Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Sunita Sah (on defiance)

And so he knew the law and he'd just been trained. And then he was with police officers 20 years older than him saying, you're telling us what to do. F it. We're going in. He refused to go in because he thought the homeowner is going to come out with a gun. Yeah. Something terrible is going to happen.

So he said no. And homeowner came down and actually thanked them and everything. So everything was fine. And the ride back to the station for him was just awful. And within an hour, he was called in to see his supervisor. And it was a bit like, read this, you got it wrong. And he was like, no, with all due respect, I knew that we didn't have any standing and we shouldn't have gone in.

And he said to me, you know, his childhood stutter came back. But he knew in this job, it was going to be difficult and he was going to be asked to do some things that weren't right. And because he'd seen the George Floyd thing. Anticipating. Anticipating. He thought, I'm not going to be that police officer. But he was ostracized for a bit.

He said the whole thing went around the station, even though he was right. But he ultimately got transferred to another unit where he said they were younger officers, but they had more understanding of the law. And he's very hopeful and very optimistic about a new era of policing. So that was great to hear. But it also shows that learning from other people, I think, would be wonderful.
