It kills me how outraged the government acted over Gallagher’s photo when DEA Agent Steven Murphy posing next to Pablo Escobar’s corpse is this quasi-iconic picture.
As my granny used to say “Better to photobomb a dead Haji, than a haji suicidebomb you”
😂😂😂
Yeah. It’s interesting how you can find pics from every war of soldiers posing with corpses or skulls and no one has ever been charged until Gallagher.
Damn hajis
Atf at waco
Great point. Politics. Like Eddie said, the politics of the day was to "protect the brand" so the Admiral threw him under the bus.
As a Marine vet, happy to hear Marine vets stepped up and vouched for him, Marines will always have a respect for Corpsman that roll alongside us.
Good stuff man. Thank you for your service. No cowardice with the Marine Corp.
SFMF
They let a murderer go loose.

Glad to see Eddie Gallagher on the podcast! I’m a Marine, OIF 06… glad the Marines saw thru the bs and found this man to be innocent… he gave so much for this country… it’s all unbelievable. Good for you Eddie! God bless!
Body cams on soldiers, no. Body cams on politicians, oh hell yeah brother.
I can get behind that!
%100... also, police!
Brent that was hilarious. "Power Bars: You weren't working out. You didn't need them. You're at the front line." LOL.
The Marines on the jury " So hes a Doc?" Prosecutor " Yes he ki....." Marines" Innocent."
You agree with that?
So because he’s a doc screw all the evidence?
Exactly He was a STA doc I'm more impressed by that and the fact he went to the real sniper school. Eddie is a Savage , Hell im old too we may even know each other or people.
@@ericlori8231 so you are actually that stupid that you don’t think he is mortal and can without a doubt do a lot wrong? You can’t be that stupid surely not?
@@OG-Ghost33 Before you go all keyboard warrior on me just know you have no idea what i am saying here. You would have to be a 0311.
Anybody can yell "police"
Then why TF would that moron answer the door?
Exactly. I open carry on my property, but I also don't have a reason for cops to show up. Plus my property is gated, with a phone number to contact for appointment.
Then don't answer the door
People are not taking into consideration the fact that, people are pretending to be cops everyday at someone's door to get them to open the door to rob them. The cop stood off to the side of the door, as is procedure, to avoid getting shot through the door. However, it makes it hard to determine if it's a real cop through the peephole. The airman answered the door with the gun down by his side and his support hand up, as in a "Stop, I'm not a threat motion." The cop didn't give him time to put the gun down. He drew his gun, yelling "put the gun down", and started shooting as soon as he got his gun to a high ready position. That cop was a fairly quick draw and drew his gun, yelled "drop the gun" and shot the guy in a little over second or so. If the airman had another half of a second to process, he most likely would have set the gun down. If the airman started to raise the gun, there would be no question in it being a "good shoot". All 3 of you know how long it takes a trained person to process and react. That airman was in the air force and not a PJ or Combat Controller. I can't say for sure, but I'd imagine, his OODA loop wasn't as fast as the cops. But, thats a "hine sight" issue. Theres no way for the cop to know his level of training. If the airman was intending to shoot that cop, he would have most likely raised his gun faster than the cop could complete his OODA loop and get shots off. Due to the fact the cop would be reacting to the airmans action and the airman would have made the determination to shoot prior to opening the door or as he was opening it. And at that distance the airman probably would have gotten shots off before the cop, even if he was untrained. The difference between an attacker and a victim, is the mental state in which they enter the fight. The attacker knows he's going to attack. The victim has to recognize and react, or Observe, Orient, Decide and Act. The highest trained people in the world still take almost a second. And average trained people take around 1.5 seconds. All that being said. As long as the cop followed department procedure and actually felt in fear for his safety, he should NOT be charged. You also have to take his previous experience into consideration, for him being in fear for his life. And no agencies should settle prior to criminal proceedings, it gives the criminal jury the message that the cop did something wrong. And if there's no charges because the cop acted in policy, they should NEVER settle. It sends the wrong message to people. It tells criminals families, even if the cop was in the right, we can still sew and "get paid". If the cop is within policy, the agency should fight it, even it is more expensive than settling it. It sends the message, "you won't get paid if you are in the wrong."
This is awesome y’all have him on here in person!
Swear man, I literally thought a few weeks ago. I wonder when Eddie will be on here. 😂
Legit my favorite show right now
I am a retired 20 year Cop they are all wrong. It is this simple, you can't just shoot somebody who has a gun in their hand or on their person. If Cops could just shoot people who had a gun, then every second amendment auditor could be shot on sight as soon as the Cops arrive on scene. Same thing goes with states where there is a deer hunting season. This podcast group would say "well that is a legal activity with a firearm" but using their view a Cop could say "well how was I supposed to know the hunter was not aiming at a someone somewhere in the woods I could not see" and shoot the hunter. It is simply illegal to just shoot somebody who has a firearm. The person with a firearm has to pose a threat of great bodily harm or death. So what is a Cop supposed to do when they see someone with a gun? Take cover (which the Cop did not, was poorly positioned which indicates bad training IMO) and call the person out of their home with their hands up (this is basic policing procedures, Cop should already have their firearm drawn at low ready) until more officers arrive on scene (again basic policing procedures call for more than one officer for a domestic incident). Cops should never assume someone heard the Cop due to hearing impairment, load equipment running ETC. Then deal with the incident from a tactical advantage as the incident unfolds. This is a bad shoot and the Cop should be charged IMO but I do believe there is a strong chance a jury will find the Cop NOT guilty IMO. The group also seems to forget criminals will often get into people's homes by saying they are the Police.
You and I are respectful people, apparently I’m to close to Gen X cause a gun that is not pointed at me doesn’t scare me.
Especially when I have a weapon.
In this instance, it was “shoot first and give commands later.” Whatever happened to yelling “Drop the gun” beforehand?
@@tomwilson1006 Don't drop if it's a Sig. Lol. You'll surely be shot by super scared cop, when it goes off. smh
Yeah this is actual insanity. They should probably take down this podcast because they're quite literally advocating for something BLATANTLY illegal. Like its black and white. Everything they said is so wildly wrong and illegal its insane. They should just move the fucking China if they want to be shot on sight for merely holding a weapon.
Holy shit, why can't all cops think like you? It's too bad your generation has retired.
You should have David Philipps on who wrote the book about Eddie and who Eddie is unsuccessfully trying to sue for defamation. Philipps backs it all up with evidence. Really shines a light on who Eddie really is.
No Dave doesn’t back up every accusation. I read his book. He tells one side of the story. The side of the accusers. Dave was not there. He also doesn’t write about the huge discrepancies in the accusers stories, or how they changed their story so many times. Dave was the one the prosecution leaked info to before the trial.
@@Getbaddudes But Eddie doesn't address anything in the book. He doesn't deny the existence of those text messages. He doesn't deny the story about getting his EOD guy shot. A whole book was written about Eddie with his face on the cover, and he can't refute anything in that book. No one corroborates Eddie's story. What Dave Philipps wrote is corroborated by a lot of people and it's backed up by the NY Times who Eddie is suing using Tim Parlatore, a "stop the steal" attorney who also represented Bernie Kerek, another "stop the steal" guy, and Shawn Ryan, another conspiracy theorist and "stop the steal" proponent. There's just no credibility on Eddie's side of the argument but there's a lot of credibility in Dave Philipps reporting. Philipps has zero issue bashing bad leadership in the military and standing up for veterans who are maligned and railroaded. Eddie wants you to think that this big machine is picking on the little guy but that's not true.
@@Getbaddudes That "side" is the correct one. This podcast has already mocked the idea of "you weren't there" in other episodes.
@@sknight874Lol, how sure are you that the accusers version is the correct one? More people on their team defended Gallagher, than accused him. Plus, no evidence points to him doing it and lots of evidence points to him not stabbing the terrorist.
I read that book. It sounds like Dave had an axe to grind.
This was an episode I didn’t expect to happen here. Good job getting Eddie on to speak about his story. with all the SEAL drama going on I believe I have some more clarity.
As a Veteran this crap that Eddie had to go through is more than frustrating. I do think WE need to begin to distinguish between Leader and boss. Leaders are loyal, care about their people “all of them”, and are truthful WITH EVERYTHING. Bosses are in it for what is best for them. I think ensuring we make this distinction in our speech is vital and will help the average human to better understand situations like this where the bosses had a job to do and it had nothing to do with the truth or caring for their people. Great podcast. Thanks for sharing.
Eddie is awful though. He used one of his own men to get Tramadol brought up from Mexico from the guys family. He struck a student at training. A subordinate. He attacked a gate guard in San Diego. Why do you admire this guy?
According to the footage I saw, the shooting is unjustified and the cop should be prosecuted and decision left to jury. You can’t shoot someone with a weapon unless there is a threat to life and in the footage the weapon was not pointed at the officer nor was there a threatening action observed in my mind.
I can knock on any door and say police, doesn't mean I'm a cop
So, what would you do if i knocked on your door, you answer with your firearm in your holster and see me standing there with a gun in my hand? *And i sound angry when i give you my name and say I'm your neighbor.
@@reginaldrutherford6468I’m looking out the peephole first. Didn’t buy a big wide view peephole for nothin lol if not, the cameras..
im about to unsubscribe to them (i know they dont care), but this is the most braindead take ive ever seen in my life. Theres not a single PD in this country that authorizes deadly force because someone is merely holding their 2nd amendment right in their hands. There is NOTHING illegal about answering the door with a gun. WHat theyre trying to argue is that 'well it would probably scare the cops so you shouldnt do it"... well guess what, the cops needs to grow a fucking pair of balls then. Because you cant just shoot someone because youre scared of guns. Also, that "cop" that came to his door at night couldve been a home invader and his wife wouldve been taken forcibly after he had a piece of lead put into his skull. I cant believe I just heard a 'tier 1 operator' say he answers his door without visual ID off of a fucking 'POLICE' call. Thats literally the MO for home invaders. What a fucking dumbass.
@@goinhot9133ye, I’m checking yo ass on iPhone before I get off my ass.
Yeah and you could also just not beat your wife and avoid LEOs showing up
> Makes multiple episodes about SEAL war crimes and lies where Gallagher gets mentioned multiple times.
> Brings in Gallagher and glazes him the entire time.
What are you doing bro? Who's paying you off all of a sudden?
Haha I have never mentioned ellie Gallagher in a negative light in any prior episodes. Rob Oniel yes, Marcus Lutrell yes, y they both lied about how doing amazing things things that didn’t happen… Eddie was accused of “war crimes” he literally the exact opposite of those guys. They said they did something for fame and Eddie is saying I didn’t do that. Couldn’t be any more opposite. Please tell me the episode and time I ever said anything bad about Eddie.
Hell yes !!! These episodes get better and better
Gotta say, this has become of my fav podcasts. The prank story that Eddie told at the end had me balling LMAO 🤣
They glanced over the fact that people have been getting burgled by answering the door for “police”
Love your show guys! Thank you!
I hope yall fixed the sound for Spotify. Some reason I have to turn up volume, at times, with your show compared to other podcast. Either way. Great to see that you brought Eddie on.
Easily my favorite episode next to the O'Neil controversy. Eddie is a stud and a hell of a leader! It's a damn shame the Navy tried to ruin his life because he was doing his job killing terrorists. Super proud of yin'z guys covering topics that definitely need more spotlight on! Hell even his wife Andrea is a stud too! She stuck by his side through everything. Good on the Marine admitting that he himself was the one who ended the terrorists life and Trump for letting Eddie keep his Trident. awesome work fellas
I mean he was hoarding Powerbars 😂
That guy was lying to cover for Gallagher lmao
Pretty good seeing Eddie again, thanks for having him on guys.
"The Court then outlined a non-exhaustive list of factors to determine when an officer's use of force is objectively reasonable: "the severity of the crime at issue," "whether the suspect poses an immediate threat to the safety of the officers or others," and "whether he is actively resisting arrest or attempting to evade arrest by flight.""
Semper Fi Boys !!! Glad to see Eddie on the podcast !!!
I don't care if you yell "police" ten times. It's not against the law to hold a weapon inside your own home. You can't have it both ways. Either we are ALL armed or no one is. This is why I never answer my front door. Ever. I just talk through my front camera.
Exactly. Not to mention there was no domestic violence going on. They seem to want to push the idea that he was being violent or something. He was probably confused and likely didn't hear police
Dude if you actually listened to Kyle, he actually agrees with you. And you’re right, it’s not against the law. But when you put a cop in that situation, you needlessly escalate it and you force the cop into a binary choice: allow himself to wait and potentially be shot or eliminate the threat. It’s not illegal to swim with sharks, should you swim with sharks? Roll the dice and take your chances bucko
Great show, guys 🇬🇧
With every new episode, this podcast is showing that they're here for the truth and only truth. Hope you succussed here fellas.
Thank you! You are correct.
The real MVP here is Eddie's wife. I just retired from the Army Guard. I have 4 combat tours and can tell you this, that woman is a rare breed. I've heard his story before, and no matter how many times it never makes it easy to listen to. How can our own handle someone who gave so much. The dude said 9 deployments, and they're not conducting presence patrols. It's a whole other thing. God bless him and his family. Enjoy your retirement boss! 🇺🇸
Good content guys..
Everyone should watch the documentary “the line” which is about Eddie and his team. It gives the other sides explanation as well. Lots of things Eddie left out here
Yup. He almost got one of his guys killed by going out where he wasn’t supposed to
Dude literally texted his buddy saying he stabbed him but than says “it was just a joke” 😂. That documentary lays everything out perfectly. A lot of what Eddie is saying is misinformation
@@Tom_CicconeThat “documentary” edited it to persuade you. Also, how come there was zero blood in the after pics, anywhere on Eddie. While testifying on the stand, Craig Miller said blood gushed out like baby vomit. That means, Eddie’s gloves and knife would be covered in it. So would their terrorist’s tank top strap.
Yet, no blood anywhere.
@Tom_Ciccone yeah I'm surprised these guys are siding with him, considering how much they tailed against O'Neil and Luttrell etc.
@@Tom_Cicconeyeah they dumped all his electronics for the trial, if the navy didn’t royally fuck up the trial by being incredibly shady he might have actually faced some consequences
they just had Eric Deming on and i thought he made a comment about Gallagher being one of the bad ones, was surprised to then see Gallagher on here
So glad he's getting out there telling his story. Great book. Great dude all around. His wife is a beast.
Thank you Sirs!
Proud to have supported these guys as a DUSTOFF pilot in 16/17. One night at Blackbeard, working with these guys in training, one of the senior guys informed me he had completed BUDS only a few years before. I was surprised at how junior everyone was.
The 18D course is currently being run by a MARSOC Corpsman who was in Mosul. He loaded a Raider onto my aircraft after a head shot against ISIS.
Heading over to give some cash to Rocko now, thanks for the heads up guys. Eddie, I saw your story on the Shawn Ryan Show and read your book, glad you came out the other side ok. And you're right about jurisdictions throwing guys under the bus for anything. Until recently I was the Chief for a small town pd. Worked there nearly 9 years with 4 other years with another department. Multiple awards and was recognized for excellence by two different mayor's. I resigned due to lack of resources and the stress that came with it. The acting Chief and Town Manager asked I stay on part time to assist with training, admin, and mental health transports. Because I made a Facebook post letting my friends know what was going on where the only negative thing I said was the mayor and town council usually had different goals and it was hard to appease everyone they denied the offer for me to stay part time at entry level patrolman pay because their feelings got hurt. Now the department and tax payers have an even more depleted department because of hurt feelings. The department I worked at before that had an ois where the officer shot a guy high on meth that tried to run him over with a car after shooting at his girlfriend. The officer got charged and the city manager and city attorney made a statement saying they wouldn't tolerate his actions. He was found not guilty by a jury in 45 minutes.
Holy shit! 4:11am Arizona time and this drops 10 minutes ago. Well, I know what I'm doing for the next 2 hours. Fk YES!
MERICA!
35:00 The MARSOC guy in charge of things in Mosul frequently shows up on the Team House podcast. He mentioned getting in trouble in Mosul for providing British and French special forces with positions of operations (to prevent confliction) because they were not meant to be joint operations.
Who is it?
Sad man. More loyalty in my infantry platoon than this seal platoon.
😆
I was gonna say the same thing. I'd take the 19 and 20 year old grunts then these big headed drama queens (not talking about the anti-hero boys) anyday of the week.
Or maybe he committed cold blooded murder and got away with it.
@@TheSakufighterthe terrorist was dying already. The Iraqis brought him to the Seals to attempt to save his life so they could then take the terrorist back, torture and then kill him. Eddie was not responsible for his death but another Seal, knowing he wouldn’t make it, put him out of his misery.
@@TheSakufighter...or you should do more research because the information is available.
Great podcast! 💯
That cop didnt annouce himself for almost a full minute, he beat on the door at least twice before he finally announced himself, the Airman kept his gun pointing down and even put up his left hand up palm out singling the cop to hold up, check out the video if you dont believe me,plus being a cop in the south he should have trained for that scenario, almost everyone is armed and the chance of someone answering the door armed is likely to happen one day, that cop should never be allowed to be a cop ever again, probably charged criminally and the departments training gone thru with a fine tooth comb and then get out their check book and pay the Airmans family.
thank you for your service
Great show boys!!!!
Best military podcast on the intewebz.
Great podcast and show!! Much respect to Eddie and all he went through. Semper Fi!! God Bless Him and his family!!
In 2017 the Seals were medal chasing hard core. Advise and assist done correctly shouldn't put you within small arms range. Guys were bored and hunting for their last chance to be heroes and it put a lot of people in danger. The Seals got kicked out of I think it was Tikrit by their partner forces and had to retrograde to Al Asad to be in time out. There's a fine line between taking initiative and going against the strategic plan. And far too often Special Ops can play the "I'm cooler than you so I must be right" card. The Iraqis were supposed to be doing the fighting at the time. If they took too long so be it, it was their war to fight. But that's not fast enough for guys on a 6 month count down timer who want their shot at glory.
They were constantly submitting dumb missions, faking the funk in the planning phases to get conops approved at lower levels that were impressed they had the privilege of working with Seals. You want a good podcast topic talk about how many good men are dead because ultimately they had crappy conops. Tongo Tongo anyone? These plans would be poorly made but everyone in theater nutted their pants cause they came from Special Ops. You'd read these things thinking you're going to learn how the best in the business plan a mission only to think you found the returned homework of an ROTC student. I don't say this to sound like a staff wienie scoffing at the wrong font. But when the contingencies are mitigated by "don't worry about it we're Seals" it's embarrassing. Like you said Special Ops are better because they are masters of the basics, not just from pushups and budget.
I'm glad he's not in prison and didn't have his money and trident taken. He's lucky the trial was a sham and he got out but his treatment was disgusting. But he'll be the example in the UCMJ classes for the next twenty years right next to the Abu Gheaib pictures. Not taking any pictures used to be the standard in Special Ops but not posing with dead combatants was the standard for everyone since basic training. Again masters of the basics. How a whole team thought this was a good idea says a lot about the team and the leadership environment. I don't know what the repercussions should be for a dumb picture but that happened. Sorry if I don't want to attend a parade for his "innocence."
Are you even in the military? Let alone speical operations? Exactly 🤣. You CANT talk shit. You have nothing to back it up except these guys who were there. So shut up and enjoy your freedom
I just watched the bodycam footage, the cop walks up and puts his ear to the door and hears nothing, no yelling no signs of a DV. He then knocks and doesn't announce himself while moving out of the way of the peephole. then when he hears someone at the door he knocks and announces twice while still hiding from the peephole. Then when the door opens within 3 seconds (I counted) he pops out from out of view and says step back and draws and fires.
Great podcast! Glad Eddie made it out of that hell hole! Great commrodarry amongst the guys really awesome to see!
Oh fuck, yeah! Y’all do this to me every week. I have to go work all day, but it does give me something to look very forward to. May this show is awesome.
I remember when all this was in the news, and the circus it turned into. I also read Eddie’s book, and every time I hear it I feel sick to my stomach. This dude is a hero. Gave his life to the navy, and they repay that dedication by trying to fuck him over by giving him life in prison. The government entities that were in charge of this shit should be drawn and quartered
Ok Brent, I take back my previous Deion Sanders heckle… This one got me back on board! 😂
Haha YES!
He looks like chuck norris 😂😂😂
Swear to god I was thinking the same thing
Yes and he sounds like him.
I think the cop yelled sheriff 1 time
NEVER open the door when the say "The Police/Sheriff" WITHOUT asking "How many?"
Ohhhh boyyy.
Just started this where’s my popcorn
Being in a leadership role on lower levels (I’ll equate Eddies position in the seal teams as being a lead in civilian terms) from my experience means your job is to find the perfect balance of keeping your guys happy and both your manager at the same time. It’s mostly impossible as the boss always wants more work done and the guys don’t want to feel slave driven. It’s a hard place to be because if the guys turn on you your boss will blame you and replace you and if you don’t drive the guys they look at you as weak and they can do your job better than you and that also gets you replaced. In eddies case the stakes are so high you can face life in prison if the boys turn on you instead of being fired . That’s so crazy ass pressure to have to deal with.
The way they did Eddie was so messed up. Glad he got off and is free now
This happened to one of my best friends in Arizona in may of 21. The cop got off. His name was Ryan Whittaker, there is body cam footage and everything. It’s sad that it happened to someone else.
Did the airman do anything legally wrong? No. Did the cop kill him? Yes.
Cops have a hard job. One I don't desire, but when you sign up for that job you are assuming a certain amount of risk in order to be able to serve the community.
The cop doesn't get a pass just because he is "keyed up".
Anyone could knock at my door and yell "sheriff's department". That phrase does not take away my right to self protection.
I am sure the cop did not want to kill this man for no reason, but due to circumstances he did, and he is guilty of murder.
It is a sad circumstance, but police are not above the law.
The cop is not above the law. There is a standard of case law for him that is different than you. It is a very hard job that many including yourself state they do not want. We as a society don't want to go to our neighbors house who is potentially in a domestic. That dude has to go and therefore has a standard of reasonability that is different than others. It is well within his rights to answer the door with a weapon. Do most people answer a door with a handgun, no. He made a choice, a choice that unfortunately has consequences. I know we as a society don't like consequences, but there it sits. There a great many things you can do, but it is entirely different if you should. Totality of circumstances my friend. The good news I have for you is this all may become a moot issue in the future. Most police agencies are collapsing currently due to lack of people that are willing to do this type of thing. Everybody wants a group of people to, "assume a standard of risk" for them and go to the screaming match and play mother may I with the dude at the door with the gun because that reasonable to them. Society is executing their right as well and voting with their feet and not signing on to meet your reasonable standard. So people can go investigate their neighbors potential violent domestic and we can see how much better and more reasonably constitutional they handle the situation.
@@andyfrist1957 That might be the crux of my issue. I just fundamentally disagree with the idea that the rules change because of the profession you choose. We as a society decided what the rules should be, then we created a group that doesn't have to follow them to the same degree. I have signed my name on the dotted line knowing that I was incurring extra risk for the profession that I chose. I did not expect special treatment because of my job.
The cop puts his ear to the door when he walks up and it is straight silent on the bodycam too, and then hides from the peephole after not even announcing himself when he does knock
@blackandy973 cops do that alot I have had cops put their finger on the peep hole then they stand to the side of the door. but come on you don't just shoot someone because they have a gun.
New to the channel, excellent episode.
Thanks! Truly appreciate the comment and for watching
A cop should not be allowed to shoot someone with a gun that is not pointed at them or not being aggressively brandished.
"It is what it is. We did that!" Love this guy!
Respectfully completely disagree. 1) this was not actually DV call it was a noise complaint by a fellow neighbor who then called a property manager. 2)The property manager called the police and when the police arrived she never used the word violence or anything about witnessing violence from Robert currently or in the past she only complained about it being noisy from his apartment sometimes. 3) Robert was FaceTiming with his girlfriend if he was in the back of his apartment it's possible all he heard was the knocking and got startled and grabbed his pistol 4) by the time Robert made it to the door unfortunately the deputy had walked away so Robert attempted to look out of his peep hole while holding his gun. 5) once he realized it was the sheriff's office he respectfully opened the door confused since he knew he was doing nothing wrong 6) Robert put his empty hand up to signal to the Deputy to pause for a second so he could explain. 7) cowardly Deputy scared of his shadow shoots him.
You sure know a lot about what Robert was doing and thinking. Did you talk to Robert in your dreams recently?
@@1988Wolverineshis girlfriend heard him get killed. He was still on FaceTime with her.
@@justincredubil where has his girlfriend said Robert went to the peep hole to look while holding his gun, where did she say he opened the door all confused because he know he did nothing wrong? Did she know Robert put his hand up to signal to the deputy to pause for a second? Crazy talk, grasping at straws. It can be a justified shooting and a tragic mistake at the same time. He knew it was the police and answered the door with a handgun, not the smartest. Wish it would have turned out differently.
Respectfully: problem with #5) Any sensible human being would know answering the door for law enforcement with a fkng firearm carries with it a considerably high risk of undesirable results. Note: Exhibit A)
Exhibit A) Dead guy with a gun.
@meganostra6633 I agree but remember this guy isn't your typical Thug he was an upstanding young man with no criminal record who put his life on the line to help our country. when he finally did see the deputy he thought of him as a friendly. it happened so quickly he thought he was possibly going to have to defend himself and then all the sudden a fellow blue and he was confused. If this officer would have taken 30 seconds to run his name on the way over this whole thing probably could have been avoided. Our country is great with our Second Amendment if you're too scared as an officer that you're going to shoot anyone that has a weapon then it's time to turn in your badge and your gun. He had plenty of time to make the shot if he would have raised his weapon.
The person who admitted to covering the breathing tube brings to mind a certain psychological condition where individuals cause emergencies, only to then present themselves as heroes for dealing with the situation they created. Thanks, Brent and Tyler, for your insights. Eddie, you are a much stronger-minded person than I will ever be.
Well done fellas.
I was scared you guys were turning your sights on going after eddie like you did Rob and Marcus - Eddie is a real one, im glad you had him on your podcast
Cause we’re not anti SEAL, we just don’t like liars… and I’ve always said how much I respect SEALs and a few bad apples don’t speak for all of them… proud to have had the chance to hang out with Eddie, he is a great guy!
Damn this was a good episode
Damn good to see Chief Gallagher on this Podcast. With all the recent episodes covering the controversies with the SEAL Teams, I was wondering if y’all were going to address the Chief’s. I’m glad to see he’s one of the buds and not one of the duds. Merica
People make accusations and form opinions with no context, we are NOT anti SEAL we are just pro truth! It was an honor to have this navy SEAL and American hero on.
The body camera question is always interesting to me because I used to install the equipment in emergency vehicles that triggered them. I really do feel like they are better for everyone involved that they are on, but it's really up to the agency on how they use them for their agenda.
It's my opinion that the people who don't want them are the people that have something to hide. It benefits everyone involved to have an accurate record of every interaction unless you're doing something wrong.
Nobody the deputy spoke to gave him first hand information, and the deputy's callout was unintelligible. He should be charged, full stop.
The reasonable person standard doesn't apply to the victim.
Our ROE in Iraq is more stringent than here in the US. Guns are associated with criminality in America unfortunately and gives cops permission to shoot. It’s also because cops don’t ever want civilians on equal footing. It is what it is. If you’re scared and trigger happy, maybe policing isn’t a job for you. End qualified immunity. If you’re not a sociopath or psychopath you should be just fine. 😉
I commented the same thing in a different way and this channel deleted it haha
I basically said how insane it is that we have much more respect humanity and dignity for so called enemy's in a combat zone than we do here in America for our very own fellow citizens. 90% of these cop shootings if you were to place that same scenario in afghanistan or Iraq the cop is going to jail and is charged and easily convicted of murder
BRO PLEASE COLLAB WITH MIKE RITLAND. yall have the best questions man its seriously awesome. good job guys keep it up.if you ever need a helper/do boy id love to be apart of what yall have going on man
I was kind of shocked when he said Jason Gardner was his CMC and told him to confess. I’ve seen a few podcasts with Jason Gardner, and he didn’t come off as someone like that. I guess you never really know…. Great podcast, gentleman!!
🇺🇸💪🏿💪🏾💪💪🏼🇺🇸
Excellent episode. I’m around 1/3rd through Alpha, I think it’s heading for the bin tonight
Eddie is the Man !! Only the best wishes for him.
The biggest issue was not announcing during the first knock. In the video he knocks the first time and hides to the side so he has an escape route. But he didn’t announce himself. The second and third time he did but he gave no commands when the door was open other than back up, and then shot. Sure he has it in his hand when he answered the door but there was never any attempt to give commands to drop the weapon or anything. Just 10 seconds and that Airman is dead. Probably a bad shooting and I think it’s okay to say that. Even if he did some things correct, the mistakes cost a civilian (not even cuz the dude was military but essentially civilian in this moment when being contacted by deputies. This piggybacks on to that shooting in Texas when those two female officers shot that woman in her own home that was broken in to. She was defending her own home and was killed. Bad shootings happen and by glossing over it and invoking George Floyd doesn’t help prevent bad shootings or look into what went wrong to prevent them in the future. Accountability is needed in these cases.
God bless Eddie! Thanks for comin and spreadin the truth. Thank u for your service
Good fight DOC!!! Unbelievable what they did to you!!! Semper Fi
Often in the same AOR with you guys as a US Army Artillery Mechanic. _I really appreciate all the hard work of these Kinetic Professionals here._ *
You gotta fire your camera guy... great audio content. Video Quality is unsat.*
Thanks to you all and your tight shot groups 20 years ago for the use of my functional arms and legs over the 1,408 nights of hazardous duty paid GWOT Deployments. Never forget them M.E.U's, too, MarSoc boys go hard.
🇺🇸 Y'all are different animals. 😂
Eddie was a Devil Doc before he was a SEAL. We take care of our own. It makes me feel great that it was my brothers that saw through the bullshit and acquitted him.
I cannot believe so many of Eddie’s brothers tried to burn him and so many others stood by and watched it. It seems that the SEAL teams are a wreck!
It’s not at all just the SEALS. It’s mankind in general
The one thing a lot of civilians don’t take into account in regards to military matters is rank which is your pay grade. If you do something that bucks the system and risk losing your rank then you will suffer financially and many of these guys have wives kids etc and at the end of the day it’s easy to say do the right thing but when doing the right thing makes your entire family suffer then that’s how you get what happened to Gallagher and many many many others you have never heard about. I’ve seen similar scenarios play out in the regular army numerous times. It’s not a democracy in the military
I thought was an actual Marine prior to Navy.. what you’re saying makes more sense though
They're not a wreck, Eddie is a wreck. Jury was not allowed to hear evidence about the drug abuse, Eddies history of violence against subordinates and security, or the incident when he went off mission and got his EOD guy shot and then covered it up. Then his wife goes on Fox and calls it a "millennial mutiny." He smeared active duty guys to save himself. He's terrible.
Gotta say the irony is not lost on me when you have an intro of antibbig pharma to start pushing pharma straight after XD😊
Cool that the marines came through for him.
Eddie is the type you look at his eyes and instantly know how smart he probably is. Like staring through you look
Fully engaged
@@Gatsquatch.300 But he seems humble enough not to be braggadocious about his intelligence, his career accomplishments or his non-profit. I respect that his non-profit is helping military service members and/or law enforcement personnel who are being charged for either doing their job and correctly or being falsely accused all together. It's highly respectable for one to reach out and help the men and women that are getting shunned by their own supposed 'brothers and sisters' in uniform. The second reason I find his and his wife's non-profit so highly respectable is that he along with his family took his and his family's nightmare of a situation and they collectively turned it into a positive by helping others that are found themselves in the same kind of situation. It has to feel like you're in the Twilight zone being prosecuted for what you were not only trained to do but told to execute to perfection at the highest level and best quality in the world and was told it was all part of your job description. I mean come on we have to do better by our United States Military Men and Women, that means currently serving or veterans. They are the best for a reason and we (Well we as citizens haven't but our government sure has.), have let them down on several occasions. Our government cares about their own behinds, how they look to the masses for votes and money. I say we go back to caring for the ones who signed on the dotted line to go fight and protect this country with up to and including their lives. Personally I care more about someone in our military way before I would any politician, besides that I'd rather my money go toward helping our US Military, whether currently serving or veterans, over a politician any day.
@@amandacantrell1146 yeah exactly like he’s a perfect example of how the media can make you look one way. But all it takes is one tiny little instant of meeting the guy and you see how much bullshit all that was. Very cool organization… I may need that shit one day lol
@1:05:00 mark, when the Chief characterize his actions with a (allegedly mortally-wounded) enemy combatant as “we were doing a live tissue lab” - he seems to be admitting to an egregious moral failing. And the fact he can’t bring himself to present as ‘we were gonna do everything we could to try and save his life, while improving the performance capabilities of our medical team’ seems to indicate he knew exactly what he was doing. It looks really bad…
Bodycams in the military could serve as a valuable tool in conducting after action reviews and identifying and improving tactics. However, if they were ever used judicially or leaked to media then they could prove a hindrance.
They wore them and had them in when Eddie began treating the ISIS terrorist.
Always on Eddie's side since i had seen this on the news back when , but i just herd some details i had never herd before on other podcasts ... whhhoaa😮
My opinion on law enforcement officers. They are not drafted. Period! They seek out the job. Who is “schooling” them about what the job consists of? What are they trained in when attending the academy? Before they get the job, they must raise their right hand and swear an oath. Their very integrity is this oath. Do they know the constitution? Or, is it just a “I must raise my hand and repeat some words to achieve my goal?” The job requires transparency, hard stop, period! A human with integrity would never think twice about wearing a body cam. So what if you are speaking to your wife, on camera, and expressing your desire to munch her box. You’re on the clock and the people are paying your salary. You should only be worried about “bad” acts on your behalf. If you don’t want transparency, quit law enforcement and become a monk!
police officers are not required to know the law for their job and police officers do not have a legal duty to protect the public
it’s not a training issue
@@smrtnik4313 Obviously! The United States Supreme Court spells it out for anyone to read and understand.
It absolutely is a training issue as budgets increase, do-dads, and wiz-bangs become the assets and not officers trained to the standards of a licensed hair dresser. Some agencies require merely 400 hours of training to become a sworn officer at their agencies. If it’s not a training issue then why would other agencies require more? Humans are humans! They do not differ depending on on where they reside on a map. You don’t believe that a human that is ASKED to swear an oath of allegiance to the constitution should be required to understand the content of the document? They should just get a pass? It’s the basic, God givens rights of all men. Not just Americans. Yet, if I understand your message, it’s not a lack of training? Please expound on your opinion.
@@edwinjohnson257 i think we agree, at least mostly, my point was just that firearms training and deescalation training etc isn’t going to fix what amounts to a design flaw- if the police don’t have a duty to protect the public and have a siege mentality then they won’t protect the public and will always end up doing things like gleefully bash an unarmed teenage girl’s teeth in (Boston 2020)
you can chip away at it by doing things like eliminating no-knock warrants but if they’re not actually tasked with serving the people then it’s not going to happen
@@smrtnik4313 We do agree and that is good in my opinion. I see that the population at large have the belief that police or any Leo’s are on the job to protect them as in when it matters during the incident. So many believe that law enforcement officers jobs are to take a bullet for them. I am in my mid 60’s and have seen law enforcement change so much. I now live in the country where la w enforcement is done by the population. Don’t get me wrong as there is the sheriff and highway patrol but it is generally understood here that Deputies or Troopers always arrive after any danger just due to distance or because they are attending another call. I wholeheartedly believe that abolishing Qualified Immunity and a change in training reflecting the personal responsibility incurred from a round fired.(financial, criminal, emotional, ptsd etc.) The job can be dangerous! That is why I believe in training that is designed to weed out non hackers. I see QA as a license to kill ,amongst other judicial evils, and the perception that officers are more important than the public hence the “mantra” (it seems so) of “blah blah blah blah OFFICER SAFETY!” I believe that the result will be officers that think critically and thoroughly especially when the unexpected becomes reality
Thank you for the conversation. Your views are enlightening, intelligent and thought provoking in my opinion and I thank you and wish your journey to be all you put into it!”
I was in Iraq 16 to 17 at Q West as an Army cook, the SEALs used to come get food from us and I'd line it all up for them. In the early days of them coming to pick up chow, a dude that looked an awful lot like Eddie chewed my ass for not making the call instantly on what food to give them hahaah
He answered the door with a gun but it was not in a threatening manner which he can. It's only law enforcement once you see a badge and the officer identifies themselves and states their purpose there. You have home invaders knocking on door and yelling police all the time.
@1:16:30 mark, the Chief confirms that Corey Scott confessed to murdering the ISIS kid…& did so because he was granted total immunity by the JAG. Okay, BUT aren’t those immunity deals predicated on being 100% truthful with JAG? So, since Scott had apparently lied about his involvement, and was actually the SEAL who ended the life of the wounded ISIS kid - why hasn’t his deal been quashed and he been prosecuted for the war crime? Has the admitted murderer Scott been shunned by NSW and deemed Persona Non Grata at the Command?
Good man Eddie ☘️
Yes, the cop announced himself, but anyone can say they are a cop. The cop was not visible through the peephole, so that likely spooked the occupant. I think that deserves a discussion.
If there is anyone who needs to wear a BODYCAM it’s the Senate and House.
Back pats for everyone❤
Dude Brent…. I had two cups of the 50% more caffeine blend yesterday…. Woah dude. Lmfao I could SEEE EVERYTHING. Just want to reiterate my new favorite coffee but fuuuuck dude now I know what a delta force guy means when he says “this coffee gets me going”. “Going” for you has gotta be like Indy car speeds lolol. And now, I’ma buy a shirt lol
💥 🚽
Good. I couldn't imagine your team turning on you. Like they did. Glad everything has gotten squared away 🤙🤙🇺🇸🇺🇸
I'm a Marine that also saw behind the curtain. The Corps sent me to Afghanistan in 2010 with a rare 15 pound cancer tumor. I did the entire deployment with it barely able to walk. Came home, they found it sent me to NYC for treatment for a year. had chemo and half my pelvis amputated. Then i got melanoma then I got kidney disease. Corps tried to kick me out without retirement. A colonel told me to kill myself and do him and the world a favor. I'm one of the toughest MFer's you'll meet. Glad it worked out for Eddie. That was some malarky. I donated to his foundation. They (the govt) did Stu Scheller dirty too.
Were they incompetent calling EOD ? To me it seems like they were creating scenarios that look bad on paper to use against Eddie Gallagher.
I went through something very similar with a P.D. I fought back on some trumped up ADMIN charges....I was found not guilty by PD board members....who were replaced by the chief for finding in my favor, when I showed up back to work in uniform, having been cleared, I was told to report to the quartermaster's office to refill vending machines at the PD.....THEY WILL GET THEIR POUND OF FLESH. However, I ended up loving the gig on dayshift with weekends and holidays off, which pissed them off even more...LOL.
