Absolutely true. I rolled on a drug sweep once, out in Fort Morgan.

(Rural America has been plagued with meth for a very long time.)

I took pictures of the cops kicking the doors and charging in to arrest people, but I did it from 30 yards away while peeking around the side of the wall of a building.

The time I put a cop away, I did it after a tip from another cop and, while I knew the guy, I didn't go and talk to him, personally.

I just tried to call him on the phone for a comment.
