Podcast controversy

In July 2016, a video from the night of the 2016 shooting of Dallas police officers showed two on-duty Dallas Police Department police officers calling fellow officers "cowards" on the podcast "Your World, My View Podcast" hosted by Tommy Sotomayor.[8]

Officers Gregory Watkins and Margus McCuin called into the podcast and as Watkins' and McCuins' fellow officers were driving to the scene of the shooting and answering other police calls, the two North Dallas patrol officers drove around espousing controversial opinions about police shootings.[8]

"Quit hiring cowards, they are hiring cowards... my partner says they are hiring cowards," said Watkins about rookie officers coming out of the police academy. "They are hiring ex-military and they dont see people as human."[8]

The Dallas Police Association later said the two officers were not a reflection of how other police officers feel and police department officials informed the media that Internal Affairs was investigating both officers.[8]

The video was later removed from YouTube and both officers remained on active duty but could face serious disciplinary action.[8]
