#146 Blake Cook - America's Scapegoats: The 365-Day Service That Never Stops

and there's a little hiccup in what they're doing, they're thrown to the wolves, and their families have to suffer because it comes out of a paycheck. That's bullshit. If you get an officer-involved shooting, they put your ass in a closet.

Nobody checks on you. They put you in the worst job possible. Man, things need to be done better. People need to speak up. You know how you change this, Sean? Fucking officers need to step up and speak up. Because as a unit, as a whole, they can get some stuff done. You might be scared alone, but man, form you a group and make sure that that bad leader gets out of there. Or you walk out.

Because they want that bad leader or they want to lose 100 people. I tried to bring this to Gina Hawkins' attention. She called me when she found out I was leaving. Begged me to come in for an interview the day after. She said, please come in. We don't want you to leave. I said, Chief, I'm out. I'm like, your leadership is fucking horrible. The people we have under you, horrible.

She said, still come in and talk to me. Come on, Blake. I said, all right, I'll give you an exit interview. I came in there, I sat down, started telling her issues. She didn't want to hear it, man. She didn't want to hear it. She took up for every one of those dudes. I said, that's the problem. That's why I'm leaving. I said, you don't even know it yet, but you're about to have a mass exit.

Like, it's crazy. The riots? Why would anybody want to be a cop after the riots? The city we lived in, they were burning them all down. Our SWAT team was riding around in unmarked cars and it looked like, what's the movie where they have like 24 hours to kill people? You know what I'm talking about? Oh, what is that movie?

No, no. They have 24 hours to kill people. It's legal. All crime is legal for 24 hours. Can't think of the name. If I wasn't on here, I'd spell it off. But man, That's what it was like. People doing donuts in the middle of major intersections, shooting guns in the air. People shooting glass out of convenience stores. Raiding Walmart, shooting guns.

Employees in Walmart calling for help because they can't leave. That is a hostage rescue at this point. They're being held there by gunfire. We're not entering Walmart. We advised them they needed to shut down. What? We got to do something. Like Academy Sports, Fayetteville. It took us two years, a year to recover from what happened there.
