#146 Blake Cook - America's Scapegoats: The 365-Day Service That Never Stops

Day one, I wore my first uniform, and then I would wear that again on my fourth day. But day one, two, and three, I always had fresh uniforms. On my day off, the first thing I did is I took them to one of the shops and had them pressed. They're all tailored to my body because I wanted to present myself as if you fuck with me, I'm gonna kill you. If you try to kill me, I'm gonna kill you.

You're not gonna kill me today. I'm the wrong one. I'm gonna do everything lawful. I'm gonna do everything I can as a professional to keep you alive during our interaction. But the moment you try to take me off this earth, buddy, I'm coming. And it ain't gonna end well for you. I'll give you the utmost respect.

Everybody I encountered, I treated it as if it was my mother, my father, my brother, my sister. I treated them as a family member and as a United States American citizen because they deserved that. Now, the moment you cross that line, then we're going, we're doing it. Whatever you want to do, but you better be ready because I'm ready.

And I try to harp that to law enforcement, to, hey man, use this as a motivation, get in shape. Go to the gym, man. Quit eating bad on duty. Be presentable. That will keep you alive. If bad guys, right? I heard you ask the sheriff. Mark Lamb. Yeah, Sheriff Mark Lamb. Love that dude. What's a good way to prevent people from entering in your home and things like that?

Security cameras, anything that bad guys will not, you'll never become a victim if they feel like that there'll be any resistance. They only pick easy targets, man. Wolves don't attack other wolves. They attack sheep. They kill animals that can't protect themselves. Single, right? If it's a single wolf, they're not going to try to kill a grizzly by themselves. They know they're going to lose.

So they'd rather go get the sheep. I wanted to present myself as if you mess with me, you're getting all of me. And it's not going to end well. And that's how people, if they just put ADT stickers on glass, that's a deterrent. Floodlights. Anything that they feel like they're going to get caught at all, they won't mess with it. It's only easy targets they prey on. Same with law enforcement.

Yeah, you have a gun. If you look like a badass, you probably can't shoot it. So they're going to test you. I never got tested. I got tested, and I take that back. I've been tested twice. One dude was like 6'6", 280. Brother, I just held on. That was it. That's all you could do, slam you up against the hood of my car.

I just maintained control as much as I could until somebody else came and helped me. But very few times I've been tested. And it's because every day at work, there was nothing on me that looked ragged. Let's talk about that scenario. How did that start? Traffic stop. Dude had outstanding robbery warrant. Pulled him over outside the hospital, Cape Fear Valley Road. Soon as we stop, car door opens.
