1:25:00
Just anything he could do
to make a joke and cut up out there.

1:25:03
He was just really having a good time.
1:25:09
The kid scares me.
1:25:12
To think that he could actually be
out there, walking the streets...

1:25:16
and Dallas County let him go.
1:25:19
The kid had seven crimes
coming down on him.

1:25:23
He had armed robberies.
He had firing on a peace officer.

1:25:27
He had breaking and enterings,
aggravated assaults.

1:25:30
God knows what all this kid had.
1:25:32
And Dallas County gives him
complete immunity for his testimony.

1:25:35
Just lets him walk.
1:25:47
My mom had a good phrase.
1:25:49
She said the first night
she pulled into Dallas, it was raining...

1:25:53
and that it was lightning.
1:25:55
And they're coming into Dallas...
1:25:57
and she said if there was ever
a hell on earth, it's Dallas County.

1:26:03
She's right.
1:26:16
You deal with people who you sense
bad vibrations, more or less.

1:26:21
You feel, this guy doesn't like me
anyway because I'm a policeman.

1:26:24
You can just kind of sense something.
Maybe I shouldn't even be saying it...

1:26:28
because police shouldn't
take these things to the bank.

1:26:31
When you deal with people over
and over, you sense a lot of things.

1:26:35
Talking to David, you don't ever
feel hostile feelings coming from him.

1:26:40
I have never seen David any way...
1:26:42
other than cordial,
friendly to me as he could be:

1:26:47
"Yes, sir." "No, sir." Never disrespectful.
1:26:51
I've never seen the bad side.
I've seen the results...

1:26:54
and I've talked to him about it,
and he's aware of it.

1:26:56
He remembers the bad side.
1:26:59
But I've never seen him
committing a crime...
