In the latest installment of LEO Round Table, host Chip DeBlock and retired Lieutenant Jeff Wenninger tackled a heavy slate of legal and political controversies, ranging from high-profile acquittals to domestic terrorism pleas. The Season 10 episode, filmed November 24, 2025, offered a law enforcement perspective on three stories currently dominating the national conversation.
The discussion opened with a look at the political fallout surrounding a viral video alleging potential military mutiny. Panelists analyzed recent comments by Michigan Democratic Senator Elissa Slotkin, who publicly admitted that no illegal orders had been issued by President Donald Trump. The segment highlighted the contrast between the viral narratives circulating online and Slotkin’s on-the-record confirmation, sparking a broader conversation about political rhetoric versus operational reality in Washington.
The episode then pivoted to a polarizing use-of-force case involving the acquittal of a police officer charged in the death of Ta’Kiya Young. The panelists examined the legal arguments that led to the verdict, focusing on the specific threat dynamics presented when a suspect attempts to use a vehicle as a weapon against law enforcement. Wenninger and DeBlock dissected the split-second decision-making involved, providing technical context on how juries evaluate perceived danger in officer-involved shootings.
Rounding out the hour, the show covered a significant development in federal court, where five suspects pleaded guilty in what is being cited as the first specific “Antifa terrorism case.” The charges stemmed from an attack on an ICE facility, a case that has been closely watched by legal experts and law enforcement agencies alike. The hosts discussed the implications of the guilty pleas and what they signal for future prosecution of politically motivated violence.
LEO Round Table continues to serve as a platform for retired and active officers to interpret headline news through the lens of police procedure and criminal law.
