And I saw the world in a different way.&amp;quot;  He went on to describe the first of several ride-alongs he went on with real LAPD officers. &amp;quot;The first ride I went on I saw someone murdered. It changes your life. You don&amp;#039;t come back from something like that and not see the world a different way. &amp;quot;And subsequently, [watching] everything from domestic violence to stolen cars to you name it. And along with the camaraderie and the friendship and the joking and all of that, seeing that for real for five months and shooting for 22 days? And seeing it for real? I won&amp;#039;t be the same in many, many good ways.&amp;quot;  Gyllenhaal recently revealed that he agreed to being tased during his preparation, because he wanted to know how it felt.
