 | Lost generations |
 My job usually takes me to the worst ghetto neighborhoods of my town. When I am there I can't help but be amazed at how some people live and act. We execute raids on houses and within minutes there are dozens of folks standing out in the street rubbernecking. These are grown ass men and women who should be at work at 10AM on a Tuesday but seem to have nothing better to do that hang out at my crime scene.
You would think that these crowds would be happy that we are actively clearing out drug houses. Nope. Instead they like to stand around and yell out helpful comments like:

| CopCAST Episode 85 - Excessive Sound Effects |
 In the words of Mick Jagger, "Too much is never enough." OK, so we went a little overboard with the sound effects but therein lies the danger of giving little boys fancy toys. However our legion of listeners really came through for us by sending in some great local stories and our CopCAST correspondents searched the web to find some great news reports.
CNN never covers the really interesting stories like the robber who locked his keys in his get away car so we do. Most of us like to go on a department sponsored road trip every now and then. However, one Kentucky sheriff may have carried it a little far on a recent extradition. I apologize in advance but you know we were going to have to talk about the recent Big Foot finding. Like they say,"There is a sucker born every minute." We also tell you about a new program that provides e-mail for inmate. It actually is not as bad as it sounds. These are just a few of the stories we discuss this week.

| Details paint picture of botched ATV heist |
 The victim of a serious gunshot wound - and with the shooter still standing in front of her - Jessica Craig begged not for her own life but for his. Scott Knox was no longer aiming his gun at her or at Christopher Johnston behind her. He was aiming it at himself.
Early Saturday morning, Knox and another man apparently were in the midst of attempting to steal all-terrain vehicles from a barn not far from Craig's Plank Road home in East Mead Township. The ATV noise had awakened Craig, and she approached Knox outside her home, police said.
According to police reports, he pulled a gun and shot Craig. The bullet struck her wrist then grazed her side, said Crawford County Coroner Patrick McHenry.

I received this question in my post The debate rages on:
"Hypothetically I am pulled over for something and I am carrying my unloaded gun in a lock case which is in the trunk. Does the officer who stops me need to know that? I figure I wouldn't volunteer the information unless he asked, but is it better for me to say I have it up front?"

| Score another win for the good guys |
Man it's just been a good couple of days for truth and justice. I'm sure many of you remember the incident in TX where a homeowner say his neighbor's house being broken into by some scum. This guy calls 911 and when the police were too slow getting there, decided to stop them himself.
Long story short, he ends up shooting and killing the two career criminals. All the predictable cries of outrage came from the anti-gun folks. Race-baiters came out and condemned him as well.

| CopCAST Episode 84 - No Starbucks For You! |
Our legion of listeners really came through for us this week. We kick things off with some great feedback from both new and veteran CopCAST listeners. If that was not good enough, our CopCAST correspondent corps continues to grow and they are providing us with some great fodder for the show
This week a Chicago cop gets the distinction of serving as our keynote story because of her passion for Starbucks coffee and pastries. A Maryland agency has a major "Oh, crap" moment when they raid the mayor's house and shoot his dogs. Will New York soon be more wired than London? You be the judge. Then there is the Longmont Pornography Age Verification Unit that is not - or something like that. Sound interesting? Well that is just a brief peek into this week's episode.

| One dead, one wounded after ATV heist leads to shoot-out |
EAST MEAD and RANDOLPH TOWNSHIPS - An apparent theft of several all-terrain vehicles went awry early Saturday morning, leading to a shoot-out and the eventual death of one of the suspects.
And a woman who happened to be where the theft was in progress was shot and seriously injured.
Scott Edward Knox of Guys Mills fled the shoot-out scene before taking his own life, police said; and Jessica Craig, who had confronted Knox outside her home, is recovering from a gunshot wound at Erie's Hamot Hospital.

| Meadville says goodbye to former Chief of Police |
The flag over Meadville's City Building was lowered to half mast Monday and will remain in that position until Sept. 4 - marking one day for each year of former Chief of Police Robert J. Mullen's service to the department.
Mullen died Friday, Aug. 8, in Florida. His wife, Beverly, preceded him in death by approximately two weeks.
"He was a happy-go-lucky, comical type of guy who could be stern when he had to be," recalled the department's current chief, Dave Stefanucci, who joined the force during Mullen's days as a lieutenant.

| CopCAST Episode 83 - Goodbye Scotty |
In honor of Scotty, this episode blasts off and boldly goes where no podcast has gone before. Well that may be a little over-dramatic but it is a pretty good show. We did a heck of lot better job than those guys who were supposed to send Scotty's ashes into space.
We start out with a ten year old crime fighter who dimed out his mom. The OPP are considering starting a used car business with all of their confiscated vehicles. Our sympathies go out to the friends and family of Deputy Juan Escalante of the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department who was shot to death outside his home. There will be no more peeing on the doors in Torquay, Devon. A judge has ordered that a Glasgow pensioner stop going to the pub as punishment for killing his wife. We actually have proof that the 80/20 rule applies to law enforcement. And these are just a few of the stories we discuss this week.

| CopCAST Episode 82 - The Three Stooges |
The CopCAST crew had gotten larger! No, I'm not talking about Mack's increased waist size after his three week vacation. Morgan Wright, from The Thin Blue Line, has joined crew as a regular host (although some would say "irregular"). We hope that our legion of listeners will have fun listening to the new expanded CopCAST crew.
Believe it or not, we actually received several e-mails from our listeners (happy, happy, happy - joy, joy joy!). This week it was the bad guy who got surprised in Surprise, AZ. Some cops in North Carolina used text messages to turn the table on a juvenile thief. Some German women mistook the real cops for costumed strippers. We also point you to one Website where you can find the deadliest rural highways and another site that is really "Cuil". Have a business to advertise? Why not sponsor a video camera - just like NASCAR?
