“I went over and grabbed the guy but he broke away and started running. I chased him around all through the cars in that parking lot. I finally wrestled him to the ground and got the cuffs on. Then I shook him. I was so angry. I got right up in his face. I was screaming, ‘That was an eighty year old man. Why would you hurt him?’ It’s not good to get emotional when you’re a cop and shaking him was wrong. But when you see a young, strong guy beating up an old man, it’s hard to control yourself. I don’t know if the older man recovered, but even if he did, he’ll never be the same. He’ll always be afraid it’s going to happen again.” —Kai WongA Sneak Peek of Chapter Nine — Kai Wong
Reading about Kai is worth buying the book Brave Hearts. One of the toughest and gutsiest New York City cops ever.
