In an effort to break down misconceptions, a school is pairing students with police for a day of intense bonding.
— A high school in New Jersey is trying to bridge the gap between police and students of color who may distrust law enforcement.
Sixteen-year-old Seth De Matas was paired with trooper Mike Guenther."He's a little bit smaller than me," De Matas said of his first impression of Guenther. At 5 feet and 7 inches, Guenther is smaller, but can bench almost twice his partner's weight. It's a relationship headmaster Father Edwin Leahy wants to nourish to improve the fabric and future of their community.
The day of activities is an exhausting experience that hopefully helps strangers to see each other as partners.
