When a veteran of the Brooklyn Center, Minnesota police force confused her taser for a pistol and shot an unarmed black man, the fiery cries for defunding police received more fuel.

Join us on this episode of the Removing Barriers podcast where we explore these questions and more with returning guest and police officer, Officer CigarBro.
