That conversation that I just heard between you and your mom, that is a mother that cares for her kid. You know how many times I've called parents and the parents find out they had that their kid had dope and a gun on them or they were running from us and they had a gun and the parent on speaker has asked the kid why they didn't run on foot and throw the gun away. I'm saying those parent those those parents don't care for their kids. That right there is a mother that cares for you. You know, you might feel disappointed right now and as you should, but as a man, there's a point in time where you're as while you're growing up, your mindset has to flip and change and quit thinking about yourself and thinking about your family. The last thing I'm trying to do is see you go down this path of life while having a family that cares for you and basically just all the way because of the life choices you're making that don't have to be made. And again, man, if this conversation goes in one ear, out the other, that's on you. But at least I can say that this profession I feel called and led to by the Lord, I have tried to make a difference in your life in this moment that I was blessed to be in. After that, you simply can't hate this guy. All we can say is we need more cops like him and more people like him in this world.
