Amber talks about those awkward, traumatic teen years with Janet Varney on the more-fun-than-it-should-be JV Club podcast: https://www.thejvclub.org/episodes/2020/episode-369-amber-hunt

JV does some mild geeking out on one of her podcast heroes, Amber Hunt (Accused), which mostly manifests itself in JV’s meandering non-questions in an in-the-moment attempt to make herself sound smart. But because Amber is gracious and awesome, turns out, this conversation is dope!

In reporting AFTERMATH, I've learned it's a fool's errand to pretend you know how you'll react in a shooting scenario. This story from the Washington Post is worth reading: https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/it-was-my-job-and-i-didnt-find-him-stoneman-douglas-resource-officer-remains-haunted-by-massacre/2018/06/04/796f1c16-679d-11e8-9e38-24e693b38637_story.html?utm_term=.23d992dd9b1f -Amber

Scot Peterson was one of the most decorated deputies in Parkland, Fla. — until a gunman opened fire at school and he stayed outside.

In Detroit, killers have been far more likely to get away with murder than get caught. That’s why every day, Jessie Green has his gun drawn in his driveway to cover his wife as she comes home from work.

Difficult but important reading.

Some of the police reports released this week that show officers' responses to the mass shooting in Las Vegas reveal more than a Joe Friday, by-the-numbers account of what happened. Some reveal fears, questioning God and their life choice and praying for quick death if they got shot
