In this conversation, I speak with Ken Williams, a 20-year veteran of the Brockton Police Department. Williams, who is now a wrongful death investigator, has worked with other officers to form The National Coalition of Law Enforcement Officers for Justice, Reform and Accountability (NCLEO). In this conversation, Williams speaks about the struggles of getting officers to speak out about police brutality, racial profiling and other illegal acts that they witness on the job. The Blue Wall of Silence can be overwhelming and it's important that we use the courts and other methods to help officers gain the courage to speak out when they witness acts of police aggression while on the job.
