In today's episode, we'll be discussing the struggle of black police officers in an America caught in racial tensions and anti-police culture. These black police officers sign up for a job that offers a path to a middle-class life and a chance to honor their communities by pledging to protect them, but they often face questions of loyalty from neighbors and family who are skeptical of law enforcement. They want to “be the change,” then realize what they’re up against: their own family and friends who see them as "sold out", and a police culture with a legacy of prejudice, protected by unions, resistant to self-examination, and primed to use force. I sat down with two black officers to have their takes and perspectives on these issues, but most importantly, the solutions they suggest to help normalize the relationships between law enforcement agents and the communities they pledged to serve and protect. A must listen!
