Yeah, that was one of the guys that was a part of the Crips, but again, was robbing other Crips. He was just going against the whole code. So he eventually robbed one of the upper echelon guy's parents. Jeez. And tried to get them to search in the attic. One of the dads in a wheelchair and everything. It was a really pathetic scenario. Jeez.
Just super, super brazen about the way he went about things. And they didn't just kill him.
Essentially was a gang beef, but you do see somebody that's out on the street and I would get a lot of it because they're just testing me too. They just think I was naive in the beginning until they thought that I was some kind of big timer. They'd say, man, I got this kilo, 11K and get it. And I'm thinking, who'd you steal that from? Yeah. Cause it's too cheap. Is that what that is? Yeah.
That's somebody that steals your car and then tries to resell it at a 10th of the value just to unload it. No, thanks.
I'm going to assume that's a lot because it sounds like a lot. That was part of my motivation to get into the narcotics unit because, again, I'd been turned down three times. I didn't get into the fourth time. My interviews went great. I knew all the laws.
And so all I could do in order to really get it with the issues that they had and they were looking for a profile is to just outperform and show that I can accomplish this stuff anyway. So then I show up and I say, I have six informants on the books. I've done this many buys. I've done this many warrants. So I would do these small time warrants.
I got a team that's SWAT certified and we'd go do our patrol stuff. And then after patrol, I would show them where I'd made the buys during the shift, and then we'd go hit a house and then tear everything and find all the evidence and whatever. And they were just small-time dope houses that NARCs didn't want to hit because they're looking for bigger stuff.
But it was a good experience for me because, again, we're using hand-me-down SWAT stuff. It's all expired.
Obviously, we didn't take it too seriously.
Yeah, it was obviously not the steel plates, but apparently they replaced all their stuff. And then we took these old used up helmets and whatever. Let's just stay on my Kevlar. Don't worry about it. This old van, sometimes the van would break down halfway on your way to the location, this piece of junk vans. We didn't have much of a budget to work with.
But again, I was just efficient at making either covered buys using an informant or learning how to do a little bit more undercover on a small scale, doing little small deals and then getting into those houses later to build evidence afterwards.
But just the fact that you can drive a van up and get in the stick and execute it, a dynamic search warrant, kick the door down and do it was great experience. And that was part of the inspiration, too.
Seriously bad. I don't know where they even got it from, but they were like, here, y'all can use this. Because we were doing a good job hitting these places on a regular basis. And the fact I would go in and make buys on Monday. write the warrant, hit the place on Tuesday, do the catch-up stuff and file the paperwork for my next one on Wednesday and hit another house on Thursday.
And to the point where the hood came to me and my informants were like, hey, they call it Task Force Tuesdays and Thursdays. I'm like, oh, really? Am I that predictable? Yeah, yeah, wow. So that's when we were doing just the small-time stuff, but I was just trying to hit as many places as I could. Again, just to...
When I go in for my interview, I can say, okay, I've got a couple hundred warrants I've done, and this is the case. This is what we've gleaned from those cases. These are my informants. I've learned how to work them. And I'm not working in a bright white neighborhood just trying to bust TCU kids. I just showed that you don't have to fit a profile necessarily to- TCU's college kids?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And those are interesting because those are a little bit sniffing entrapment. When you really are like, nah, I'm completely retired. And you're like, come on, man, just one more time. Just do it. I know you're not doing it anymore. I mean, that's a little bit of a different situation. And it wasn't a cop. It was a snitch anyway, but...
But that was a while ago, too. The 90s, yeah.
A lot of people don't recognize how bad... Marijuana was looked upon back in the 90s, and you go back to the 60s, and there's people doing 20-year stints for a half a pound of marijuana. I mean, obviously, the culture has shifted.
