Episode 131: Tyre Nichols - What Went Wrong and The Need For Servant Officers

Dean discusses his observations and thoughts on the Tyre Nichols case in Memphis and how law enforcement must become servant officers. In many ways, this case was more egregious than George Floyd because America saw that it is the culture within departments and not necessarily race that is driving these types of responses among law enforcement. Dean calls for the creation of new types of officers who balance the heart of a servant with the mindset of a warrior. What we need are servant officers in our communities. It's what our communities want and expect from law enforcement. Be sure to read his blog about this topic as well at http://www.lhln.org
