Retired NYPD Sergeant Mark E. shares his experiences growing up in Brooklyn, overall 25 year NYPD work experience, & what he witnessed on 9/11. We then discuss the intersectionality of being Black & NYPD by addressing racism in NYPD, police brutality, Black Lives Matter vs. Blue Lives Matter, & defunding the police. Sergeant E. offers solutions to how civilians and police officers can coexist harmoniously. The show ends with Sergeant E.'s words of advice to aspiring and rookie police officers.

P.S. It's going back to 1980s Brooklyn!
