Dive into an electrifying episode with guest Clint McNear, a retired Texas cop, co-host of the Blue Grit Podcast, and newly elected President of the Texas Fraternal Order of Police. From jaw-dropping personal tales—like a rookie bird-flipping fiasco and a tragic hunting accident—to explosive insights on policing, transparency, and double standards in discipline, this conversation pulls no punches. Clint unpacks his 22-year career, cracks a 17-year cold case, and exposes Texas’ wild IA rules (no lawyers allowed!). Trading laughs, challenge coins, and Lone Star swagger in California, they tackle morale-crushing processes, unite 80,000 cops, and offer rookie advice that hits hard. Buckle up for a raw, unfiltered look at the thin blue line from both sides of the badge! #police #copstories #cops #lawenforcement #crime #policeofficer #internalaffairs #policeforce #podcast #lapd Marlon's Info: Website: https://savagetraininggroup.com/courses/internal-affairs-investigations/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iaguypodcast/?hl=en Linked IN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marlon-marrache/ Clint's Info: Website: https://tmpa.org/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tmpa1950/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TMPAsince1950 Time Stamp: 1:30 From Snowmageddon to Sunshine 4:58 The Dark Side of IA 11:30 Flipping the Bird 28:47 No Lawyer No Mercy 36:20 Double Standards Exposed 40:46 Blood on the Badge
