For over 22 years, Ron Barber has been producing critical, lifesaving, police officer training videos educating law enforcement officers and criminal justice students. In the first half, he was joined by Mark DiBona and Randy Sutton, both in the profession, to discuss the current state of law enforcement after the George Floyd murder, and what is being done to purge the field of racist and sadistic officers. The Floyd incident was a horrendous aberration, but law enforcement needs to look at changes in policing, Sutton and Barber agreed. Though, they pointed out there are thousands of daily police contacts that are handled professionally and with decency.
DiBona supports peaceful protests against the Floyd killing, but when it comes to looting and violence, that is not the answer, he commented. He also talked about mental health issues for police officers, and how enrollment in police academies is down 16% since the Floyd case. Regarding the Rayshard Brooks shooting in Atlanta, Barber cited that when people run from cops after being stopped, it raises suspicion. He finds the charges against the police officer in that case to be unwarranted because he could have been tasered and shot by Brooks once he escaped and took his taser. After the Floyd killing, there has been a "manufactured social narrative," Sutton said, pointing toward systemic racism in law enforcement, but he does not find that to be a fair or accurate assessment. For more analysis of the Floyd incident, Barber has made available this podcast and article.

In the latter half, C2C investigative reporter Cheryll Jones interviewed "spiritual warrior" Bill Bean with an update on his work as a deliverance minister. He recalled to Cheryl how he grew up in a demonically possessed home that was likely related to a family bloodline curse. Walls were built over existing walls in the house almost as though something was being kept in, he said. His mother experienced traumatic supernatural events in her childhood, and this may have made her more susceptible to demonic attacks later in life. With the skills he now has as an exorcist, he wishes he could go back in time and help her.
Bean has also had several UFO sightings and encounters, which started at his childhood home. He shared his findings with Skinwalker Ranch officials during the 1990s when it was owned by Robert Bigelow and studied by his National Institute for Discovery Science (NIDS). Bean has concluded that supernatural entities are connected, including angels, Bigfoot, Mothman, UFOs, aliens, orbs, and demons. Further, he believes the chaotic events we're experiencing now are a result of people turning away from God, and that "cases of demonic possession and oppression are through the roof." He is offering a free PDF of his new work, "The 7th Book," through his website.
