Jeff Knice was the leader of the Montgomery County Maryland Police Department SWAT team and talks about the initial calls that came in on the first sniper victims.

October, there was a bright sunny day. I remember. And 737 that morning in Rockville, Maryland, James said you can is mowing the lawn near a car dealership when we shot and killed.

I believe he was 39 years old at the time and that became very personal for all of the Montgomery County because he was the son of a Montgomery County police officer, retired officer.

So then shortly thereafter that 812 AM, a cab driver 54 years old by the last name of Walker, he is shot and killed in Asman Hill at a gas station.

This actually makes things very problematic for us because we're here shot is 400 yards from the Gate of Heaven Cemetery.

At that moment in time, a funeral procession is around the Gate of Heaven Cemetery to bury a Montgomery County police officer.

And then one of her other agents was wounded and a task force officer was wounded. So we don't have a whole lot more to report on that other than it was just one of those episodes.

You can't control the timing. It just sucks. Right. Just a perfect example of what American law enforcement faces every single day.

Yeah, these guys, but we do know is that they were trafficking quantity of marijuana. And like you said Steve, one of them was wanted for murder.

So yeah, it's bad day. Bad day. But hey, let's have a good day. So let's have a good episode this time. This one is actually going to be very interesting. But before we get into it, let's talk a lot just to put some quick housekeeping.

That was a blast. I love it. That was good stuff. And some of the questions that are asked are really good ones. Tough ones, you know, current state of policing in America. What do we think?

Why is it that we didn't have psychological testing when Murphy and I first started in law enforcement? We may not have been able to get hired.

I had to find a whole different career. Yeah, you could have gone back to the flooring business, you know, with your family and stuff. Oh, no, I hated that.
