Police Officer Becomes FBI Leader: 36 Years Behind the Badge 56:34

From beat cop to FBI leadership - Louis Quijas made history as the first police officer to become FBI Assistant Director without coming up through federal ranks. This unprecedented 36-year law enforcement career spanning Kansas City Police Department, High Point Police Chief, and FBI leadership reveals how one officer changed federal law enforcement forever. After 9/11, FBI Director Mueller personally selected Quijas to revolutionize FBI-local police relations. Working four doors down from the Director, he transformed the Bureau from a reactive agency to a prevention-focused force, building partnerships with 800,000 local officers nationwide. His innovative approaches, including the nationally-adopted "High Point Initiative," proved that community-driven policing works better than federal mandates.…

Police Reversal: From Defund to Refund - America Backs Blue 55:31

Citizens Behind the Badge founders Craig Floyd, Dennis Collins, and Bill Erfurth reveal how their 5-year mission transformed the national conversation from "defund" to "refund" law enforcement. After cities slashed hundreds of millions from police budgets following 2020, the devastating consequences became undeniable: homicides surged 30%, officers fled the profession, and response times skyrocketed. But the pendulum has swung back hard. Minneapolis restored every dollar of their $8 million police cuts. A 53% drop in officer line-of-duty deaths proves increased public compliance. Senate resolutions now celebrate law enforcement instead of condemning it. The hosts expose how media lies about "systemic racism" crumbled against cold statistics: 99% of 62 million annual police interactions involve zero misconduct. KEY MOMENTS: 2:24 - The moment defund movement triggered CBB's creation 13:17 - How cities went from cutting to restoring police funding 33:53 - ICE agents under attack: 700% assault increase 42:16 - Proof the pro-police culture shift is saving lives 49:05 - The statistical demolition of anti-police narratives Join the movement at CitizensBehindtheBadge.org and help continue America's return to law and order. #PoliceReversal #DefundToRefund #BackTheBlue #LawAndOrder #PoliceSupport #CitizensBehindTheBadge #LawEnforcement…

"When you're fighting for your life, anything and everything is an option." - Ed Mireles In the conclusion of the most harrowing survival story in law enforcement history, FBI Special Agent Ed Mireles accomplished the impossible - ending the Miami firefight with a one-handed shotgun technique that defied all odds and saved countless lives. This is Part 2 of Ed's incredible journey on April 11, 1986. Shot twice, arm nearly severed, and bleeding out on the pavement, Ed experienced what he calls a "God-sent miracle" - the sudden realization that he could use a car bumper to steady his shotgun. What followed was five impossible shots, racking the weapon one-handed between his legs while fighting unconsciousness. His "this is survivable" mindset and divine intervention ended the deadliest shootout in FBI history. Ed's recovery was equally miraculous. Doctors initially planned amputation, but intact arteries allowed arm reconstruction. Despite 50% disability, Ed served 25 more years, driven by his belief that law enforcement officers are society's shield against evil. His story transformed policing nationwide, leading to better weapons and training. Most importantly, Ed honors fallen agents Ben Grogan and Jerry Dove - the true heroes who gave their lives that day. Key Timestamps: 1:30 - The miraculous one-handed shotgun technique 5:35 - "I had a conversation with God" 7:43 - Five impossible shots that ended it all 9:19 - Medical miracle and arm reconstruction 12:19 - Why he returned to serve 25 more years Honor our law enforcement heroes at CitizensBehindTheBadge.org.

"When you're fighting for your life, anything and everything is an option." - Ed Mireles, FBI Agent (Rtd.) On April 11, 1986, FBI Special Agent Ed Mireles faced the most violent confrontation in Bureau history during the Miami firefight that would forever change how law enforcement officers are armed and trained. This is Part 1 of Ed's incredible story - from tracking the mysterious "Unknown Gang" of bank robbers through South Florida to the moment when everything went wrong. Two former 101st Airborne soldiers, Michael Platt and William Matix, had terrorized the region with military precision, killing every witness until one man survived to tell their story. When FBI agents finally located them on that fateful Friday morning, a routine surveillance turned into a deadly chase through Miami neighborhoods. Armed only with six-shot revolvers and shotguns, eight FBI agents confronted two heavily-armed, military-trained killers in what became known as the bloodiest day in FBI history. Ed's story reveals the shocking disparity in firepower, the split-second decisions that determined life and death, and the moment when he took two devastating hits but refused to give up. "This is survivable," he told himself as bullets flew overhead - a mindset that would prove prophetic. Key Timestamps: 8:45 - The Unknown Gang's reign of terror 23:08 - Spotting the stolen Monte Carlo 25:26 - The high-speed chase begins 32:51 - Outgunned: six-shot revolvers vs. military weapons 45:35 - Ed's "this is survivable" moment 51:40 - Setting up the impossible survival story Don't miss Part 2 to discover how Ed survived the impossible and ended the deadliest firefight in FBI history.

Police Department Abandoned Decorated Officer After Stroke - His Response Saved 15,000 34:35

After surviving five gunfights that should have killed him, decorated Lieutenant Randy Sutton faced his most devastating battle - against his own police department. In Part 1, we heard Randy cheat death repeatedly during his legendary career. Part 2 reveals how a stroke on duty exposed the shocking truth about how police departments really treat their heroes. At 2:30 AM on the Las Vegas Strip, Randy's medical emergency should have been the moment his department rallied around their most decorated veteran. Instead, it became the moment they revealed their true nature. "This isn't personal, it's just business," his sheriff told him while denying medical benefits. The department spent taxpayer money in court, hoping Randy would die before winning his legal battle. This betrayal wasn't unique - it was systemic. Wounded officers across America began reaching out to Randy, sharing identical stories of abandonment. Randy's response transformed American law enforcement forever. From his hospital bed, he built Wounded Blue into the largest support network for injured officers in the nation. The organization now operates a 24/7 crisis hotline (833-TWB-TALK) and has helped over 15,000 abandoned officers reclaim their lives, careers, and dignity. "They were hoping that I would die in the meantime. If you think that your own department wishes you would die, it's devastating." - Lt. Randy Sutton Randy survived bullets meant to kill him, only to discover the real enemy was wearing the same uniform.

Police Officer Survived 5 Shootouts in 34-Year Career: The Randy Sutton Story 26:44

vor 7 weeks26:44

26:44

Lieutenant Randy Sutton survived five officer-involved shootings during his 34-year career - a statistical impossibility that would change the trajectory of American law enforcement forever. This decorated Las Vegas Metro Police veteran represents the 27% of officers who actually fire their weapon in the line of duty, but his story goes far beyond statistics. From leaving small-town Princeton for Vegas action to going gun barrel-to-gun barrel with an active shooter, Randy's career reads like fiction - except every bullet, every decision, every survival was devastatingly real. His most harrowing gunfight reveals the brutal truth about police work: when his weapon jammed mid-battle and the suspect kept firing, Randy learned what it feels like to face death with nowhere to run. The aftermath required 43 rounds to stop one suspect - a reality that destroys Hollywood myths about "one shot stops." In this episode: Randy's transition from small-town Princeton to Las Vegas Metro Police The statistical reality: only 27% of officers ever fire their weapon Gun barrel-to-gun barrel survival story with active shooter Why 43 rounds were needed to stop one suspect How today's anti-police climate would destroy yesterday's heroes The "journey of why" - Randy's belief he survived for a purpose Key Quotes: "If that happened today, and I'm screaming 'die, motherf***** die' as I'm pumping bullets into a guy, where am I gonna be? I'm gonna be crucified." - Lt.

But here's what makes Randy's story prophetic: his justified actions that night, including words spoken in combat stress, would "crucify" any officer in today's anti-police climate. His survival story isn't just about the past - it's a warning about how far we've fallen in supporting those who protect us. "If that happened today, and I'm screaming 'die, motherf***** die' as I'm pumping bullets into a guy, where am I gonna be? I'm gonna be crucified." - Lt. Randy Sutton This is Part 1 of Randy's incredible journey. Part 2 reveals how his own department's betrayal led him to save 15,000 officers nationwide.
