Every video you watch tells TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook what to show you next. And when you constantly consume content about government surveillance, police misconduct, or conspiracy theories, those platforms may keep feeding you more of the same.

On *Now We Defend*, we discuss how these echo chambers reinforce beliefs and how misinformation can turn an ordinary interaction with police into something much more serious.

Are we thinking for ourselves, or are algorithms doing it for us?

Being a police officer today requires a lot more than making arrests.

Chief Matt Millsaps breaks down the three qualities he believes every modern officer needs: understanding their community, being prepared to stop violence, and knowing how to help people who need services beyond law enforcement.
