I'm able to go ahead and take care of my family, my wife, my new kid coming in two months.

I'm able to take care of my friends.

I'm able to take trips like this whenever I want, move to an island, basically pre-retire myself.

But at the end of the day, dude, it all comes down to purpose.

What fulfills you?

What fills your cup, bro?

And to me, I would be lying if I didn't tell you, dude.

Even though I wasn't making, I would say, one-tenth of the money as a cop that I do now, I was happier as a cop.

Yeah, because I just, bro, I love this shit.

Like I loved investigations.

I loved like flipping informants.

I loved like the action.

I loved just everything, dude.

It's just like the responsibility.

Like there's pride that goes behind serving your community and then just, you know, being a protector, bro.

100%, you know, and you can see the results and how it affects the community, right?

You know, a lot of people, I remember when I first started the job, there would be people like, well, you're only one person.

You're not going to make a difference, right?

Dude, I'll tell you something right now.

I put in so much work within my first six months on the street.
