Good Morning, Baltimore! It's October 20th. I'm excited to reveal the first episode of my new podcast, Beyond the Status Quo. This program will be a platform for open and honest discussions about law enforcement, social justice, and other important public policy issues. It will not include the political bickering and finger-pointing, but rather will focus on fresh ideas that challenge the status quo.
