Episode notes

This week we turn over our unsung hero segment to a listener with an episode from our sister podcast, Hidden brain. Today's story comes from vige berry who has mild cerebral policy and occasionally trips and falls. Vige: Loyalty is sort of baked in all of us. It's part of human nature to want to be loyal. But loyalty can be reframed as a loyalty to your fellow human beings or loyalty to the greater good.

Have you ever been in a position where you had to choose between someone you care about and a value that you hold dear? Maybe you had to decide whether to report a friend who was cheating on an exam, or a co-worker who was stealing from the tip jar. This week, we tell the story of a Detroit police officer who found himself in this sort of dilemma, forced to choose between people he loved and the oath he swore to serve his community. What happens in our minds when we have to decide what is right and what is wrong?
