Episode notes
From Rent-A-Cop Reboot: a security professional's best weapon is his mouth. "Please," "sir," and "ma'am" can defuse violence — while calling an adult "boy" or "girl" is, in Samuel's words, "a verbal grenade," written from his perspective as a Black man in the profession. Marcus and Darius make the case that the Golden Rule (Matthew 7:12) is both scripture and tactics: how you treat people IS your strategy, and every leader should retire their verbal grenades.
