Scott and John have been in an intense dialogue for over a week leading up to this show due to a disagreement they had about a video John shared in the "Race Haven - Community Dialogue" Facebook group that he felt represented progress during this time of police and race related tension. John shared a viral video of police officers and Black Lives Matter protestors and community members dancing together at a barbecue in Wichita KS. John became upset when Scott and several other Race Haven Community Dialogue members expressed skeptism about whether or not the video represented true progress in the fight for police and criminal justice reforms. 

Scott and John have enagaged in phone, text, and Facebook messenger conversations in an attempt to get on the same page. This episode is a culmination of some serious personal reflection by both of them and it tested how much they are truly committed to Solutions Focused Dialogue.  

Welcome To The Dialogue!
