We drove everywhere like this. One of the traffic stops (tag violation) produced the exact same breakneck u-turn and 0-100 acceleration that you described. I know that other drivers we came up behind must have been terrified (I would have been). But this was 2AM, and there were few other cars out.
We're curious to see if they drive the same way for Grancey or if they ease up because she's female.

I guess it's in line with what I expected, just WAYYYY beyond the intensity I was prepared for. They don't actually show us intestines hanging from a ceiling fan after a shotgun homicide, but they talk about it in great detail. They do not glaze over anything.
One of the best parts is that they answer ALL of your questions with blunt frankness. I mean think about it - when can you ever walk up to a strange cop and just start asking questions about homicides and suicides? They would never talk to you because they don't even talk to their families about what they see everyday. But the chief makes them talk to us and it is VERY enlightening.
