KF: Did anything crazy happen on your drive-alongs?

DM: Well, we hung out with gang members, and this one cop took me along. We pulled over these gang members, and we talked to them for a half hour. At the end, the cop said to me, "You know that was a little strange for me because I killed his brother." Boy, I wish he told me that before we pulled them over!

We went to the projects, and we were talking to drug dealers and gangbangers. It was definitely very valuable for me.
