How two bitter enemies became friends

A police officer in Milwaukee and a man who spent years in and out of jail have formed an unlikely relationship. It's a story that shows how a little trust can turn an enemy into an ally. Steve Hartman reports.

    This reminds me of one of my story's from when I was a young patrol officer. I had arrested a guy I'll name Greg, who was about 15 years older than me. He was driving on a suspended license, and with the conviction of the arrest I made, he would become a felon. I arrested Greg for the charge, drove him 20 minutes to the county jail facility, and started the process of booking him in. Sure enough, he had two prior convictions for driving while license suspended or revoked. As I looked through Greg's conviction list (all traffic related), I asked him about those prior convictions, and why he didn't have a valid license. It turned out, and I was able to later confirm it, Greg was originally suspended for driving a car belonging to a friend which had no insurance coverage. Greg had struggled for a long time to keep his employment so he could keep his family in a home and with food, and was eventually able to save just enough money to purchase a cheap car. He got insurance for it, but before he could get his license reinstated, he was stopped for a minor traffic violation and was charged for driving on a suspended license. When I asked him why he had been driving, he said he was on his way to work. His second conviction for the same charge stemmed from the same thing. It had never occurred to him, nor offered by the courts to try to plea to a lesser offense so he could avoid the points on his license and try to get legal. Then he had the unfortunate luck to meet me. Every cop has their own special skill. Some can sniff out drivers with drugs in their car from a mile away. Some can sense a driver with an active warrant. Me? I had the uncanny ability to find people with licenses that were either non-existent, suspended or revoked. I was diligent in my work, and made sure to take the appropriate actions with all of them, including Greg. However, listening to him tell me he was facing the possibility of becoming a felon, simply because he was driving to or from work just didn't sit right with me. I had to book him in, however once I was done, I told the jail I was releasing him on his own recognizance. I then drove him back to town, and took him to lunch. When his court date came, I did not show up. When I was contacted by the prosecutor's office, I told them the case should be dismissed. Eventually it was, and Greg was not forced to pay any court costs. He was subsequently able to get his license reinstated and put that chapter behind him. Afterward, we met lunch a few more times, but I will never forget how I almost caused Greg to have a felony record, simply for driving to work to support his family. A little compassion can go a long way. After that incident, I was still known to perform more traffic stops than all my fellow officers combined, however I gave twice as many warnings than I did tickets. I'm retired now, but I'll never forget Greg and the impact he had on me.

    I really like this , I’m an x-con I’ve done most of my 20’s in a cell my wife is also and she has actually done more time than I have. But we have both turned our lives around. We have careers now and both of us bring in 6 figures.. which I never in my life thought would have been possible. If you would have told me my life was going to be this way 10 .. or even 5 years ago I wouldn’t have believed it! I love stories like this! I also have a family member in law enforcement he actually just became an officer about 2 years ago during my transformation back into society. So that also kind of snuck the love and respect for our police force into my heart which I never thought I would have either. People change , people grow , you just have to believe! ❤️

    I just love real-life stories like this. It just goes to show you that once you get to know somebody and all of their sides, you can make good friends. It is the uncertainty and fear of not knowing someone who is different from you that causes a lot of hatred like this. And the cop/parole officer can easily get into a rut, where he is simply playing a role and tuning out the humanity of a person.

    I first want to say this is how the news should be. I feel yes we do have a huge race problem, but at the sametime we also have the media who lie and make things even more worst than what it is. Not every criminal should be judge for the rest of his/her life unless they're a murderer or child rapist. We need to give people a chance and better opportunities. I know relationships between cops and the people will get better the moment these departments do some cleaning and people are willing to sit down and talk things out.
