Here's a two hour and seven minute interview with Ed Mireles about the FBI Miami Firefight. He offers a lot of detail about the prelude to the fight and the aftermath along with some great points on mindset.

I had an ER nurse in a class. I noticed she kept taking all head shots. Her response when asked why, "'I've seen too many people who have been shot in the chest putting up a fight in the ER." Point taken.

Look forward to listening to your conversation with Ed. He's a true gentleman and I enjoyed his book. I was working in NYC at the time of the shootout and remember it like it was yesterday. Within a year I lateraled down to Miami and am very familiar with all the relevant areas.
There's nothing civil about this war.
I attended a talk by Ed sponsored by Tom Givens while I was living in Tampa. It was a mesmerizing couple of hours. It was an honor to shake his hand.
That was a great job interviewing Mr. Mireles.
Very good podcast!

I was fortunate to meet Mr Mireles in a restaurant while we were having a squad dinner on a training night. He was a gracious man. His book came out right around that time. It was an honor to shake his hand.
And I subscribed.

As always, excellent podcast - keep up the good work!
In particular, the point about open carry that you brought up with regard to Emilio Briel and Jose Collazo was very convincing!
