Anwar Sanders is an African-American police officer who feels as though he lives a double world. This is a vey interesting perspective with the events that have been occurring lately in our country. His double world is that of a black man, and that of a police officer. He makes remarks about how he is followed around convenience stores because the owner is suspect of them committing a crime, to old women being scared of him walking past with bags because they are scared he will take them. But little do these people know that just hours prior, he was protecting them from harm in the streets.
Anwar Sanders spoke out and gave the U.S a very interesting perspective of a man who lives a double life. One of fear, and one of protection. Here is the link to the cnn interview, it is truly moving.
