Good Cop, Black Cop

This week I talk with one of my new favorite people, Chicago native Marquinn McDonald. A martial arts instructor and teacher, I first saw Marquinn on a VNT segment as he tried to decide whether he wanted to join the Chicago Police Department. In the wake of the Laquan McDonald shooting, DOJ investigation and recent threats by President Trump to send in the feds, choosing to join the force isn't a decision to take lightly. Listen as Marquinn shines a light on the realities of living in the shadow of the city's negative perception and tells me what community members like him are doing to change the city and what we all really can and should do to affect lasting change.
