EB be Interviewin'

In an attempt to further educate myself, hear others' stories, and help heal and change the world, I talk to someone who is on both sides of this week. He's a black man, and a police officer. He's hurt and frustrated, and he's trying to protect his community. He's also teaching us what can be done to help get some real change and help both sides feel better.
