Two Cops One Donut

Send us a text

Join us for a LIVE STREAMED EPISODE with Sgt. Erik Lavigne and Banning Sweatland, as we navigate the complexities of law enforcement alongside our special guests: Detective Matt Thornton, Josh "Deadleg," and our rookie Trey Mosley. Picture this: a vacation return from the Dominican Republic mingles with Banning's Vegas business escapades, setting the stage for lively banter and heartfelt gratitude to our listeners. As we explore the origins of our podcast, Trey's rookie status provides endless entertainment, while Josh brings fresh insights from his time as a former officer.
As the conversation unfolds, we wrestle with some of the most pressing issues in policing today. The stark reality of misconduct caught on body cam footage provokes an unfiltered discussion about accountability and public trust. We hold nothing back, analyzing the critical role of supervisors and dissecting the misconceptions surrounding police unions and qualified immunity. The episode probes deep into the responsibilities of law enforcement, the intricacies of race and communication, and the evolution of policing over the years.
Our episode wouldn't be complete without examining controversial stops, wrongful arrests, and the tactical challenges officers face. From strategic warrant execution to weapon handling tactics, every aspect of police work is scrutinized. We blend serious discussions with light-hearted stories, including karaoke mishaps and plans for engaging street interviews. With community spirit at the forefront, we remain committed to bridging gaps and providing meaningful content—all while sharing a few laughs along the way.
