July 1976

Jimmy Zee and Brice were walking out to the parking lot at Munch’s, their favorite breakfast spot on the south side, when a pale yellow Mustang whipped into the spot beside Brice’s cruiser. The teenage driver opened his door, banging it into the side of Brice’s unit.

Without missing a beat, Brice reached into the car, grabbed the kid by the neck of his T-shirt and hauled him to the pavement. “Hey, asshole, look what you did!” He pointed at the fresh ding in the cruiser’s paint job.

The kid, with long, greasy hair touching his shoulders, squirmed to try to escape. “Fuck off. That was already there.”

Brice tightened his chokehold, nearly lifting the kid, who weighed maybe ninety pounds, off the ground. “You just damaged police property, you little turd.” He glanced over at Zee. “You saw that too, right, Officer?”

Zee dropped his cigarette butt to the asphalt, crushing it with his heel. “Yeah, man.” He glared at the kid. “Don’t ever do that again. You understand?”

The kid’s face was alarmingly red.

“Come on, Brice,” Zee said, putting a hand on Brice’s shoulder. “Let him go. We gotta get back to work.”

In reply, Brice put his hand on the back of the kid’s head and shoved him facedown against the hood of his car. “Hey!” the kid squawked. “Police brutality!”

Brice grabbed a handful of hair and smashed the kid’s face down again, hard.

“Come on,” Zee said, tugging urgently at Brice’s arm. Two women stood just outside the doorway of the restaurant, staring in horror at the unfolding scene. “We gotta roll.”
