Summary

Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report talks to former police officer Brandon Tatum about what it’s really like to be a black cop, the impact of the defund the police movement, and some of the myths surrounding police shootings. First, Brandon discusses how BLM has trained the black community to be unwilling to hear any other viewpoints beside their own and why his comments were deleted from the Revolt Summit. Next, Brandon discusses how morale in police departments has declined and led to a pull back of proactive policing, causing a crime spike in major cities. Finally, Brandon debunks some of the myths surrounding the cases of Michael Brown, Breonna Taylor, Jacob Blake, and Ma'Khia Bryant and why you probably haven’t heard of the case of Andrew Coffee IV.
