Full Episode
I'm looking at this going, they're on us. What am I going to do? $5 million in my hands right now and you leave because they're coming to get you tomorrow. They never got the guy. what was that point where you thought, I'm gonna start doing, I'm gonna... So, yeah, so what happens is there's little things along the way, little opportunities along the way that you don't take.
Right.
And you're like, damn, I could have took that money or I could have took that drugs, whatever it was, or maybe I could have let this person go or told them, hey, throw me 100, I'll let you go, or if it's for a ticket, if it's... But there's little things along the way that show up. And then the back of your head, you go, I could have just – I could have took something there.
But the good guy in you wins out early on. And then after a while, what happens is this. You get – what's the word? Disenfranchised. You get – that's a bullshit term. Disenfranchised. Like, you know, I'm a voter. I'm disenfranchised. Go vote, motherfucker. Anyway, so – I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I get so fucking – it gets in my vein, these people that complain and sit there on the couch complaining. But so you begin to become – so let me explain this. This is how I would explain it. When you become a police officer, all right, The day you become a police officer, you swear and you take the oath. That's what you do. You raise your right hand, you take the oath and you become a cop.
From that day forward, the job, quote unquote, the job, the department is finding ways to injure you in your position as a police officer. Okay, how so? Constantly. So I'll give you an example. In the police academy, they give you two star cards. What's a star card? I don't know what a star card is, but it's something that you have to carry in your pocket of your uniform.
And if you do something that's an infraction, they take the star card out and write it on your card. And they put the card back in your pocket and you walk on with the day. And at some point, If you get too many write-ups on that star card, you get a demotion or whatever they can do. They suspend you. They could even terminate you.
So the minute you get the job, they're looking to take it from you. Right. Like, if you're a mechanic working in fucking Jiffy Lube, you think they're looking to take your job the minute you walk in, or maybe they're looking to promote you.
