The Uncompromising Life, Lessons and Legacy of Top Cop Clarence Edwards! - 7/10/2024

Nkechi Episode 90

Clarence Edwards grew up as a Black youth in segregated Washington, DC with no interest in policing, yet ended up becoming a nearly 40-year veteran in law enforcement. He joins Human Rights and Justice host Nkechi Taifa in Episode 90 addressing a myriad of issues ranging from the need that policing be reinvented and repurposed from enforcement by law of the Fugitive Slave Act and Jim Crow laws of yesterday, to police killings and brutality today (including the most recent caught on video Hyatt Regency Milwaukee death) -- to his views on Trump’s MAGA, whether democracy as we know it is in jeopardy, and the 2024 presidential election. His commentaries are full of anecdotes, sage wisdom, and life lessons!
