Most proud to have been able to meet with new public defenders, this week, and answer questions they had regarding policing in general.
Now (and throughout my policing career) in Miami-Dade County @miamidefender1 has always been the consummate professional.
Much respect!
Here's the takeaway from tonight: The United States of America allows convicted felons who have been charged with crimes against the United States to debate the President of the United States...and lie without being fact-checked.

Kevin Briggs is a former California highway patrol officer who has stopped more than 200 people from committing suicide on the Golden Gate Bridge.
When Briggs finds a suicidal individual, he usually starts a conversation with them by asking how they are doing, then asking their plans for the following day.
If they did not have plans for the next day, he attempts to make plans with them, inviting them to come back to the bridge if their plan did not work out at the end of the day.
The image below is from 2005 when Briggs spent 60 minutes convincing Kevin Berthia to climb back over a rail on the bridge. Berthia went on to marry and have multiple children.
Briggs has earned the nickname ‘Guardian of the Golden Gate’ for having saved the lives of over 200 people.
