Why are martial arts becoming an ever-growing part of police work today in the United States? Dr. Jeremy Butler joins the show to discuss the benefits this type of training can bring to our officers, communities, and law enforcement agencies. Other topics discussed include defund the police, abolish the police, growing up on Chicago’s south side, how Dr. Butler avoided becoming involved in gangs as a kid, and much more.
