I have been on calls in So Cal where there are nearly 300K people in on city and only 13 (single) units on duty. As far as the juicing is concerned, if you are wearing a tailored shirt that grips at least 17 -18" arms, you get a lot of "dude, I ain't gonna mess with you, those are some pretty big arms" ~ that makes less of a chance of guns being drawn and anyone being fatally injured.
This guy has stated many times "they are just like us" ~ well, in reality, they are.
The things he has mentioned are based on human justice.
If you walk up on a car and the dude has white powder on his nose and his old lady is feverishly trying to hide the bag, I mean seriously, do you expect a cop to look the other way?
If you pull over two guys and the back seat is loaded with guns and ammo and both of the guys in the front seat are wearing bullet proof vests, can you NOT put two and two together. It's probably YOUR life they are saving, or your childrens.
Now, if you walk up on a guy who is a big buffed juiced-to-the-gills bodybuilder and he has closed boxes and bags in the back seat, what are you going to do? He is not a menace to society and he is drug trafficking. He may even be a cool dude and have a family. Are you going to jump at busting him? If he straight up tells you "I've got juice in those boxes" you can just say he's a dumbass for not putting it in the trunk and not fixing his tail light.
Cops are not there to ruin people's lives. The only cops that truly have problems are older, dirty cops, or young punks who don't know the game yet.
It's about justice and equality. So many times, you just dont want the perp stinking up your car. You may even just want to see the prostitute get her shit together, knowing that throwing her in jail isn't gonna help anything.
If you operate totally "by the book" (which none of us do at any of our jobs) you will get nowhere. A police officers job is highly unique and unless you've been there, you really have no clue.
Getting home in one piece is the same objective for all of us. Nobody wants to think that today is our last day, but you know what? For cops this is much more of a reality than for the general public.
Think about it.
