But last fall, he started wondering — have these calls for reform changed anything about the way police are trained? He went looking for a police training conference, and he found the Street Cop Training Conference in Atlantic City in October. The speakers included the right-wing political commentator Tomi Lahren, former law enforcement officers and military personnel. Robert wasn’t allowed to attend — but he did obtain a recording of the conference, and he shares it with us today. You can read more about Robert’s reporting, and listen to his article here .
