Life After a Fatal Police Shooting - Captain Adam Meyer

In this conversation, Adam A. Meyers shares his journey from military service to becoming a police officer in his rural, Wisconsin, hometown. He recounts a critical incident where he had to use deadly force during a confrontation with a 25 year old mother. After the incident Adam spiralled into a life of substance abuse, sex and putting a gun to his own head. Today Adam is a police Captain, peer support worker and advocate. What lessons did Adam learn, how did he climb out of his own dark thoughts, and what does he want others to get from telling his story?
