Summary
In this episode of Things Police See, host Steve Gould sits down with Chad Jensen, a 25-year veteran of the Pomona Police Department and former SWAT team member. Chad shares harrowing stories from the front lines of Southern California law enforcement, including a high-stakes pursuit involving a Tech 9 submachine gun and a life-altering foot pursuit where a suspect would have killed Chad if his gun hadn't misfired.
The conversation takes a deep dive into the most terrifying chapter of Chad's life: being indicted by the FBI following a use-of-force incident at the LA County Fair. Chad pulls back the curtain on the federal justice system, discussing the "Barbie FBI agents," the grueling reality of being chained in federal lockup, and the million-dollar legal battle to clear his name.
Discover the truth behind the headlines, the importance of the Legal Defense Fund (LDF), and why Chad authored his new book, Badge Under Fire: A Fight for the Truth.
