This criminal action in DC has to stop.  History will not be kind to this date in history.

Sometimes the victims of murders are respectful and likeable.  But they are in the underworld where evil lurks.  Valon Broadus was one of those victims.

Community and Cops have to have a meaningful understanding about their respective positions.  If not we are doomed.

This episode shows why we have to move fast to solve them before the shooter/killer can disappear.  Also in 2016 the public shows the contempt for law enforcement and a brief look at stuff we carry to assist us when we chase killers.

Your car is just stuff and be a good dad.  To understand listen to the episode.

"Educate the public sure,  but the profession needs to provide answers."

The police profession has to buy into intelligence based policing.  Tulsa solved a murder by being willing to talk and share information within squads.  It's is not rocket science.

The best and the brightest on each side of the police community divide better get busy.  Find a workable solution or at least define what specific problem needs to be addressed.

Criminals do not want killers around.  Just ask the ones in prison.  Call the cops and let them know before the cops start out about your illegal activity.

The objective of a murder investigation is to get the suspect and witnesses quickly.  The suspect makes and the witnesses are more likely to talk.  This case is solved by the patrol officers getting to work quickly.

On July 4th 2020 in Atlanta Georgia an 8 year old child is shot and killed while riding with her family in a car.  On May 29th, 2014 April Montano, 14 years old, is shot and killed riding in the family pick up truck.  Hard to find hope yet, we do.

In this episode several teaching moments but the hurt is when a five year old and an infant witness a double murder.  More than the were taking a ride to sell dope and not buy ice cream.

The title refers to Jackie Robinson taking Negro out of the baseball equation.  Society has to learn from this and judge people on their actions.

The First 48 first episode in Tulsa and thoughts on the advantage of having the show  in Tulsa.

This episode shows how hatred fuels irrational behavior.  So many opportunities for intervention before another murder occurs.  Law enforcement's dilemma is to predict and protect the public without intruding on the publics right to freedom.

The Good Friday 2012 killings put Tulsa in the spot light for race based killings of three citizens.  Tulsa is in the history books for the 1921 Race Massacre and now for the 2012 Good Friday Murders.  Wish it was the last time the national media descended on Tulsa.

In this episode learn what ICA means to me.  When faced with an issue that is large, like the Pandemic, a reassuring hand will guide us through.  Not always a leader, not always something you can see.  Stay safe the calm is on the way.

Deals happen in all parts of town, streets, shops and parking lots not always in seedy dens of inequity.  Sometimes on video and sometimes murders occur.  Not all killers get life in prison but society must get the players attention.

A casual conversation over three years later brings up names associated with several murders in Tulsa. Listen and take a peak at metours Facebook page for the tip sheets associated to this case.

Murders are related and the piece to solve the case lies in the community.  Law enforcement are willing to march into hell for the community, but we need to know where to march.  This case is an example of how it works.
