DP S1:E23 - A Cop's Tale

Paul interviewed Nick - a good friend of the show and a law enforcement officer. Are cops killing and brutalizing, violating our rights whenever they can get away with it? Or are they doing a tough job, putting their lives on the line every day?  There was a time when the only side of the story we heard was the official story. The cop's side of the story. Social media and the 24 hour news cycle seems to have changed that. Now, it seems, we hear every side of the story except the cop's.  Until now. Hear what a real beat cop has to say about all of this.

But dehumanizing the victim makes things simpler
It's like breathing with a respirator
It eases the conscience of even the most conscious
And calculating violator

Words can reduce a person to an object
Something more easy to hate
An inanimate entity, completely disposable
No problem to obliterate
