@ess_trainor @thelindsayellis I have spent more hours riding with cops than I can calculate and this is exactly what most of it was like. It made for a very icy quiet ride when I mocked a lieutenant after he told me he had a good sense for when something was "off" about a car and that's why he ran the plates.

@ess_trainor @thelindsayellis I've also been on the flip side of that. My first ride along we got sent to two 5150s, a meth house cleanup, and a domestic violence call. That shift convinced me that doing that every day would break me.
