Summary

Join bestselling author Eric Tansey as he sits down with Eli Donker, a former U.S. Army Captain and Indiana State Heavyweight MMA Champion, to unpack the realities of police use of force. Eli shares insights from his time training soldiers in hand-to-hand combat and how those same principles now help law enforcement officers (LEOs) safely control violent encounters. In this episode, we break down real-world cases, examine when officers are legally justified in using force, and discuss how proper training saves lives—both for officers and the public. Whether you’re a police officer, martial artist, or true crime fan interested in police tactics, this is a must-watch. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
