charges and turn a blind eye. Great people. Fuck all Cops. I don't care if a Nazi saved puppies. I don't care if a Cop plays basketball with some urban teens for a photo op. Best they can be is neutral unless they are constantly calling out their department which will get them fired because ACAB.
My dad was a retired captain from a small town. He always was on point with his uniform, hair, etc. he would shine his shoes a couple times a week, he was always put together.
My Father was on the job in the 50’ 60’ and 70’s NYPD DET. LT. Of both narcotics and homicide units in the 4-1 the old Fort Apatche.. ya wanna hear insane stories?? This guy’s story are marshmallows
28:47 judge's need to have more sympathy for the real victims than the one's of the criminal. So because she "couldn't conceive" he gets lowered. Yet the actual victim's daughter will NEVER see her father again forever.
53:50 don't let it slip under the radar here that he's talking about police corruption. He's 100% a beneficiary of it and he was probably giving them free drinks in exchange for that information
@@myrandapistokache6653 hell yeah. I’m ok with getting shot at after breakfast and coffee but fuck man what kind of animals shoot at you before you’ve had time for that lol
Lost me at 21:20ish.. smh this guy wants us to believe he worked for 16 years on the NYPD and never saw a corruption? That's bullish*t. Plain and Simple I'd say it to his face if he was standing in front of me.
Absolutely fantastic interview and I'd like to add your crazy if you don't get therapy if you need help if you break your arm you go to the hospital to get it fix sometimes people need to talk to fix there thoughts
So- hear me out. I hear “if you’re polite to me I’ll give you a warning, if you’re rolling your eyes I’ll hit you hard”- but what in the world lol. In no way should a community member be expected to act completely respectful with officers. The driver may have had a difficult interaction with officers previously- allow them to feel that. Especially today, it is more than fair for the community to be a bit uptight during traffic stops. Do you know what doesn’t help the community regain trust in police? Getting a ticket when you should be getting a warning because you didn’t make the officer feel real nice about himself. You have no idea what someone went through that day, it might not even be something personal to the officer. Quite literally the only person in that interaction that is EXPECTED to be polite regardless, is the officer, and to hear that you might get a harsher ticket or a ticket at all, because of the officers perceived idea of your “ attitude”? That’s wild. Be better Anyways LOVE THE PODCAST IAN XOXOX
1 gun fight and all this happens to you? You better thank the gods you were not with us in Ramadi We got in 3 or 4 a night .Men these days are soft .SEMPER FI
The game of catch and release is crazy right now in Burlington Vermont. People are getting arrested for big crimes just to be released hours later back into the streets to repeat or do worse.
This guy used to break my balls by writing all of my customers tickets on Atlantic Ave. Him and his buddies would pull up and talk shit about parking on the sidewalk but in Brooklyn there is no place to park. Cool to see a familiar face on RUclips. Shout out to him from Touch of Glass 2732 Atlantic Ave 😂😂
His analogy of the boat worker was the worst thing I've ever heard. You can be a good police officer by helping tons of people and arresting any true criminals without there being a quota for arrests and tickets.
Steve…… nice job on this podcast, you seem like a real, down to Earth, hot shit with a pissa personality. Rarity nowadays…….that said, you blast good Karma and in return you’ll be the recipient of it 10 Fold. Enjoy your Retirement Brutha, you’re ACES in my eyes. ✌️💪
The tree is psychological. It is motherly presence and the sun is your father. The house is how you see yourself. The water is your dreams. The snake is the danger. It’s a test.
Obesity is why I’m not a cop. I took the test, passed it. They keep emailing me twice a year to see if I am still interested in joining and it’s been 7 years since I took the test.
Swap that intro to “you’re locked in, with Ian Bick” and it’s gold.
It's kinda already in the channel name 😅
I agree, quicker and snappier.
The money shot
I agree
I was thinking same thing
Your delivery makes a listener interested which is a heck of a skill.
Thanks man🙏

As a member of the nypd for over 27 years fantastic interview. Glad to hear you are doing well.
Put your papers in bro. Get the hell off that job and go live your retirement life. I did.
Tells about corruption ?
The greatest benefit is the pension. Pull the pin 🧷 and start collecting yours. I’m out 31 years.
It all depends on what you do... You can retire and leave the job or you can "retire" and sit at a desk at 1 collecting and still taking a paycheck.
@@krisone63 That’s still work. You have to get up, get dressed, and drive to work. Then you have to drive back home. That’s not retired.

Best they can be is neutral unless they are constantly calling out their department which will get them fired because ACAB.
My dad was a retired captain from a small town. He always was on point with his uniform, hair, etc. he would shine his shoes a couple times a week, he was always put together.
43:01 asked if it killed his career dreams come on he was happy that he's out and his dream was to be OUT you can see it in his talk
Dude, great channel. Keep it up
Humble af, "to carry around a Detective shield, who cares".
cop describes fellow officer's corruption, then says he never saw corruption lol
Great interview. Spot on.
My Father was on the job in the 50’ 60’ and 70’s NYPD DET. LT. Of both narcotics and homicide units in the 4-1 the old Fort Apatche.. ya wanna hear insane stories?? This guy’s story are marshmallows
You were a civilian while wearing the badge my guy. Good interview
What a great gueast! Please have him back again! You are a great interviewer! 😊
OUTSTANDING questions!!!!!!
I wish you would've ask him... what's the starting pay for a police officer
@40:22….18” in a pistol duel missed ya by a mile, brother!! Making your ear bleed woulda been a close call! Lol.
Ian , this one helped me so Much !!!
I think this police officer seems to be a very likable officer
He has some crazy scary stuff happen
Amazing story. Nypd have to take some notes from this guy . Enjoy your retirement brother
36:03 did he just call us stupid 😂
28:47 judge's need to have more sympathy for the real victims than the one's of the criminal. So because she "couldn't conceive" he gets lowered. Yet the actual victim's daughter will NEVER see her father again forever.
Great interview 💪🏽💪🏽
53:50 don't let it slip under the radar here that he's talking about police corruption.
He's 100% a beneficiary of it and he was probably giving them free drinks in exchange for that information
Damn that’s too damn early to be gettin shot at. Fuck. I like to normally at least wait til after lunch.
My thoughts exactly 🤣 if I was listening he mentioned he was wanting breakfast first too, like geez let me get my donuts before shooting
@@myrandapistokache6653 hell yeah. I’m ok with getting shot at after breakfast and coffee but fuck man what kind of animals shoot at you before you’ve had time for that lol
That's funny, my wife and I met on Plenty Of Fish ten years ago lol
🐮 say Moo, 🐶 say woof, 🐷 say so to speak
My cousin worked at 75.. the motto was "give us 22 minutes we'll give you a homicide":
Great episode, love seeing the other sides perspective as someone who is working on becoming a officer.
"You can get back uo" Bull droppings. They destroy lives.
This guy says the 2 things of a liar... To b honest with you... And honest to God...
Lost me at 21:20ish.. smh this guy wants us to believe he worked for 16 years on the NYPD and never saw a corruption? That's bullish*t. Plain and Simple I'd say it to his face if he was standing in front of me.
💯 agreed
Great interview.
“He’s crushed I can see his skull”
Ian: did he die? What the fuck do you think
Absolutely fantastic interview and I'd like to add your crazy if you don't get therapy if you need help if you break your arm you go to the hospital to get it fix sometimes people need to talk to fix there thoughts
Thank you sir🙏
im retired nypd this guy is what we called a buff. a true believer . i avoided these guys like the plague 🤣
Dude was an inspiration Ian, thanks for asking all the right questions bro 👊 WR
My husband was called at 3 a.m. for his first union job for 7 a.m.. Crazy.
Good episode
53:20 that percentage is certainly lower in the DOT
This was a good one.
So- hear me out. I hear “if you’re polite to me I’ll give you a warning, if you’re rolling your eyes I’ll hit you hard”- but what in the world lol. In no way should a community member be expected to act completely respectful with officers. The driver may have had a difficult interaction with officers previously- allow them to feel that. Especially today, it is more than fair for the community to be a bit uptight during traffic stops. Do you know what doesn’t help the community regain trust in police? Getting a ticket when you should be getting a warning because you didn’t make the officer feel real nice about himself. You have no idea what someone went through that day, it might not even be something personal to the officer. Quite literally the only person in that interaction that is EXPECTED to be polite regardless, is the officer, and to hear that you might get a harsher ticket or a ticket at all, because of the officers perceived idea of your “ attitude”? That’s wild. Be better
Anyways LOVE THE PODCAST IAN XOXOX
34:20 Ian you shouldve asked about box head “Maegan Hall”
Great interview
I have Steve’s back 1000 percent.active cop.and never ever did anything corrupt.
Great dude over all..........
Great story
Great show🎉
1 gun fight and all this happens to you? You better thank the gods you were not with us in Ramadi We got in 3 or 4 a night .Men these days are soft .SEMPER FI
That school shooter didn’t come off remorseful at all. It was 10 minutes of crocodile tears before I couldn’t stand it and turned it off.
He's a good COP🙏🏼
Marines or soldiers can’t just retire after a gun fight.
Think about that…
No disrespect Officer- never been in a gun fight.
The game of catch and release is crazy right now in Burlington Vermont. People are getting arrested for big crimes just to be released hours later back into the streets to repeat or do worse.
Another great interview….
NYPD can learn a lot from Parris Island, Semper Fi
This guy used to break my balls by writing all of my customers tickets on Atlantic Ave. Him and his buddies would pull up and talk shit about parking on the sidewalk but in Brooklyn there is no place to park. Cool to see a familiar face on RUclips. Shout out to him from Touch of Glass 2732 Atlantic Ave 😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂. WRONG COP , Cool story though. I never worked in the precinct that covers your store.
Way to plug your business though by LYING ✌️
"i'll never foget"', classic New Yooorker
Wow this guy is great. U need to have more police officers in yr show. We get to see there side of things.
"So to speak" o-meter 100000000000
You’re the real one for counting 😂😂😂😂😂
His analogy of the boat worker was the worst thing I've ever heard. You can be a good police officer by helping tons of people and arresting any true criminals without there being a quota for arrests and tickets.
Steve…… nice job on this podcast, you seem like a real, down to Earth, hot shit with a pissa personality. Rarity nowadays…….that said, you blast good Karma and in return you’ll be the recipient of it 10 Fold. Enjoy your Retirement Brutha, you’re ACES in my eyes. ✌️💪
The tree is psychological. It is motherly presence and the sun is your father. The house is how you see yourself. The water is your dreams. The snake is the danger. It’s a test.
The New Year’s Eve story was nice
Obesity is why I’m not a cop. I took the test, passed it. They keep emailing me twice a year to see if I am still interested in joining and it’s been 7 years since I took the test.
Absolutely remember this too shall pass
No timestamps? Smh. Fix it!
Worst of the worst, don’t wanna run into this guy in uniform
