“85,000 Cops Assaulted Last Year — And Police Chiefs Are Selling Them Out” | Lt. Randy Sutton

Wednesday, December 24, 2025

What happens when a cop gives 34 years to the badge… survives five shootings… then collapses from a stroke in the middle of his shift — only to have his own department refuse to pay his medical bills?

Lieutenant Randy Sutton, the most-featured officer in COPS history and a Las Vegas Metro watch commander, tells Joe Pags the story no one in the media wants you to hear.

In this raw, emotional conversation, Sutton reveals:

• Why 85,000 American police officers were assaulted last year — nearly double from just six years ago

• How radical police chiefs are refusing to cooperate with ICE while putting their own officers in danger

• How politicians eliminated consequences for attacking cops — and why violent crime exploded
• The untold suicide epidemic inside law enforcement — where more officers die by their own hand than in the line of duty

• Why Sutton created The Wounded Blue, a charity that has already helped more than 16,000 injured and disabled officers who were abandoned by the system

• The shocking moment Sutton collapsed from a stroke in his patrol car — and was told by his own agency: “This isn’t personal. It’s just business.”

He also exposes how cops who are shot, paralyzed, or permanently disabled are being fired, denied treatment, losing their homes — and in some cases, wishing they had died instead.

This episode will change how you see law enforcement forever.
