In this final interview excerpt, we cover how to survive a police encounter in order to “fight another day.”
Joining me for this timely and very important interview is long time friend and colleague, Walter Powell is a Security Guru, and Former 20-year Police Officer.
Walter grew up in the first generation following the civil rights era, and spent 20 years of his career as a police officer. In this day and age, where the world is desperate for context, common sense, and critical thinking, he is uniquely qualified to offer an intelligent perspective on race, police, and what people can do as individuals to become more awake, aware, and enlightened about a variety of issues.
