Welcome to episode 323 of FBI Retired Case File Review with Jerry Williams.

I'm a retired agent on a mission to show you who the FBI is and what the

FBI does through my books my blog and my podcast case reviews with former colleagues.

Today, well, today is a crossover episode with Stop the Killing Podcast.

When the host, Catherine Swight and Sarah Ferris invited me to be a guest on the show,

I suggested we talk about the deadly force policy and review the responsibility undertaken by everyone who carries a gun, whether they're a law enforcement officer or a private citizen.

Our conversation is also posted as season 4, episode 58 and 59 on the Stop the Killing Podcast.

I'm posting the show here on FBI Retired Case File Reviews feed for those who haven't had the opportunity to hear this impactful discussion.

I've never shot anyone nor have I been shot, neither have Kate or Sarah. I wanted to respectfully represent those who have

had to take a life to save a life and those who have been shot in the line of duty.

So the voices of agents describing what it's like to be in a gun battle

have been included in this episode to bring authenticity to the topic.

We've added audio clips from some of my previously recorded shows

with retired agents involved in shooting incidents.

In your podcast app's description of this episode you'll find a

link to the Stop the Killing Podcast website as well as a link to my show notes for

this episode at Jerry Williams.com where you'll find a photo of

Catherine and Sarah links to the two US Supreme Court rulings that define

America's deadly force policies and the DOJ FBI use of force policy.
