The Glass Shield Page #3

the man standing near his window

fired and killed his wife,

Let's get another unit

down to the north end,

Let's get a lineup,

Get the other streets blocked off,

It looks like they used a nine-millimeter,

- I didn't find any casings,

- No witnesses,

And I'm sure you'll notice that

the shot came from down below,

Come here,

Save your judgments

for when you make detective,

In the meantime,

just keep the traffic flowing,

Sir,

I was the second officer

on the scene,

I'm sure I can be

of some assistance,

We don't need a Jewish mother

tellin' us how to do our job,

so you just move on,

- Bush!

- Yes, sir?

- You the first officer on the scene?

- Yes, sir,

Ma'am, do you know what's going on in

your sheriff's department? This will tell you,

- Ma'am, would you like to know,,,

- No, I don't have time,

As you know, the Attorney General's Office

did not agree with

the findings of

the Internal Affairs Commission

regarding charges against this station,

So I'm happy to report that

the four detectives who were on leave

are now back on the force,

Many of you also know two officers

in the city are being sued for $ 7 million

for wrongful death,

The city council is cracking down,

Budgetary reasons,

They wanna take our bullets away,

And as for Officer Collins,

he's involved in a lawsuit,

and many of you

will be asked to testify,

Now, remember,

he's one of us,

so,,, talk to no one,

That's all,

You remember that, J, J,

You're one of us,

not a "brother,"

You know, you oughta learn

how to surf, Know what I mean?

I got your surfboard,

J, J,, I just appreciate you being

my best man more than anything else,

- It meant a lot to me to see you up there,

- Make sure it sticks,

- I look forward to standing by you one day,

- Hope it's catching!

Yeah, well, um,,,

I don't know if I belong

in the department, Pop,

He should quit,

It's dangerous,

It's not the danger,

it's all that B, S, and racism,

Stress gettin' to you, huh, son?

- Reverend Banks,

- Brother Johnson,

Glad you could make it,

I hope you enjoyed the wedding,

- I most certainly did,

- Let me introduce you to my son,

J, J,, have you met the Reverend Banks

of the Greater Green Baptist Church?

- Reverend,

- I know of you,

I'm sure Mr, Massey

told you not to talk to me,

Did you ever ask why?

- Ernie Marshall,,,

- You don't waste any time, do you?

- He was murdered in that jail,

- There's no evidence of that,

And I'm not supposed to talk

about this with anybody anyway,

- I know where you stand,

- On my own two feet,

Excuse me,

Oh, boy,

He always wanted to be a cop,

Hmm,

- Ten on six,

- Hold it right there,

- How you doin' tonight?
