Safety Warning Ignored — “Not Here For That” response.

Public safety doesn’t fail in the moment—it fails in the hours and days before, when warning signs are ignored and nobody owns the mission. In this episode, Retired FBI Supervisory Special Agent, Chris Piehota, breaks down a clip tied to the Brown University shooting aftermath that should stop every campus leader and security executive cold.

A witness describes seeing the suspect a dozen times before the event —lurking around classrooms, moving through a campus building, and repeatedly raising concern. He says he reported the suspicious behavior three times to on-site security. The response? “I’m not here for that.” That single line captures the core problem: a security posture built on paperwork, contractors, and complacency instead of capability, accountability, and action.

Chris lays out what competent public safety looks like: escalation protocols, behavioral threat reporting, visible presence, access control discipline, and leadership that treats prevention as the job—not a slogan. If we want safer campuses and communities, we must demand better people, better standards, and real consequences for failure.

Channel Approach: The world does not have to suck, but there are some things we should talk about without hating each other or purposely seeking conflict. Things such as current events, standing social issues, and areas of lingering concern that are of interest to many people. Are you tired of "overly-scripted", highly "curated", and "conflict-based" content that has become the norm? Are you exhausted with content that looks like contrived takeoffs of the failed mainstream media? I am. So, I hope you will forgive me for a less generic, over-produced approach where ideas can be shared in a more informal fashion about what is going on for the ordinary people of the world. For the sake of real talk, minor recording mistakes will be included in this content.
