Summary

Former police officer and best-selling author of PIG LATIN Eric Tansey breaks down newly released bodycam and dash cam footage from a harrowing Memorial Day traffic stop in Bloomfield, New Mexico. What began as a routine stop over a broken headlight tragically escalated into the fatal shooting of Officer Timothy Ontiveros by Dennis Armenta. In this episode, Eric Tansey examines: Let's talk about the critical moments leading up to the shooting-- a non compliant suspect, patience by the officers, and finally fire and the split-second decision to return fire. The broader lessons about officer safety, tactical decision-making, and the impact of mental health issues in violent encounters. Tansey shares his unique perspective as both a former cop and author, offering insights into the stress, decision-making, and emotions officers experience during life-or-death situations. 🔴 Order PIG LATIN: A SERIOUSLY FUNNY TRUE STORY by ERIC TANSEY https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Pig-Latin/Eric-Tansey/9781668114292 🔴 Order A MURDER ON CAMPUS by CAMERON SANTANA https://www.amazon.com/MURDER-CAMPUS-Professor-Carolinas-Notorious/dp/1964730287/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0 🔴 MERCH https://my-store-108c6f6.creator-spring.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.
