National Security Page #3
I'm calling this off. This is crazy...
Like it or not, Rafferty violated his rights.
People won't look the other way.
We can't go through this again.
Drop the prosecution and I guarantee
you got a riot on your hands.
Earl, do you work?
Do you have a steady job?
Yes, I work. I work in security, man.
- Ah.
- Until I get back in the academy.
- I see.
- You know what?
- Y'all need to investigate them...
- Mr. Montgomery...
...all allergies aside,
did Officer Rafferty assault you or not?
How many times I gotta say it?
All right. Let's get down to business.
Superior Court is now in session.
Please be seated.
The state of California
versus Henry Rafferty.
Case CV-34259.
Honorable Marsha Gailey presiding.
At this time the bee appeared.
Right here. There it is. It's coming in.
You can't...
You can't really see
it on the tape, but it's there.
Okay.
I'm swatting it with my stick.
There I am, stomping on it,
with the heel of my boot.
Kept missing it.
It's not a good angle.
bumblebee at the time of the incident?
No, I'm not.
- There was a bumblebee present, man.
- Oh, good.
And there were birds chirping.
There were dogs barking.
For all I know there was a chipmunk
in the bushes, humping a turtle.
You gotta be careful with them
chipmunks. They'll hump anything.
This is no laughing matter,
Mr. Montgomery.
Look, man, I came here for justice.
Okay, that man right there?
That man harassed and choked me.
He used excessive violence...
was not a bumblebee, sir.
I know the score.
It's not the first time I been
pulled over for DWB.
- DWB?
- Move to strike!
- Kiss my ass.
Will the defendant please rise?
The jury has found you
guilty as charged.
You are hereby sentenced to serve
six months in a state penitentiary.
Murphy. Okay, move along.
Keep it moving.
You must be that white cop, huh?
Beat up the black guy.
- What makes you say that?
- Them.
Oh, man.
Hey, se.
Save your strength.
You're gonna need it.
- You look cute, baby.
- Get going.
Look, don't mess with me or I'll
throw your ass in solitary.
All right, let's go.
You're out of the hole.
- Hey, how long have I been in here?
- Three months.
Congratulations.
You are the graduating class
of this third week of August.
Many people don't make it through
both days of intense training.
You are the elite.
Wherever you go, you'll be
part of this special fraternity.
You're equipped with everything
you'll need to do your job:
Flashlight.
Pepper spray.
And if things get really nasty...
...a coin holster full of quarters,
so you can call the police.
