In this episode, in the In Tha Trenches, we discuss the elephant in the room being Black and Blue.  Our special guest is not only a law enforcement officer but an author and entrepreneur, Officer JT.  We hit him with complex and raw questions from our listeners about this topic. Officer JT brings out the real and straight hard-hitting answers with no hold bar that relates to what should be known, what to do, how to handle law enforcement officers and his goal to bridge a community to understand black and blue.  It is important to understand your rights when facing law enforcement.  In meeting this standard, one must be willing to read and study the law not go by what is heard or word of mouth.  We have found that doing so does not help but hinder the matter in the wrong direction.    All citizens have rights but it is up to the citizen to know the rights, not the law enforcement to tell you your rights.  This is backward and is a cycle of never being able to walk on the path of freedom.  Citizens should understand that not all police officers are against them but for them.  In opening your mind determine the type of officers that you are being approached as well as the type of person you are in and how to handle the situation to be able to make it home safely.  Officer JT gives a lot of information on how and what to do when facing a black officer as well as an officer that is not black.  He gives us the straight talk on the matter.  Timecodes Listen and let us know...Share, leave a comment, and subscribe.  Check out the links: Website for Merch: https://inthatrenchespodcast.com/store/     Let others know that you are part of Tha Trenches with various merchandise.Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/inthatrenchespodcast Check out our website: www.inthatrenchespodcast.com    Join our communities: Facebook - @jassieminthatrenches  Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCky87-mZrt5chjaZ-V6C7bAInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/inthatrench...  Tumblr - https://www.tumblr.com/blog/inthatren...  Pinterest - https://www.pinterest.com/inthatrenches/   Join the In Tha Trenches Podcast Discord: https://discord.gg/7AdZvp9eTweet Me! @tha_podcast  Text Me! 281-892-1149   Our email: [email protected]   We would love to hear from you so please leave a comment on what topic or issue you would like for us to discuss.
