We've had broad daylight shootings. Wendy's parking lot, one o'clock in the afternoon, three people dead in a parking spot. It's crazy. Damn. I mean, I pulled up to that scene and they're like, oh, the car left. And I didn't see it. And I saw three bodies. I get out. It's three young black African-Americans dead over drug deal. Just broad daylight. Had one guy, another one.

Broad daylight, smoky bones. Outside of Cross Creek Mall. He was shot five times with a judge, with a .410 shell. I didn't know he was black or white until I felt his dreads. I was plugging bullet holes. Damn. He survived.

Yeah. I couldn't tell his skin color because he was covered in red. He was so bloody. He survived. He's paralyzed, but he survived. It is wild. It was a wild ride, man. There's nowhere else I'd rather have been a cop, though, than that city. That city gave me every opportunity to do everything I wanted. It was a fun place to work. Sounds like it. Yeah, if you want to be a cop, man.

Everybody wants to be in the gang unit. Why? It's fun. You're like cowboys. Oh, shit. Yeah, you're not like the narcs where you, you know, the narcs couldn't show their faces. And, you know, we wear plain clothes. I'd man my hair down and pass my shoulders. Got a beard down to here. Just out there getting after it, man. Fighting crime. You know, there were times where we weren't seen at all.

And then there were times where we would go out at nighttime and just go to work. Didn't take calls. Did what we wanted. And we made a difference. You want to make a difference in your city and stop crime? You go get you about seven good dudes who want to fight crime and tell them good luck and give them a good supervisor.
