Dr. L’s Podcast

Captain Hunter’s Podcast is now Dr. L’s Podcast. During the pandemic, I went back to school and completed a doctorate in Leadership. While I still plan to hit on some policing stories, I will mostly pivot to self-improvement topics. Having overcome many mental hurdles, I think it’s time I gave back. I want to help people become the best version of themselves. I also plan to hit on love and relationship topics. Having gone through a divorce and returning to the dating market, I will speak about the mistakes I made along the way and how a mature man looks at dating. Buckle up as we discuss some critical life-changing topics. Hit me up if you have any show suggestions: bigglphd@gmail.com And don’t forget to follow me on Youtube - Dr. L’ Podcast (formerly @bigglphd)

All we get is a day off for Juneteenth?

There is so much more than African Americans and others desire from their Congressional leaders. And all they can ever manage to do is raise taxes and items that benefit the rich and corporations. No police reform, no anti-lynching law, still problems at the border, no consensus on how to investigate Jan 6, and so on and so on. #juneteenth #africanamericans #bill #antilynchingbill #antilynching #anti-lynching #slavery #reparations #justice #blm #blacklivesmatter #terrorism #crt #criticalracetheo...

My Problem with the 2nd Amendment

Texas recently passed a law allowing citizens to carry firearms without a permit. Lawmakers based the law on the 2nd Amendment, but was that amendment meant for everyone? Should citizens be allowed to carry a weapon on their hip with proper training and gun safety knowledge? Lets' discuss.

Hip Hop and Faith - Can They Co-exist? w/ Pasor Stacey Jones

The Black church has always been a beacon and influencing force within the Black community. Considering the current climate within law enforcement many people are looking for the church to help sooth the wounds and get answers. But where does hip hop culture fit in? Growing up I was told that to have love for this world was to be at war with or hate what Christianity stood for. My good friend Stacey Jones has written a book about pastoring hip hip church and keeping the congregants in line with ...

No Jan 6 Commission - No Surprise - What about Blue Lives?

Police officers and civilians were killed during the insurrection on Jan 6, 2021. Our Congress continues to prove they can't get anything done. The US Senate has voted or refused to vote to establish a bi-artisan commission to determine what happened, why, and how to ensure that another attempted coup or insurrection happens again. Make no mistake, the forces that have enacted, instigated, and developed conspiracy theories have not gone away. They need to be hunted down and eradicated. A commiss...

Officer Problems are Often Administration Problems

Why does it often take a major incident before some administrative officials go into action? Being proactive before an embarrassing scandal should be the norm.

Benefits of MMA Training for Police Officers w/ Chris Smith

More and more research is revealing that officers who train in MMA style of self defense are more confident in their approach with citizens. My dept worked with such a trainer, Chris Smith. This was a facebook live (I think my 1st one). We recorded it shortly after the Floyd incident. Watching the Chauvin trial and seeing one of the prosecution's witnesses I realized that never uploaded this ep as an audio file. Of course the video is on YouTube and my Facebook page (Captain Hunter's Podcast). #...

No Transparency in NC Shooting of Andrew Brown, Jr

If one needs more evidence that DA's who work closely with officers should not be allowed to review their shootings and other serious events, look no further. The DA in the shooting case of Andrew Brown Jr has declined to press charges and is refusing to release the full bodycam footage of the involved officers. This lack of transparency causes mistrust and distrust of law enforcement and the criminal justice system as a whole. #andrewbrownjr #andrewbrown #officerinvolvedshooting #OIS #lawenforc...

Emotional Survival for Police Officers After a Police Shooting w/ Adam Pasciak, PhD
