This episode we speak with Robin Powers about the struggles her family went through when her daughter was addicted to Heroin. It's difficult as members of public safety, to remember that people who suffer from drug addiction are human. They have families, they have people who care about them. Yes, initially drug addiction is a choice, but it gets to a point where it's no longer a choice, it's now a way to survive.

Unfortunately, my co-host/side-kick had to work this week. So this one is back to the basics while interviewing Brandon!

Multiple attacks across the country have been made against healthcare workers.
