Get ready for an enlightening journey that tracks the fascinating path of Bob Gorsky, the longest-serving TMPA attorney. Picture a young man in Kenmore, New York, who majors in sociology and eventually aligns himself with the powerful field of law enforcement representation. Bob's story spans over 48 years and narrates a tale of evolution, resolve, and constant learning. As we listen to Bob's journey, we uncover his profound impact on the landscape of officer-involved shootings, acting as a pioneering force for change and justice. Our conversation moves fluidly through the intricacies of police shooting policies, the repercussions of dashcam videos in investigations, and the amplified scrutiny of officers involved in shootings. There's an emotional undercurrent as Bob discusses the evolving penal code, the necessity of having an attorney present, and the shifting dynamics of walkthroughs. The conversation brings to light the meticulous preparation that the Rangers undergo to navigate scenarios where immediate statements aren't accessible. The podcast rounds out with a focus on the pillars of honesty and training in law enforcement and the crucial role they play in shaping an officer's relationship with attorneys like Bob. Brace yourself as we delve into the harsh consequences of dishonesty, the rigorous criteria of prosecutors, and the constant battles to gain access to legal aid. Politics, its pervasive influence on the prosecution of law enforcement officers, and the potential for progress in Austin also take center stage.
