Welcome to Van Lathons, The Red Pill. We are starting out this podcast, the way we start

a lot of them with an ad, but it's not the same type of ad that we normally start with.

So this is a gentleman I met down in Baton Rouge when I was back home a couple of weeks ago speaking at the Black Out Loud Conference

has an amazing idea for an app that I think can be not only successful but also very useful to communities around the country.

We're going to start doing something here at the RedPill where we're going to

highlight different apps, products, places, businesses inside the community and giving them free ad space.

We run a lot of ads here, we sell a lot of ads, but sometimes our people down in the community can afford ad space on the red pill.

So we're about to give it away for free.

We're going to give it away for free and we're starting today with my homely Chambers and his app good cop.

Why don't you introduce yourself my brother?

Tell us who you are and then tell us the amazing idea that you have that I think people need to hear about.

So I am first of all thank you for the opportunity of your van.

To everybody out there I am Gary Chambers, the publisher of the Blues Collection a black owned media company in Baton Rouge and somewhere

along the way by writing about the injustices in the community got labeled an activist and as a result of some of the things that happened with Alton Sterling, a group of us came together created this app called Good Chop.

Good Chop is a act that allows everyday ordinary citizens to report their interaction with police officers.

And that officer interaction is scored and the cops were called a cop score and all of the

officers in the department are accumulated together to give the

department a score and that department can be ranked against other departments to determine what

the best and worse police departments in America.

And so one thing that you were telling me was that, and this is a very important sort of piece of information is one of the roadblocks to actually sort of getting police reform or holding police accountable is that the only people that you when you have a bad interaction with the cop the only people you have to report that interaction to

Are other police officers and oftentimes

Those situations there's the the blue line and those guys protect one another.
