This! See this documentary. Incredible
Unbelievable. Only in America! Well-done
Great redemption story mixed that exposes the NYPD
As a whole, it's a great and honest story of a young man that goes astray, finds a new path and life and succeeds in a way he never thought possible.
Also a story of the many problems with the NYPD of that time (and probably now).
The fact that his former partner said he never had a Black partner was astounding.
How was that possible in NYC?
Also reveals how the NYPD is institutionally against any kind of change and that if he never came out, speaking against the abuse and corruption in the system, his past never would have come up.
Pegues is a true redemption story and about overcoming any and all obstacles, including self imposed ones.
I did love the support he got from his old friends, none of whom tried to ruin him or his rise.
