A peace officer is any law enforcement official on a municipal, county, or state level. They are entrusted in keeping the public peace. But we’ve seen the opposite, lately, covered by the media. Horrific instances of police aggression–specifically against blacks. In this first episode of a two-part series, I speak with podcaster Rave X, about his personal experiences with the police, overall systemic racism, and law enforcement violence against people of color.

Please come back next week, when I interview police sergeant Khyhisha Zebley in the second part of this important show.
