What up, what up, what up everybody? This is Michael Steele with a quick take from the

Michael Steele podcast. Check it out. Today, I wanted to sort of get into a different

frame of reference for us because as I was talking about to our guests before we started,

there were a lot of Marines on the wall for our democracy and Rosa Brooks was one of them.

I think she will have a lot of insights for us about what that was like. But there's

some other things that Miss Brooks has done that is actually equally more exciting and

interesting. She is a law professor at Georgetown University, my mom.

And founder of Georgetown's innovative policing program, hand-to-hand, you know what we're

going, right? From 2016 to 2020, she served as a reserve police officer with the Washington

DC Metropolitan Police Department and as a native Washingtonian who grew up with the DC

Police, I know what her stint was like there. It was on every day interesting, I'm sure.

She has worked previously at the Defense Department, the State Department and for several international

human rights organizations. Her new book is called Tangled Up in Blue Policing the American

City. And...

Here we go. This is my book you've got there. It's a beautiful book baby. Yesterday, yes it

is Tangled Up in Blue Policing the American City. Welcome Rosa to the podcast.
