Mick Unplugged
Sergeant James Booker on Integrity, Prison Politics, and Leading with Character

Because I could only imagine, I know if I was going through something like that, someone who knows me as an employee first, someone who will supervise me secondly, and someone that I call a friend would be there for me. Because as we know, most times when it's time for someone to help you row that boat, they ain't there. You're riding in the boat as long as the motor running.

If you got to get out and row, I don't know if I can help you. Or I'm afraid to deal with you because I don't want something blowing back on me like you asked me earlier. Well, I know I'm an upstanding guy and I know I've always did everything to the best of my ability with the Sheriff's Department. And I don't see where it's a conflict for me having a friend. This is a friend. This is not me.

This is not someone that I don't know. And let's be clear. He went to court. He was exonerated. So why wouldn't I have a friend? Why wouldn't I help his family if I can? Why wouldn't all of his friends help him? Because he helped so many. See, that's the thing.

You know, if people would, like, totally be honest, and this is why, like, I always tell Raymond, I don't associate myself with only a few people. And I learned this in life. I learned this in life. And I always say if I took my jacket off and you could see my back, you'd see knives, lies, spoons, forks, bricks, shovels, trucks, you name it. It's all been in my back.

So I've learned, and like I share with Raymond, learn to separate yourself and only feel yourself with people who can feel you. You can't give yourself to the world because the world don't appreciate you. If you're a person that's always giving, a person know a giver, they'll use you up. Don't take advantage of that. So you got to protect yourself by saying, you know what?

I'm only going to be around people. I know if I pick up the phone and I call you and if I need $1,000, there's no question why I need it. I know the money coming. I know it's coming. And there's no question. And there's no question, hey, when you going to pay me back? No, you get it back to me when you need to.

So, I mean, that's the world that I try to let Raymond share in the fact that look at my life. You see why I don't deal with a lot of people. And I did that on purpose to get you in a place with your story that you're dealing with and what you're going through. Everybody don't need to be a part of your journey because everybody don't know what you're going through.
