Summary
Chris Stothers was an officer in Northern Ireland and was a part of the new rebranded police force, the PSNI, which had replaced the RUC. But this period of peace time policing was anything but, and Chris ended up shot in the stomach at point blank range by dissident republicans during a protest in 2010. In this episode Chris tells his story, and talks about life after policing. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
