I got called down because of the item. Brass knuckles and also a knife.

I never give up. I keep moving forward on everything I do.

If you knew the entire history of how I came to be where I am now, you would understand persistence. I didn't get anything handed to me.

As far as African-American lieutenants, I believe I am the first.

It's a huge responsibility, but I can truly say, I love what I do.

For fans of that record, this is going to be a very cool item. The Soft Bulletin gave us such a different perspective and a new life -- there's a richness there that will be fun to go back and revisit.
