This episode we interview Brandon Rogers, a former Police Officer and current Law Grad & Trust Officer. We dive into a conversation about his experience & perspective while serving on the force. Are police officers good or bad people? Do they have enough training? Do they get special treatment from the law? Do they racially discriminate? Join us as we provide our perspectives on these questions & others!

Quotes to look forward to...

- "Nine to One: Caucasian arrests... The biggest thing by far is location."

- "It's a loose-loose, we did everything possible not to get into a fight"

- "You're going to be expected to make a split second decision that will determine whether or not you will go home at night. I will spend the next two years drinking coffee and analyzing that decision to determine whether you were right or wrong."

"Do you think cops are over protected or under protected by society and the law?"

- "Who goes the speed limit? Just your grandmas and grandpas, really"

- "Do a ride along"
