Disclaimer: Much like the previous episodes particularly in Season 2, this is a definite Trigger Warning! Listener discretion is advised, and material discussed is not intended for audiences under 18 years of age.

Almost 11 years after the 2009 take down of an Upland Park Police Department, Victoria spoke with Donah Sandford. The survivor, woman, business owner, warrior and more who was able to get a federal and civil conviction on a police officer who was a criminal trafficker. Donah shares her heroic story (around 15:00 minutes and very triggering around 33:00 minutes) of the legal process and what she did to face a criminal dressed in blue. How Donah was able to bring light to a tragic scheme of violence against sex workers , where 15 other survivors came forward. Victoria trembles through trying to summarize the story for listeners and bring up how to pay attention to Donahs story of a charge that needs to be widespread against some of the people dressed in blue and that is " VIOLATION OF CIVIL RIGHTS UNDER THE COLOR OF LAW".Listen to learn more.
