Healing Racism in Schools w Sharla Stevens

Education is vitally important to the progress of any people and nation. Unfortunately many people, in particular, school age student have faced discrimination and racism. The curriculum's, and administrations have sometimes been outright racist or failed to highlight contributions made by members of minority groups. This causes pain and a disconnect between the school system and the communities who are looking to for healing. Ms. Sharla Stevens is healing the harm that racism has caused.

All we get is a day off for Juneteenth?

There is so much more than African Americans and others desire from their Congressional leaders. And all they can ever manage to do is raise taxes and items that benefit the rich and corporations. No police reform, no anti-lynching law, still problems at the border, no consensus on how to investigate Jan 6, and so on and so on.

My Problem with the 2nd Amendment

Texas recently passed a law allowing citizens to carry firearms without a permit. Lawmakers based the law on the 2nd Amendment, but was that amendment meant for everyone? Should citizens be allowed to carry a weapon on their hip with proper training and gun safety knowledge? Lets' discuss.

Hip Hop and Faith - Can They Co-exist? w/ Pasor Stacey Jones

The Black church has always been a beacon and influencing force within the Black community. Considering the current climate within law enforcement many people are looking for the church to help sooth the wounds and get answers. But where does hip hop culture fit in? Growing up I was told that to have love for this world was to be at war with or hate what Christianity stood for. My good friend Stacey Jones has written a book about pastoring hip hip church and keeping the congregants in line with christian teaching.

No Jan 6 Commission - No Surprise - What about Blue Lives?

Police officers and civilians were killed during the insurrection on Jan 6, 2021. Our Congress continues to prove they can't get anything done. The US Senate has voted or refused to vote to establish a bi-artisan commission to determine what happened, why, and how to ensure that another attempted coup or insurrection happens again. Make no mistake, the forces that have enacted, instigated, and developed conspiracy theories have not gone away. They need to be hunted down and eradicated. A commission would find out how deep the rabbit hole goes.

George Floyd: One Year Later, What Have We Gained?

We passed the one-year anniversary of the death of George Floyd at the hands (knee) of Derek Chauvin. As a society,  what have we gained in the long run? People are rioting and our politicians are paralyzed by putting their politics over the people.

Officer Problems are Often Administration Problems

Why does it often take a major incident before some administrative officials go into action? Being proactive before an embarrassing scandal should be the norm. Officers who engage in crazy behavior are sometimes the fault of administrations and department cultures that must change.

Benefits of MMA Training for Police Officers w/ Chris Smith

More and more research is revealing that officers who train in MMA style of self defense are more confident in their approach with citizens. My dept worked with such a trainer, Chris Smith. This was a facebook live (I think my 1st one). We recorded it shortly after the Floyd incident. Watching the Chauvin trial and seeing one of the prosecution's witnesses I realized that  never uploaded this ep as an audio file. Of course the video is on YouTube and my Facebook page (Captain Hunter's Podcast).
