 | CopCAST Episode 87 - Wake Up Mack! |
 This week Morgan made his return, although we had to catch up with him in San Francisco and Mack was actually back on dry land.
Google and Comcast grabbed the tech headlines this week - Google for giving its customers a new product and Comcast for taking away its service. The cop and tech communities join forces to fight crime using GPS units. We found out that those Canadians take their Internet service very seriously. One town in New York is trying to cut costs by terminating those costly veteran cops. Hey bright boy, its not a good idea to tease a pit bull. Shampoo! Someone is going to go to jail for stealing shampoo? Pedestrians and a full moon - how romantic. A big thanks to the growing number of CopCAST correspondents - we appreciate you!

| CopCAST Episode 86 - The Liberal Flu |
This week only two of the stooges were available to do the show. Morgan went to San Francisco for a business meeting and we really thought the liberals had kidnapped him. It ended up that he merely contracted a bad dose of the liberal flu. I knew he should have been vaccinated before going to that bastion of liberalism.
On the brighter side, we had a CopCAST first - Bloomfield, MO Chief Jason Curtman sent us our first audio comment. We also learned that Jerry Seinfeld will be the spokesman in the new Microsoft commercials . . . not that there is anything wrong with that! Also on the tech side, Chrysler will introduce an internet hotspot option in their new vehicles.

| Wearing a helmet can save a life - yours! |
 It has been 34 years since I was on a motorcycle. I was working for a bread company after getting out of the military and I bought the bike and used it for the three-mile ride to work each morning. Early one morning, and when I say early I mean 4:30 a.m., and if you deliver bread you're feeling me.
I came around the corner over near Pleasantdale Road and lost control of the bike in the curve and down I went. I had a busted collarbone but that was all. I got the bike fixed and then sold it. I really liked the bike but I had a feeling that it wasn't for me.
Back on August 7th, Sammy "The Worm" Worsham was responding to a help call put out by one of our detectives who had stumbled onto a bad guy. Sammy was on a Harley going north in the 6500 block of Roswell Road. He was running blue lights and siren but right as he passed the Sandy Springs Toyota, a car pulled out and Sammy hit it. He saw it coming and was in the process of trying to slow the bike. He said later that he knew he was going to hit but thought he could at least slow it down some before impact.

| Lost generations |
 My job usually takes me to the worst ghetto neighborhoods of my town. When I am there I can't help but be amazed at how some people live and act. We execute raids on houses and within minutes there are dozens of folks standing out in the street rubbernecking. These are grown ass men and women who should be at work at 10AM on a Tuesday but seem to have nothing better to do that hang out at my crime scene.
You would think that these crowds would be happy that we are actively clearing out drug houses. Nope. Instead they like to stand around and yell out helpful comments like:

| CopCAST Episode 85 - Excessive Sound Effects |
In the words of Mick Jagger, "Too much is never enough." OK, so we went a little overboard with the sound effects but therein lies the danger of giving little boys fancy toys. However our legion of listeners really came through for us by sending in some great local stories and our CopCAST correspondents searched the web to find some great news reports.
CNN never covers the really interesting stories like the robber who locked his keys in his get away car so we do. Most of us like to go on a department sponsored road trip every now and then. However, one Kentucky sheriff may have carried it a little far on a recent extradition. I apologize in advance but you know we were going to have to talk about the recent Big Foot finding. Like they say,"There is a sucker born every minute." We also tell you about a new program that provides e-mail for inmate. It actually is not as bad as it sounds. These are just a few of the stories we discuss this week.
