3 Cops Talk - Rebuilding Community Trust

In the sex trade, it's been long said that "prostitution is the oldest known profession" and that "pimpin' ain't easy."  However, both modern-day technology and mindset has definitely added to the demands placed upon its victims while making it much easier for traffickers.  On this episode we're joined by a retired 25 year police veteran and domestic sex trafficking expert, Heidi Chance of A Chance For Awareness. You’ll hear that Heidi is tireless in her mission to increase awareness and combat all aspects of sex trafficking in the United States. If you'd like a sex trafficking indicator list sent to your email from A Chance For Awareness, please text, "awareness" to 33777. A Chance For Awareness:https://www.achanceforawareness.com/Chance Consulting:https://chanceconsultingleo.com/Email: 3copstalk@gmail.comWebsite: https://www.3copstalk.comYoutube: https://youtube.com/channel/UCFWKMerhChCE6_s5yFqc4awFacebook: 3 Cops Talk | FacebookInstagram: https://instagram.com/3copstalk?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

After nearly a decade of activism and civil unrest ignited by the often false narratives perpetuated by the corporate media and certain activist groups, we discuss why a recent, fact-based and particularly disturbing police misconduct incident in Mississippi has not garnered the same attention and disobedience, despite having all of the earmarks needed to generate similar demands for police accountability and solutions to these issues.While we provide no quarter for the officers and the police leaders involved in this incident, we also question the motives behind the relative silence from the usual sources of outrage. Email: 3copstalk@gmail.comWebsite: https://www.3copstalk.comYoutube: https://youtube.com/channel/UCFWKMerhChCE6_s5yFqc4awFacebook: 3 Cops Talk | FacebookInstagram: https://instagram.com/3copstalk?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
