And I remember it was really, really pretty kind of, I'm guessing it because I was maybe in my early 20s. I'm going to guess this lady was about 30 something, really, really pretty light skinned black lady. And she had some kids and she got she had recently been divorced. And so she got the two kids. She was a son and a daughter. Daughter was about 14 and the son was about maybe nine.

I'm just guessing these ages. And I remember these kids would like be so mean to their mom because the divorce caused them to pick sides because the mom ended up with custody of the kids. And the dad was a pretty violent guy and she would always call if he was coming through. And I remember going and the kids were just so mean to their mom.

After maybe a third recall, there was a call to the residence. I was just about to get off on graveyard of gunfire. And I showed up and the mom was laying on the sidewalk, shot in the face by the dad. And the kids were screaming, my mom, what am I going to do without my mom? I mean, just screaming. You can feel that go through your whole body. But you have to remain professional.

And in my mind, I'm saying, but you never said that to her when she was alive. Why didn't you know? Why didn't you? I didn't say that to them because these kids are going through trauma. Why didn't you say that to them, to her when she was alive? So, you know, when I when I talk to people about policing, you know, it's nice to tell stories. But is there a lesson that I can learn from this?

If someone watches, that's why I really like you, man, because people relate to you, dude. And like there's some kid or someone watching this that's like maybe going through something. And if they can take that away that, you know what, I'm going to say I love you or I'm going to hold back. yelling and being rude to you just because I'm having a bad day, then this, you know, to me is a win.

I agree 100%. And as we get older, I think that we learn how to do it better. But there's so many young people suffering. And I hate to use the term bullying because it sounds kind of corny. But I don't like bullying in any way, shape, or form. There's someone going through something so difficult, we have no idea how.
