Brotherhood of the Badge

A teenage girl is shot to death by LAPD officer Brian Culpepper - young, idealistic, a veteran of combat in Afghanistan. The All-News Networks, as well as social media, need little to create doubt, incite anger, and encourage protests, but there's an unseen victim, a victim in the shadows, one seldom mentioned - the cop that pulled the trigger. The Brotherhood of the Badge is not a defense of cop wrongdoing. It is the untold story of those who keep the peace. All too often the police have to defend themselves or others using deadly force. When you carry a badge and gun, and your life is in danger you quickly learn the meaning of the Brotherhood of the Badge. Life is never the same after shots are fired.
