The Age of Selective Outrage
Feb 1500:46:36Tap to summarizeIn this episode Dex breaks down how social media fuels selective outrage, responding to recent viral controversies—from a disputed Trump post to incidents of racial slurs—and explains why he’s stepping away from platforms that amplify division. As a Black police officer and father, he shares personal stories about race, hypocrisy, and culture, critiques the NFL’s choices and halftime politics, and calls for consistent standards of outrage and accountability across the board.
Transcribe →Our Own Worst Enemy
Jan 3001:19:38Tap to summarizeHost Dex pushes back against the fast news cycle and urges facts over hot takes, unpacking recent protests, viral videos, and the confusion between ICE and Border Patrol surrounding the Alex Pretty shooting. Drawing on 17 years as a cop and time in Border Patrol, he shares personal arrest footage, criticizes agitators and unprofessional behavior on both sides, and examines high‑profile incidents like Don Lemon's arrest. Dex closes by addressing veteran issues—VA disability, social media conduct, and fraud concerns—arguing that personal responsibility and accountability matter more than attention or ideology.
Transcribe →Recycled Chaos
Jan 2001:12:04Tap to summarizeAfter a lengthy hiatus and time off to recover from shoulder surgery, I am back to speak my mind. In this episode, I discuss why I decided to step away from social media and podcasting due to drama, negativity, and conspiracy theories. With the chaos unfolding in Minneapolis, I wanted to remind everyone that we are not seeing anything new. It’s the same playbook with different faces—just recycled chaos.
Transcribe →Light And Darkness Cannot Coexist
Sep 2001:06:25Tap to summarizeHost Dexter Pitts returns after a months-long break with personal updates about an upcoming shoulder surgery, the challenges of podcasting, and the surprising recognition his show has received. He reflects on family, work, and his motivation for getting back behind the mic. Dexter responds emotionally to the assassination of Charlie Kirk, explores the social and political fallout, warns about radical voices filling the void, and delivers a frank critique of rising crime, criminal justice policy, and cultural division — calling listeners to stay vigilant, mourn responsibly, and keep fighting for their values.
Transcribe →How To Create A Racist
May 12, 202501:13:03Tap to summarizeI'm not one to say that we are on the verge of a race war (white vs. black), but if we are, I did not expect it to start via Gofundme or GiveSendGo. The fact that black Americans are finicnally supporting black criminals who have killed white people and white people are donating their money to a racist white lady who called a black child the N-word is a major concern and step back for all of America. And speaking of the N-word, my son, who is 9, had his first encounter with the word. Sad to say, it's not going to be his last either. Lastly, the new phrase going around is "Black Fatigue." It seems like everyone, even other black folks, are getting tired of the rachet, entitled, ghetto behavior being exhibited and praised by black culture. I think it's long time past due that we refine what it means to be black and it's time to change black culture for the better. The question is, can it be changed or is it too late and is black culture too far gone?
Transcribe →The Opportunity Of A Lifetime
Mar 13, 202500:51:20Tap to summarizeA few months ago, my name was brought up to the producer of the tv "On Patrol: Live" as a possible guest host. Me, being the skeptic that I am, did not put much thought into. My skepticism faded when I received a message inviting me to Jersey City to do a screen test for the show!
Transcribe →I Wanna Be A Bad Boy
Feb 11, 202501:00:42Tap to summarizeAs a police officer and a Christian, sometimes it gets old being being the bigger person and having to turn the other cheek. At times, it feels like I am a punching bag for society and I am not allowed to respond to defend my honor in the name of remaining professional. Sometimes I get so mad dealing with people insulting me and saying outlandish things to me that I want to lose control and just be a bad boy. However, I have to remind myself that God and my chosen profession has called me to be different than the everyday citizen who lets their anger and carnal nature control them. Being insulted while on duty is one thing, but being insulted inside a business while off duty as a paying customer is a different feeling.
Transcribe →The OT Greed Trap
Dec 21, 202400:59:42Tap to summarizeWhen I was a rookie police officer on LMPD, overtime (OT) was a forbidden word. Now, in 2024, with police staffing levels at an all time low across the country, officers all over America have the ability to set themselves up for future financial success with unlimited OT and high paying off duty jobs. With that in mind, remember this one thing: Don't get greedy and steal money or time from the government like NYPD Lt. Quathisha Epps who is being accused / investigated for earning an additional $204,000 in OT. And on a final note, if you want to ensure you have a great police career and make it to retirement, be weary of these four things: Money, Lying, Sex and Alcohol. You can enjoy these things in the right environment at the proper time, but I've seen many careers crash and burn behind all four.
Transcribe →The Little Boy Wo Cried Hitler And Racism
Nov 26, 202401:40:14Tap to summarizeAmericans voted and unamously agreed that it was time for Donald Trump to be the leader in America once again! Those who oppose Donald Trump being president are now questioning, "How did this happen?" You can only compare someone to Hitler so many times that people realize how farfetched that is. You can only label a group of people as Nazis and racists so many times until people start to see how outlandish that is. The American people are tired of being lied to and having their emotions played with and spoke in a unified voice, screaming "No more!" Everyone is tired of identity politics and the division it causes. Yet there are still people in positions of power (Jefferson County Public School System Chief Equity Officer) that want black people to believe that white people want to do them physical harm. Are there racist people? Of course there are. How do I know this? Because I had to deal with a racist the other night on my shift, and boy do I have a story to tell you all about it! Lastly, an LMPD officer who was shot in the line of duty during 2020 is suing LMPD for claims of racism, discrimination, and lies about the Breonna Taylor Case. Need A Cigar?

Transcribe →Just Accept The Thank You And Free Meal
Nov 13, 202400:31:40Tap to summarizeHappy Veteran’s Day! In this on the fly, last minute, shoot from the hip, unscripted episode recorded from my police car, I address all the veterans who feel undeserving of a free meal or service on Veteran’s Day. Some of us in the veteran community have lost sight of how Vietnam Veterans were treated upon returning home from the battlefield. It’s time for us to put aside our pride, ego, and negative view of Veteran’s Day and just accept the thank you and gratitude people want to show us.
