Today, I talked about Policing in America, not just by police officers but by citizens as well. My goal is to explain that our lack of empathy has caused us to become more divided and created more problems than we have tried to solve. From justifying heinous actions to just refusing to listen to other people's points of view. We can do better, and you can help. Thank you all so much for listening.
****Also I misspoke Mrs. Waters is a Representative, not a Senator.****
I have attached some links to topics I discussed in the podcast.
