Dr. Judge says no bueno. Hey everybody, I'm David Ridings and we are live on Facebook policing the police. We're also live on drjudge.radio on Facebook and on YouTube at youtube.com/drjudge. Dr. Judge is just short for DR Judge. DR is David Ridings. I'm not Well, I guess I kind of am a doctor since I'm doctorate of jurisprudence somebody told me the other day, but I'm not really a doctor. But I am Dr. Judge and I am running for judge in Nashville. And we did this show live a few minutes ago and I had to redo the show because the sound again was terrible. If my sound is terrible, if if it sounds like it's coming from up here, it's wrong. And it should be coming from this microphone. And when I mute it like this, so if you heard me then, that was no bueno. Um wife says sound is fine. That's good. My producer from another room upstairs. Uh which is awesome because the last time it was it was not fine. It was no bueno. All right, so here we go. We're going to jump into this. Uh-oh. And now I'm Now I'm listening to myself I'm watching myself as I'm videoing myself. Right, live here. Recorded here. Anyway, helps me. Cuz I don't have a producer, okay? I am the producer. Dr. Judge is the host and the producer and the editor and the writer. And I just, you know, Anyway, here we go. This first video, we like to shine a light on things that cops do that, you know, we just hat tip to this guy. Um It's difficult being a police officer. And you don't know when somebody's going to just bow up on you. And before you know it, you're in a fight, not a fight, but you're carrying a firearm. You're carrying a firearm. And so you're always in a fight for your life. You're always in a fight that could end up in you losing your life. If If the person that's fighting you wraps his arms around you and all goes, "Oh, hey, there's a There's a gun." And gets a hold of it. Listen, I've been in fights like that. I've been in a fight where that's a 17-year-old girl grabbed my gun while it was in the holster. Didn't get it out cuz it was in a security holster. Um That's a story for another day. Worst fight Worst fight I ever got in was with two girls. Not going to lie. So, um let's watch this video. This first video is uh just how quickly it can go bad um with this with the police officer here. So, the sound is just music. So, I'm going to turn that down. He's going to arrest him. You can clearly see the guy starts scooting sideways and he bows up on him. And then here we go. We're in a fight for our life. And they're on the ground and the cop almost has him and then loses his footing just a little bit and then gets put on his on his rear. And then he's It's hard for him to recover. Now the guy's like, "Uh well, do I really want to fight him?" And I really just I hate Well, I hate doing it at the same time I do it. Um, watch this video when the police officer decides he's going to go after him and try to keep him from fleeing the scene in the car. Uh, and I'm going to stop it and tell you when uh, he makes his the biggest mistake that he makes. And so the cops here, they they square off. They're like, "Okay, what are we going to do? We're going to fight." The guy's like, he's trying to get away. The cop's trying to just put him in custody. And so every time you're in a fight as a police officer, it's it's not like you're in a fight to see who wins the fight. You're in the fight to get this person handcuffed. That's very very difficult to do when the person doesn't want to be handcuffed. So, it's not just like you're I mean, I used to I used to fight in martial arts and I've, you know, not saying that in a bragadocious way, but it's different when you're in the ring, even in an amateur kickboxing fight, it's different because you're in there to fight. And the guy's fight but that guy, you're just trying to get him in the custody. You're not really trying to fight him. You're just trying to get him pinned down long enough for you to get his arms behind his back and handcuffed. And he's just trying to get away. So, um, I mean, cut that little microphone off. See? That's what happens when you produce your own shows. But you can see right here, um, when the guy decides he's going to run and jump in the car, the cop's like, "Ah, crap." And this is his first mistake. You you don't go around the the front of the car. Don't go around the front of the car. Look how close this cop comes to getting uh, run over. Cuz if you go around the front of the car, if this guy is a split second faster, and he's fast, he got in there, and you can see the reverse lights come on. That means he's shifted into gear, right here. And he's in gear. Ready to go forward, and look where the cop is. And this would be a training video in a in a law enforcement training academy class. Don't run around the front of a car. If you're trying to stop him from getting in the car, run around the back. Follow him. Follow him directly the way he goes. Cuz you've put yourself at a really Even right here, he's almost around the front. If the guy hits the gas right here, he loses a leg, very easily. Um or at a minimum rolls up over the hood and busts his head. So, um it's just not a good tactic. So, the guy doesn't pull off. You can see this white truck. There's his ticket book falling off the off the rear. You can see this white truck up there backing up. He's actually, um there to help. Sees the cop in trouble, and decides he's going to help the police officer. So, hat tip to the guy in the white truck. Don't know his name, but he did ultimately lead to the capture of that guy by following uh the car as it pulled off. The next video I'm going to show you is um takes me a minute to switch videos. So, bear with me. Also, um if you're new to the show, you can comment on the show. We'll put your comment on the show. Uh keep going, man. I'm one You're a one-man show.

Uh um next video is uh You know, we like to shine a light on the good things that cops do, but we also shine a light on the bad things that the cops do. So, watch this news report as two police officers are arrested for narcotic trafficking. See what you think about that. Columbus officers charged with helping transport drugs across Ohio. Well, one of the officers arrested by the FBI will stay behind bars for now. 10TV's Lacey Crisp is covering this and Lacey, why did a federal judge make this decision? Well, prosecutors argued in federal court that Marco Moreno had trafficked an amount of fentanyl that would equal 4 million lethal doses. They also 4 million lethal doses. 7 and 1/2 kilos of fentanyl, folks. And fentanyl is a very very dangerous narcotic. It's showing up in all kinds of fake uh opiate pills. People think they're buying oxy's or roxy's on the on the black market, they're actually getting crushed up fentanyl and they're dying. So, these guys need to be put in prison. Now, you you may or may not know my stance on on long-term prison sentences for people, you know, pushing drugs. There's a there's a reasonable limit and then there's an unreasonable limit, in my opinion. And now, if you're doing something that's leading to the death of people, you need to be prosecuted for that. If you're prosecuted for selling drugs, then the then the crime the punishment needs to fit the crime. But, if you're if you're prosecuted for doing something that leads directly to the death of another person and that can be proven, you need to be prosecuted for homicide. That's starting to happen now more and more and even in Nashville, we're seeing homicide charges from people who were known to have sold fentanyl to somebody who later died and they're starting to make the direct links there and arrest people and charge people um for homicide. So, if you're in that business, get out of that business. There's other ways that you can make money in this world rather than selling fentanyl and selling heroin and opiates and things like that. You're just you're killing people. And I've got no tolerance for that. So, um let's watch. The next video is actually the video of these officers getting arrested or one of them getting arrested in the airport. Here it is. This I will show you and and I'll kind of narrate through it. Um there's no sound. I'm going to cut the sound off. Um but you can see you'll see in a minute to the left of your screen you're going to see a man with a fuzz mouth face. Now, that's a police officer right there. He's the undercover officer that's about to arrest the bad police officer who was trafficking drugs through the airport and they've caught him and he doesn't know he's caught yet. He'll be just walking through here, strolling through here in a minute and he thinks somebody's just coming up to shake his hand and say, "Hey, how you doing? I'm so-and-so." Uh looks like somebody's just being friendly with him. He reaches his hand out to shake his hand and then he takes it, puts a cuff on it and bam, he's arrested. There you go. Hey, how you doing? Then another police officer with the backpack comes up behind him and a third officer comes in just to make sure he doesn't make a break for it. They get him cuffed and they take him to the pokey. Where he needs to be. He's pushing fentanyl. 4 million doses, 7 and 1/2 kilos of fentanyl. Um so he he deserves to go to prison. Not for the rest of his life but he deserves to go to prison, okay? That's my That's my opinion on it. Now here we're going to go to the next video. Um this one is a a body cam and there are two police officers. Could be a dash cam, I guess. Two police officers have encountered this guy with a knife. Um the guy with the knife is coming at them and it's in LA, let's see here. The good news is they have less than lethal rounds to shoot and the suspect doesn't indeed live. But watch this. This is a So, he stabbed a woman and he's coming at the police officers with a knife, okay? He deserves what he gets here. But actually they could have shot him with a a a lethal round of firearm and been within their rights. I'm really glad that they're able to to turn to these non-lethal um rounds because I don't like to see anybody get shot and killed. Um and if you're if you're a good cop, you don't want to shoot and kill somebody. I've been involved in a shooting when I was a police officer and I didn't I wasn't happy about it. I mean it was you know it was him or me kind of thing and but still you don't enjoy shooting somebody, contrary to popular belief. Lots of people think police get in the business just to shoot somebody. That's not true. Or at least most of them don't. Let's look at this again. Um this the one on the left looks like he's actually firing a pistol. So, he may have non-lethal rounds in there. Uh but it looks to me like a 9 mm or 40 count I mean it looks like his service weapon. Uh let's see if we can get a closer look at his holster. Okay. So, this guy on the left is firing a service weapon. I mean you you see his holster on his right hand side is empty. He's a right-handed man cuz he's shooting with his right hand. And his holster is empty. So, he's shooting a firearm. They say it's less than lethal rounds, so he might have that in his uh in his service weapon. That would be really really unusual for a police officer to have non-lethal rounds in his service pistol. I keep wanting to call it service revolver cuz when I first became a police officer, that's what we got. We got six-shooters. That tells you how old David Ridings is. I'll never forget the the first night I became a police officer. Um first day I became a police officer. The night before, let me tell you the story. So, the night before I became a police officer. Actually, I was hired on and they did, you know, the processing things. But the night before I I really went to roll call for the first time to ride in a car. This was in the 1980s, okay? Back then, you didn't have to go to the academy. Good to have you boys back. You know how it is. That That automatically just jumps in there. I apologize. So, back when I um back when I got hired as a police officer, you didn't have to have gone to the academy first. You had to go to the academy within 1 year of your hire date. So, a department could hire you on, put you in a car with a training officer, strap a gun to your hip, which is what they did with me, and turn you loose on the city. And I'm not kidding. So, when I uh got my first job, and I I worked for two city police departments. I worked for Murfreesboro City first, and then I did a lateral transfer over to Metro Nashville Police Department, where I finished out my career at Metro Nashville. And um then I went to work for the DA's office for a short time when I left the PD. And when I left the DA's office, I became a defense lawyer 23 years ago. So, been in this system for 30-something years. So, when I first first got hired, they give me a they they give me a box, and it's just full of stuff. They said, "Take this home. Come back tomorrow dressed out in your uniform. Um and you know, be here at 6:00 in the morning for roll call." Okay. So, I get home and I open this box. This box has my uniforms in it, already tailored. They knew my measurements, and they'd made my uniforms. It has a a gun belt, a holster, a badge, a gun, a Smith & Wesson six-shot revolver. I have that right here. No. And a box of bullets, and a radio. So, I go home. I'm living in an apartment complex in Murfreesboro, and I'm the I'm not yet the security officer. I'm about to be the security officer officer for this apartment complex, because that's what you did off duty. You worked as security for your apartment complex to get some money off your rent. So, I go home and I get suited up and get ready for the next day, and it's, you know, getting late. And of course, I've got the radio on. I'm a brand new police officer listening to this chatter all night long. And then I hear Any unit in the vicinity of Brownstone Apartments. Two suspicious men in the parking lot. Possibly burglary to autos. And I'm leaving out the 10 codes cuz, you know, So, I live in Brownstone Apartments. Here I am, a brand new police officer with my box of bullets and my gun. And I had already tried the uniform on. It was late and I was about to go to bed, so I did not have my uniform on when this occurred. Um I did throw on some pants and I would you know, I was literally about to go to bed. I go out to the balcony and I look off the balcony and low and behold, two guys beneath my balcony breaking into cars. And I can see one of them take the stereo out. This is back when it was big to steal the stereo and speakers and CB radios and anything you could find in a car. They would just dismantle the dash and and take your stereos and your 6x9s. And so they were hiding them over in a bush in a in a row of bushes. So, I was watching where they're stashing all this stuff. And now I've got a decision to make. I haven't set one foot in the in the police station as a police officer yet, okay? Nobody on the police department knows who I am. I've just been hired. I'm as green as green can be. And I've got a decision to make. Do I just let the cars get here when they get here or do I tell them, "Hey, I've got an eye on the two guys that you're looking for?" So, what do you think I do? Of course I get on the radio. Now, remember, David Ridings is a new cop without even a call number yet. Now, my badge number back then was 223. But, I didn't know that yet. And I didn't have an I didn't have an employee number yet. So, I didn't have a call sign. And I didn't have a car number cuz I've never been in a car. So, I get on the radio and I go Headquarters? This is David Rodings. You don't know me. But, I'm starting tomorrow morning. I'm a new hire. I think it's how I put it. I'm I'm a new hire. And I'm at Brownstone Apartments. And I've got an eye on the two suspects and they are indeed breaking into cars. Then it was like Headquarters, I'm headed that way. Headquarters, I'm 2 minutes away. Headquarters, I'm 30 seconds away. I had cars coming from all over the city to help this brand new police officer who's got eyes on these two guys and I you know, I said, "I'm going to if they start to leave, I will stop them." You know, if you guys can get here in time, that would be appreciated. But, they did start to leave and so I had to go out and and uh say, you know, "Freeze, police." No, I didn't do that. I did go out and say, "Stop." But, you know, "Show me your hands." I think it's the first thing you you say when you encounter somebody. I had my gun and my radio and I said, "Show me your hands. Show me your hands." I had my flashlight. And of course, they take off running. So, now I'm in foot pursuit with no call sign and cars that don't know me coming. So, I'm just calling out, "Hey, I'm I'm headed back behind Brownstone. I'm coming up on such and such street." I knew some of the streets back there, but I didn't really know all of them. And so, it was it was comical. I'd give anything if I could go back and get that little transcript of you know, the the radio chatter for my first time on the radio. It would tickle me to death to have that, but um but the guys that showed up it was that night that I learned what a brotherhood the police department was. And it was incredible. It was the most incredible feeling of belonging that I've ever felt. Because everybody that arrived on the scene that night, nobody was pompous, nobody was better than me. Nobody was um looking down on me for being stupid or saying something stupid over the radio or saying headquarters this is David Ridings. I don't even have a call sign yet, you know. It was it was comical to me in hindsight. But they were all very respectful. And they were all there to back me up and make sure that I didn't get myself hurt or killed in the process of chasing a criminal before I even stepped foot in roll call. So we did catch the guys. Um and that was my first arrest before I became Well, I'd actually been hired, but before I stepped foot in the police department. And then after that, I just really got to know what a brotherhood you know, it was to be a police officer and then I learned about the blue code of silence and the blue code of silence silence is real. And I have an opinion today that might surprise some police officers. After having been a police officer for as long as I was, I believe that the blue code of silence needs to be destroyed. It needs to be dismantled. Because cops do I I show videos on here sometimes and we've shown them in the past where a cop will come up after the cop will come up and he'll do something wrong and his buddies will come up and they'll just back whatever the first cop did, whether it's wrong or not. And that kind of stuff is starting to turn around a little bit cuz you don't you are seeing police officers now turn in other police officers for wrongdoing when they catch them. And that's what I'd like to see more of. I'd like to see more of of the police prosecuting and policing the police. And that's why we we do live videos on policing the police here on Facebook.

I'm going to do prayer walks in Nashville and I mean, I really believe I'm a Christian. And and I believe in the power of prayer and I'm I believe that I was my whole life I've prepared to be a judge and and to to win this seat. Some of you might think that sounds corny. I don't care. I really think I really feel like God's led me and and guided my every step in my life uh to be at this point and for a time such as this. And I just I don't have any fear about it. People say, "Well, why are you running against so-and-so? I mean, what do you have against him?" I don't have anything against the guy that I'm running against. Absolutely nothing. I just I feel like I'm called to be a judge and I'm running for an open seat and I went and spoke to the judge who has the seat now who's retiring and um you know, I just I don't have anything against the guy that that's announced that he's running for the seat. Um actually like him. He's a nice guy. I'm just going to I'm running for the seat. I'm not running against somebody. I'm running for judge.
