This episode is me interviewing a retired police officer. The stories you hear are from 20 to 30 years ago. Sadly, the same themes and patterns can be seen today in Americas policing. I hope all is well with you as always. I love you. Stay sane reach me at any of my socials https://linktr.ee/t_2turnt27 or my number (901) 881-0812 for any questions or concerns. I'm always looking to better this podcast however I can. Till next time love T.

The Department of Justice recently did an investigation. They found the Memphis Police Department engages in unconstitutional practices. They released a detailed report in December, filled with heartbreaking evidence. Sadly, many of us weren't surprised by its findings.

I created this podcast episode to inform. In January, a new administration took office, and just last Wednesday, they announced the termination of this investigation—along with many others, including the one in Minneapolis, where George Floyd was murdered. This is devastating news, but it doesn't erase the countless injustices that Americans have endured over the years.

Despite this, I believe in us. I believe that through connection, communication, and community, we can push for change. Will it be easy? Absolutely not. Will it happen overnight? Hell no.

With all that being said, I encourage you to play your part, whatever that may look like for you—whether it's showing up to community events, listening to and sharing stories like the ones mentioned in this episode, protesting, or even contacting politicians.

Together, we can create a better future.
