I spend every day seeking feelings of safety and security, still, even as I approach the 40-year mark since it happened.įor the first 10 years of my recovery I couldn’t even speak about the incident without crying and breaking down as a terrified victim of a violent crime.

He asks about the vehicle then says, "You got your driver's license on you, buddy?" As the suspect looks around his car, supposedly for his license, and checks his phone, the officer asks: "You got any weapons on you, brother?" The suspect shakes his head and replies: "No, sir." The officer notes the suspect is wearing an ankle monitor and repeats his request for his ID.
