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.

I get out. He takes off running. He is on me before I know it. I'm fighting him. He's fighting me. Dude's picking me up like a rag doll. Threw me on the hood of the car. And I'm just holding on. Finally, we make it on the ground. I don't have a lot of jujitsu knowledge at all, but I did mess around with it.

So I did know like some control techniques to try to control him, especially keeping him off my gun. That was my biggest worry was my gun. He actually got hands on my gun, but I had my level three Safari Land holster that had the hood And he didn't know how to operate, work that. He knew the button, but he couldn't get my hood. So that holster saved my life. Always have your hood up.

You see a lot of officers, they put the hood down to get shots off faster. Just go train. That's it. Because that saved my life. Then luckily, my zone partner, BJ Bullard, showed up and just came up from behind and just one good hit. The boy went down and that was it. End of the fight. Because... Now it's two on one, chances are over.

He felt a little resistance, a little, I can't compete against two, and he gave up. You know, it's because BJ was a proactive, he was a proactive. He wasn't the first to always initiate, but he would always back you up. He was a good country boy. And he went to the academy with me. You know, it's... I've seen videos where cops just stand there and watch their buddies get beat up.

I don't know how you do that. Because if BJ would have watched me get beat up that day, we would have had to have shot that dude. And then, what would that have been?

I shot an unarmed black man. And that always goes through your head. Especially after... The boy in Louisiana, I think that they killed, the Darren Wilson guy killed. Just started all this years ago, like 2014. What happened there? Remember he robbed the gas station and the officer got out with him and they got into a tussle and he shot and killed him inside the vehicle or something.
