TMP 107 Mark D. Barker Blows His Cover

The former officer shares his view from behind the badge to the latest horrific realities inflaming the Troubled Nation. Topics include a crime surge, naming rights, a dinner outing, mask innovations, top 10 lists, a benefit, a drill mishap, a delivery, Casey McAllister, shadow forces, the five families of Daytona, pain clinics, Rick Scott, a pivotal event, a youth group, Will Smith, Mardi Gras at the Circle Bar, Chris Rose, “Scarface,” cartel time, the Keys, procedure, riots, due process, a new generation, and much more.
