0:00.0 | Hello everyone and welcome to police off the cuff, real crime stories. |
0:13.1 | I'm your host, retired NYPD sergeant Bill Cannon, a 27-year veteran of the NYPD. |
0:19.6 | You know, folks, the story that is really all over the news, |
0:25.2 | you bombarded it 24-7, of course, is the Israeli Hamas conflict in Gaza, and of course the horrific |
0:36.4 | attacks that occurred on October 7th. |
0:40.2 | Everyone has been sort of waiting impatiently or patiently, whichever might be your point of |
0:47.3 | view, for the ground war to begin. |
0:51.5 | And there are probably many reasons why it hasn't begun yet. The most important one |

2:10.1 | So with that in mind, we are, again, patiently or impatiently, whichever your point of view is awaiting this ground |
2:20.2 | war to begin. |
2:21.8 | And the images from it, of course, are horrific. |
2:25.3 | Some of the things we've been seeing on the news are just heinous. |
2:29.7 | And this is the image that I always comes into my mind when I think of October 7th and how scary it must have been for those people at the music festival. |
