Join us in this powerful episode of "Keeping it Real" as I sit down with my son, Aris Scott, to recount the life-altering events of December 2023. Aris, a high school football coach and real estate agent, shares his intense encounter with law enforcement and the shocking aftermath.
Growing up in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and attending Delaware State University, Aris always aimed to positively impact his community. However, one night, while picking up a friend, gunshots rang out, leading to a desperate attempt to evade capture and a tense standoff with police. Aris details the horrifying experience of being chased, tased, and manhandled by officers, despite no one being shot.
