Isaac is young, brilliant and Black. He feels he has experienced discrimination in everyday life and from law enforcement. Last week, Isaac went to meet with members of the Bellevue Police Department to hear them and share his concerns. While Isaac attended protests, he also told every officer he encountered he sees them as individuals. 

On the Todd Herman Show, Isaac responded to Todd’s refrain of “Black lives do matter and that’s why I cannot support the Marxist group, Black Lives Matter, Inc.”

You can also hear why Isaac still respects the badge, even in the face of what he perceives to be a current of frequent, racial discrimination.

Todd loved his visit with Isaac whose Instagram account is right here
