 Exploring the Darkest Corners of Violence Prevention and Survival: Join Katherine Schweit, former head of the FBI's Active Shooter Program, and award-winning true-crime producer Sarah Ferris in Stop the Killing, the true-crime podcast that doesn’t just document tragedy but empowers listeners with the tools to prevent it. This series masterfully blends deep dives into infamous mass shootings, high-stakes FBI cases, and real-world survivor stories with expert analysis and practical safety strategies. Schweit—who led the first government study on mass shootings after Sandy Hook—delivers powerful insights, while Ferris transforms each episode into a gripping, unforgettable journey. Together, they equip listeners to recognize warning signs, understand preventative strategies, and become "upstanders" in the face of violence. In Season 5, meet heroes, advocates, and experts whose stories demand action—from Parkland parents who turned grief into advocacy, to Chris Hansen of To Catch a Predator - each story a call to action in America's ongoing fight against gun violence. Stop the Killing isn’t just a podcast; it’s an indispensable guide to saving lives.509981 Crimini reali Scienze sociali

  • Revisited - UNDERSTANDING DEADLY FORCE — PART TWO with Jerri Williams

    Revisited - UNDERSTANDING DEADLY FORCE — PART TWO with Jerri Williams
    Jan 19 2026
    🎧 UNDERSTANDING DEADLY FORCE — PART TWO Stop the Killing Podcast | S4E59 If you listened to last week’s bonus episode examining the Minnesota ICE agent shooting — where Katherine Schweit broke down the deadly force standard and whether it was lawful — and found yourself wanting to go deeper into how deadly force policies actually work, this episode is for you. This is Part Two of our Understanding Deadly Force series, released to add further context and depth to the questions raised by that case — not by revisiting the incident itself, but by examining the policies, training, and human consequences behind deadly force decisions. Hosts Sarah Ferris and Katherine Schweit are joined again by Jerri Williams, a retired FBI agent with 26 years of service, to explore what happens after a deadly force encounter — and why that aftermath matters just as much as the moment a trigger is pulled. This episode picks up where Part One left off and focuses on: Why officers involved in shootings must receive psychological and psychiatric support How unresolved trauma can endanger officers, partners, and civilians Why deadly force scenarios are mentally rehearsed — awake and asleep The reality of firing until a threat is stopped, not “counting shots” How training protocols evolved after catastrophic shootings Why civilians are judged differently than law enforcement under deadly force laws The legal and emotional risks civilians face when carrying and using a firearm The persistent myth of the “good guy with a gun” Listeners hear firsthand accounts from FBI agents who survived gunfights and lived with the consequences — not as spectacle, but as institutional knowledge meant to prevent future loss of life. Public debate around deadly force often focuses on outcomes, not consequences. This episode asks listeners to consider the weight of responsibility carried by those who use force — and the long shadow those decisions cast over careers, families, and lives. It is not about defending or condemning any single case.It is about understanding what deadly force truly costs.

  • Minnesota ICE Shooting: Former FBI Agent Explains the Deadly Force Standard — Was It Lawful?

    Minnesota ICE Shooting: Former FBI Agent Explains the Deadly Force Standard — Was It Lawful?
    Jan 15 2026
    In this episode of Stop the Killing Podcast, former FBI agent and prosecutor Katherine Schweit breaks down the fatal shooting of Renee Goode, a 37-year-old U.S. citizen, by a federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in Minneapolis. Rather than reacting to headlines or social media outrage, this episode focuses on one question only: Did the officer’s actions meet the legal standard for the use of deadly force? Drawing on Department of Justice policy, Supreme Court case law, and her own experience investigating officer-involved shootings, Schweit explains: What “objectively reasonable” force actually means When officers are legally prohibited from shooting at moving vehicles Why anger, frustration, or refusal to comply do not justify deadly force How federal investigations differ when the shooter is a federal agent What investigators will be required to evaluate — regardless of politics This episode does not reach a verdict.It explains the rules — so listeners can understand how this case will be judged. DOJ and DHS deadly force policy Shooting into a vehicle: what the law allows and forbids Federal vs state investigations in officer-involved shootings Why “escape” alone can never justify deadly force What video evidence can — and cannot — tell us This case has ignited protests and intense public debate.Understanding the actual legal standard is essential — especially when emotions are high and facts are still emerging.
