Being in law enforcement was never been easy. But over the last few years, police departments across the country have been under increased scrutiny, as a slew of high-profile incidents has sparked fiery debates over police reform and funding. Authors James Patterson and retired serviceman Matt Eversmann have teamed up once again to write a book, this time to capture the real-life experiences of the police officers who risk their lives to protect and serve their communities. Patterson and Eversmann recently joined host Chris Foster to discuss their new book, 'Walk the Blue Line' and why they wanted readers to look at the daily lives of law enforcement officers outside a political lens. Both authors explain why it was important to give an honest perspective on what it is like to be a police officer in America. They share stories from the book that show the pros and cons of being a cop and try to humanize those who protect and serve us. Due to time limitations, we could not include all of the discussion in our original segment.
