Why police need to solve for pain more than crime with Garrett TeSlaa
Listen to the UNcivilized Podcast:
Perspective. Every story has more than one side, and every side should be listened to in order to figure out a solution.
When we talk about justice the first thing that comes to mind is the police, but recent news has shown the police as the bad guys in the story. To listen to both sides, and make your own criteria, today's guest is Garrett TeSlaa. Garrett is a veteran cop at the police department in California. In this episode, he shares what a day in the life of a cop is like and the risk that comes with it. He also shared with us his insights on subjects such as police defunding, qualified immunity, and military training.
