A routine traffic stop. A life-changing decision. A national conversation.

In this powerful episode of Safe Nation, former Dalton Police Officer Leslie Allen O'Neal sits down for his first public interview since the traffic stop that sparked widespread backlash and intense media coverage. When a college student was pulled over and later turned over to immigration authorities, the story made headlines—but much of the truth was left out.

O’Neal walks us through the moment-by-moment events of that day, the aftermath that led to his resignation, and how public perception and departmental silence shaped his next chapter.

🎙 In This Episode:

• What really happened during the traffic stop
• The role of local law enforcement in immigration enforcement
• The personal toll of public scrutiny
• Why Officer O'Neal chose to resign
• What the public should understand about split-second decisions in policing

This conversation sheds light on the intersection of law enforcement, immigration, and public accountability in today’s America.

In this powerful episode of Safe Nation, retired USMC Officer and GBI Special Agent Monty Bynum steps into the spotlight to expose the cracks in today’s law enforcement system. Known for his no-nonsense leadership style and elite career dismantling criminal empires, Bynum introduces his nationwide movement—A Different Breed (ADB)—and explains why he believes law enforcement must be rebuilt from the inside out.

We dive deep into the failures of current leadership, the dangers of complacency, and why officers deserve more than outdated training and broken systems. If you’re in law enforcement—or care about the future of policing—you don’t want to miss this.
