On today's special episode of Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different, we have a deep conversation about the State of America. The United States of America is facing some meaningful challenges right now, and who better to help us unravel everything than Dr. Cedric Alexander. Dr. Cedric Alexander had a 40-year career in policing, public service, and mental health. He is the former police chief and Public Safety Director in DeKalb County, Georgia. He is also the former police chief of Rochester, New York, where he served as the federal security director in the TSA. Dr. Alexander also served on President Obama's Task Force on 21st century policing. He is also the author of the hit book, The New Guardians: Policing in America's Communities for the 21st century. Now, you often see Dr. Alexander on TV, or even up on a stage giving a speech. But unlike the TV where you only get a few minutes with him, today we go deep in an incredibly thoughtful conversation in a way that you only can on a real dialogue podcast. Dr. Cedric Alexander on the Upcoming Elections The conversation started off on the topic of the upcoming midterms on 2022, and the subsequent presidential election on 2024. Particularly, on whether people could expect violence during these times, with regards to the events that unfolded last election. Being a former lawman himself, Dr. Cedric Alexander can't help but think about it as well. With regards to what happened in the 6th of January in 2021, it has certainly created a great deal of pause and concern for the country. As for his perspective, Dr. Alexander thinks that there is too much politics and taking sides involved that the Right and the Left are so divided. He finds it difficult to take sides with one or the other, because his concern and ideas require both sides to work together to fix the nation. “It's very difficult to me for me to take sides with one over the other, because I think politics get played all the way around. What I'm concerned about is not their politics, but this nation as we know it.” – Dr. Cedric Alexander Sit Down and Talk When asked if there is a chance for both sides to have a more civil dialogue as opposed to inciting violence whenever they don't get the desired results, Dr. Alexander has this to say: “My thought is that both sides of the aisle, in my humble opinion, struggle for good leadership. Leadership that is not grounded in the party you belong to. Leadership that is grounded in the fact that we have to work together to find a way, or we're going to continue to be in this very risky posture that we are in right now. “ – Dr. Cedric Alexander In order to avoid a repeat of what happened on January 6, it's going to take leadership coming from both sides of the aisle. Not political leadership, but humanistic leadership. A leadership with proper morals, and one that comes from the heart. The Perpetuation of the Election Fraud Claims They then talk briefly about the continuous perpetuation that the election was stolen, despite numerous proofs and actual recounts done in some states. Dr. Alexander says that this is a dangerous precedent. “We're almost at a point where even if I show you that clear evidence of anything, is still not believed. That is dangerous, brother.” – Dr. Cedric Alexander According to him, this also all boils down to leadership problems, as some of the leaders themselves are perpetuating this belief, in order to curry favor or not be ostracized by their party.
