In this episode of the Blue Grit Podcast, we sit down with national use-of-force expert and law enforcement attorney Lance LoRusso—a former officer turned legal warrior who’s represented over 180 officers in critical incidents.
From patrol to prosecution, Lance knows the stakes. He breaks down what really happens when officers are thrust into the legal spotlight—where the headlines are loud, but the facts often get buried.
🔹 Why the real question in officer-involved shootings isn’t who did it—but why it happened
🔹 The fatal flaw of knee-jerk firings after viral incidents
🔹 What most attorneys don’t understand about defending cops
🔹 How the emotional toll on officers goes far beyond the courtroom
🔹 Why the “defund” narrative is falling apart—and what comes next
Whether you're wearing the badge or standing behind those who do, this episode delivers unfiltered truth about the legal minefield officers now face—and why specialized representation from people who understand the job is more important than ever.
🛡 From the streets to the stand—Blue Line Institute is in the fight. And so is Lance.
