Sometimes the timing of things happen to be fortuitous. Yesterday was fathers day, and on fathers day I was able to share a conversation with my father. Now my father just so happens to be a retired military vet as well as a retired military vet that joined the force during the tail end of the civil right era during the late 60s. I thought there was no better time then now, to let my father share a bit of his story in his own words as well as chime in on the current climate of the world as it pertains to the protests as well as policing. You may not find my dad online, but there’s a good chance you’ll catch him somewhere in a “3 piece suit with French cuffs!”
