because as soon as you bank the corner, you've got drug addicts yelling, Agua, Agua, to tell the dealers,

and they would be gone by the time you got there. So we had all sorts of creative ways that we got

into there. At one point, we commandeered a horse trailer, loaded the whole tactical team into a horse

trailer, put Abraham, who was one of the task force guys, as the driver wearing a rasta wig,

and cranking the reggae mused up, and drove into the neighborhood and got right up in front of the drug turf in the back of that trailer opens up and 30 of us jump out and hit the warrant. But at this point, with the takedown, we didn't care. We were going to take over the whole neighborhood. So we had vehicles at every one of the entrances.

We set them up first, and then we had a row of God, what was our caravan?

Probably.

Staparade, Mason's St.

I mean, yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah. Welcome back to the follow-up section of last week's episode.

And you know, I usually don't do four episodes, but these guys, we've got some

many stories.

And just before we started this recording, they're like, listen, we've got to stay on topics today because we've got a bunch of stories to tell you, and that's what we want to do. So I'm not going to waste your time. I do want to welcome you back to the Game of Crimes with Murph in the morning for this week's episode, episodes three and four. Thank you for coming back and thank you for continuing to support us.

Now, last week on Tuesday, when we finished up that episode, we were talking to Rick about a shooting he was involved with.

And you were with DEA at that time or Pittsburgh PD, Rick?

Right.

That was my first studio position with DEA when the actually two shootings happened back-to-back

year in the first two years I was on the job. Mr. Bullet Magnet, I understand. The old gypsy curse when I was in the incubator in the hospital. I don't know what happened, but yeah, it was a bit mad, mad moment for the first couple years of the job. And by the way, what's your middle name again? My middle name is, it's not trouble. It's Norman. I got, so I got the cool, I got the cool Mungo's Viking name, R-I-K-K in the beginning. And then Rambo at the end, in the middle I got Norman. So it evens itself out. You know what? And I just got you mixed up with somebody I was, another guest on the show whose middle name is Murphy. And I was getting ready to say, that's just Murphy's law. All right. So you said that the shooting went well. You were not injured. And it was a clean shooting. No problems, right? Right. And I can just go ahead and just say both generically for both. Both shootings were really, really good. The first one, the guy pulled a barretta on me during an arrest i had a shotgun with deer slugs and that was the end of that and then the second shooting was an eye the minute we hit a door on a search warrant the gunfight was on i took a 357 magnum round of the chest trapnel in the face i had an m4 full auto I returned fire with the M4 Fawato and that was the end of that gunfight as well.

But I think Rapinal in the face. I had an M4 Fawato. I returned fire with the M4 Fawato and that was the end of that gunfight as well. But in the aftermath, treated very, very well. First shooting was investigated by Yakima Police Department because it happened within Yakima. The second shooting occurred on an Indian reservation and that was investigated by the FBI, its primary investigation. But they asked the questions that they needed to ask. But DEA, very, very professional, the way that we were, the entire shooting team was treated, unbelievable. And he knows as a young cop, when you're told that you're going to have a psychologist come speak with you. As a young cop, I mean, I think a lot of people, speaking for a lot of people I know, It of people i know it's like oh here we go you know because we were good with it these guys were really bad guys they were going to kill us they had weapons they were going for the gold and whatever and psychologically not being macho never had a problem with the shootings i didn't lose an hour of sleep none of it it seemed like that I'd trained for, and that's what we do for a living or whatever.

And when they tell you a psychologist is going to come and, you know, giving you talking to, it's like, oh, your picture in like Freud, you know, lab coach sitting next to you on like a little dais or whatever they call that that you're laying on. And they ask you about your mom and your relationships with, you know, that. And it wasn't anything like that.

This psychologist, that's all that they do.
