TERRORISM 101: WHY DO THEY HATE US?

Sep 14, 2019 | Podcast

Jim spends some time to define and explore terrorism, what is it? What are we doing about it? Why do the “bad guys” hate us so much? He will discuss radicalization and Islam along the way, but this is a much more fundamental overview. Who else do we consider a terrorist? Why or why not?

Let’s talk through common policing archetypes—Guardian, Warrior, Enforcer, Crime Fighter, Cynic, Power Seeker, and Pragmatist—not as fixed identities, but as adaptive responses to situational demands. The central argument is simple but challenging: effective policing requires the ability to shift modes deliberately.

This episode is a call for self-awareness, professional maturity, and dynamic leadership—not slogans, costumes, or rigid identities.

The discussion also covers practical issues in arresting and searching people, along with how over-technical language or “sounding like a nerd” can erode rapport, credibility, and command presence in the field.
