Mike Moy shares his journey from being a former member of the Fuk Ching gang to becoming a police officer. Moy describes the meticulous attention focused on Chinese gangs after a tourist's death in Chinatown heightened police scrutiny. Despite being ensnared in the criminal world, Moy had numerous encounters with the law, which left him contemplating his choices and questioning his path.
A pivotal moment for Moy was reading about Officer Steven McDonald, who forgave the teenager who left him quadriplegic. This event prompted Moy to reflect deeply on his life and the circumstances that shaped him. Despite the challenges, Moy resolved to leave the gang world, initially considering the military as an escape route before opting for the police force. His motivation was fueled by childhood experiences where police officers were portrayed as heroes, a sentiment solidified when officers once saved his mother.
