But as a trainee, it's like, you're taking all the paper. So I got off training and, uh, Kind of was at this point where I'm like, I really don't know how to find dope. So started hanging out with people who did. But your paperwork skills were, I bet, good. Because of a handful of really good sergeants that bled all over my reports, they made me a good report writer. Yes.

So, yeah, I started learning kind of how to do the actual proactive cop stuff. And I loved it. And I... like a lot of cops do. Unfortunately, I was trying to avoid a lot of the nasty calls, the rape calls, the, um, anything involving sex crimes against children. And it's not so much that I didn't care. It's just that it's really uncomfortable.

I'd say so. And I think a lot of it was you're, you don't want to be that guy who's stuck on a, on a shift killer of a call, right? So you get a rape call and, and this is going to vary depending on what agency you're at, but LA County, you do, you're not calling a detective out. You're doing the whole, the whole investigation upfront, right?

So you're interviewing, collecting evidence, you're doing the whole nine yards and then writing your report, submitting your evidence and shipping it off to special victims. Yeah. So it's a long, long day. And you're not going to be out backing your partners. You're not going to be out doing proactive, you know, sexy stuff. It basically takes you off the street. It does. It does.

And it's got to be done, and it's vitally important, and dispatchers know that. Everybody really knows that, but you avoid those calls if you can, if that's just not your gig, you know? That's fair. And at the time, it wasn't mine, and it wasn't that I didn't care. It was just... Ooh, it made me really uncomfortable and it's going to kill my shift. And I was honestly, it's just selfish.

Like I was being selfish. I wanted to do what I wanted to do and not what I was hired to do, which is go and help people. Um, but fast forward a couple of years in, I'm talking with a special victims detective and he's, um, he's telling me about a case that he's working. And I was like, man, I don't know how you work that stuff. And he was like, I don't know how you don't like it's,
