A Baltimore Cop Lays It All Out

Joe Rogan recently interviewed Michael A. Wood, an ex police officer from Baltimore, Maryland. Wood is totally honest. Whether you agree with him or not he is speaking the truth as he sees it. It's very brave. Very self-reflective.

He says this of walking through Black neighborhoods off duty: "When you go through the city, it's not at all what you think it is... it's not like things were chaos in the neighborhood; ladies are sweeping their steps. But the neighborhood changes once you have that uniform and those lights and you are now the authority."

He seems to want to change the world by first questioning his own impressions. Pretty Stoic.

That said, I am a mere consumer of information. I don't know the whole story down there and I can't pretend to.

Check it out here.
