 Two years before Ferguson and the headlines of Ray Rice, Jinho "The Piper" Ferreira, wrote "Cops and Robbers" about an officer involved shooting, as a medium to call for change. "The Piper" of Flipsyde, which toured the world with Black Eyed Peas, Snoop Lion and others, is now also a law enforcement officer, playwright and author. H continues his call for dialogue in America about violence, racism, and sexism. Personal responsibility is core to his message to stop the violence.

Hear the story of how his wife, educator, Dr. Dawn Williams Ferreira encouraged him to create change via "Cops and Robbers." Hear him talk about the purpose of the play to create dialogue and change.
