It was refreshing talking directly to this conservative ex-cop. My first intuition is that he is a good guy. I think he really wants to bridge the blue divide which is why he wrote The Blue Divide. I think you should buy his book and then contact him directly with your experience. He speaks from a cop’s perspective. While I think he has the empathy I find lacking in too many cops, IMHO he is still covered my stats that are colored by prejudice. I think he agreed with some of my points that some data out there that justify the tenet many cops use in their defense is tainted.
Listen to the entire interview. Those who listened to it live loved it and thought the dialogue was a good start.
