hour training program, I was assigned to patrol on foot as well as in a

vehicle, enforcing the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

A regular police officer's training program is about 1040 hours.

In the capacity of a special police officer, I made numerous arrests for

crimes such as possession of drugs, distribution of drugs and possession

of firearms, although I found an unusual pleasure in making drug arrests,

I also made arrests for incidences such as disturbing the peace, domestic

violence, assault and battery, and various other crimes. Unfortunately,

not all of the people I worked with should have been in law

enforcement. While working at New World, I learned that when given

positions of authority some people abuse it. Most officers at New

World Security tried to do the right thing, but others would simply abuse their authorityand wrongfullytook people’s freedom away. During this

period of my life I became aware of the impact that this authority can

have in changing people’s lives.

Russell had graduated college and was working for a robotics

company called PRI, which required him to travel the world repairing

these machines. Even though he had a good job, he and I continued to

work at Beacon Video, part-time. Russell and I were like brothers. One

day Russell came to me and told me he and the owner of Beacon Video

had discussed Russell buying the video store. Russell knew I couldn’t

afford to put money in with him towards the purchase of the store.

Therefore he made me an offer. His suggestion was that if I agreed to

work at Beacon Video from open to close on the weekends without pay

for one full year; at the conclusion of that year, he would consider me

an equal partner.

Isaid, “Deal” without a thought. Iwasn’t supposed to start this

arrangement until he purchased the video store. We didn’t put this

agreement in writing, because we were brothers, in some ways more

brothers than our own brothers. We always looked out for each other,

even though it was usually Russell who taught me about life’s lessons,

and we simply didn’t think of it. A couple of months later Russell’s robotics job sent him to Italy for four months to work on their machines.

Even though he was thousands of miles away, we stayed in constant

contact and he gave me assignments to handle at Beacon Video. One

day he gave me an important assignment to handle during my shift.

Unfortunately, at the same time Francis needed to go to the

hospital, which caused me to have to get someone else to work at

Beacon in my place. During the following week, Russell called to get

the status of the assignment he'd given me. When I told him I hadn't

done what he’d asked, he was furious. I explained why I wasn't at work

and he simply didn't care. He started yelling at me and we got into a

rather heated argument. I attempted to explain to him why I didn't

complete the assignment in several ways, but he couldn't seem to get my

point. Therefore in a moment of frustration, I said,

“If I ever have to choose between Beacon Video and Francis, “Fuck

Beacon!!!”
