This powerful testimonial shares Jonny McCoy’s life-changing experience with injustice. Once a successful insurance lawyer who trusted the legal system, Jonny’s worldview shattered when he was wrongfully arrested for simply asking police officers a question. His brief, but uniquely traumatic experience in jail continues to haunt him to this day. Despite eventual exoneration, Jonny received no apology, and those responsible faced no consequences. His story illustrates how government authority can violate the principle of “Human Respect.” Jonny has since dedicated his life to helping others who suffer from similar trauma and those who struggle with addiction through his mental health app White Flag, Jonny advocates for applying Human Respect in all areas of life, including law enforcement and governance.
