Summary

"It means a lot for me to be able to share my heart with people. I wanted to make sure I was real and that people could feel where I was coming from — so that they know when you see an officer, that's a regular person underneath the badge and the uniform who lives, breathes, thinks, and feels just like they do." 🗣 Today is Part 2 of the interview with a biracial police officer who shares with us his perspective on being caught in the middle of racial tensions as well as a war between citizens and law enforcement. In a rare circumstance, I am overcome with emotion near the end of the interview, proving just how connected we all are. Hope you enjoy this episode. ❤️
