On the outside, I demonstrated devotion and affection. I overwhelmed her with lavish gifts of jewelry, clothing, and accessories to show her how much I loved her.
My desire to join the police force grew stronger when my cousin Paco joined in 1986. Then Dale became a cop in 1987. I wanted a badge even more when I learned about the world of privilege that came with it. Paco told me about how chicks love a man in uniform, how he could clear a corner of gangbangers just by getting out of his squad, and how he was able to get into nightclubs for free.

The surge of adrenaline I experienced as I rode, testing my physical limits, helped me work through the issues of my life and gave me room to construct a better future.
