Brother Polight sat down once more with DJ Vlad to speak about policing in America and how “common customs” have influenced the culture. En route to a toy drive in Cleveland, OH, Polight was stopped and harassed by LAPD for the second time in a matter of days. He explains the incident and how he feels he and a friend were profiled and treated unfairly, and why he decided to take legal actions against the system. He speaks with Vlad about his encounters with police having been negative since before he moved out of “the hood.” The pair also delves into the policies that may turn away people of color from becoming officers and how that shifts the participation in politics.
