Summary

Today we interviewed one of the most interesting people we've ever had on this channel. I speak to longtime Philly police officer William "Bill" Hunter. Hunter is from the Badlands, one of the worst neighborhoods in Philly and eventually became a cop there in the 1990's. Throughout his career, he's worked plainclothes, SWAT, high level wiretaps, drug investigations and more. We also talked about life in Kensington, one of the biggest open air drug markets in America.
