August 03, 2024 #38 - Heroes of the CVPA High School Tragedy
Description:
We at The Brighter Side Of Blue are frustrated with the lack of support our brave officers should have received during the 2022 school shooting here in St. Louis, MO.
In this episode we detail and bring to light some of the officers that were involved, and explain why their roles were so important.
We also interview Archie Shaw to talk about his time as a detective, getting shot, how he gained so many informants, and the significant impact he had on the community he served. This is a masterclass in what it takes to be a great police officer and an even better person.

3:48 - Breaking down the CPA school shooting
