The great thing about American Society is that the system of things we live in fosters a never-ending opportunity for engaging in the democratic process. Politicians, or most of them are limited to the number of times they can hold an office, they most certainly must compete constantly to keep that office periodically. The going perception is that this is not the case for members of the legal or judicial system. As for the most part, they are appointed to the positions they hold. Today we visit with an aspiring judge in the Philadelphia, PA District. Attorney Gregory Yorgie-Girdy, who is running for Judgeship while simultaneously representing and juggling several demographic characterizations- a gay African American man, a husband and father to name a few.

Metaphorically of course, when talking about the lives of successful people, invisible are the obstacles, hurdles and tribulations transversed to get to where they are.

Special Agent James BlacknellOne of the most sensitive, hotbed topics in American contemporary culture is police interaction with the citizenry. General consensus indicates disparity, perhaps a double standard in the treatment of different demographics regarding interactions with police. Discouraging is that those differences more often than not involve white officers, and minorities, the result being death, and unnecessary violence leading to public outrage. Conversely, this is the perspective of the average citizen, not police officers -those whose job is to serve and protect. Today we get the perspective of an African American law enforcement official.Special Agent James Blacknell, Gary Indiana native with over 30 years of law enforcement experience chats with Dr. B and Eddy Gee.
