Police Perspective; Poet Laureate Honey Bell-Bey

Protests continue across the nation calling for accountability for the deaths of George Floyd and other black people in police custody. On The Sound of Ideas, we'll get perspective from Cleveland's Black Shield Police Association representing minority officers.  And we'll hear from civilians working on police reform. Plus, Cuyahoga County's poet laureate reflects on the last two weeks. Join us.
