QUOTES

13:17 "I can control you up to 99, that 1% I can't control. You going to go crazy, you going to go off, I can't control that, but I can dictate what your actions going to be just through my interactions with you."

26:01 "The problem right now is when for whatever reason, the police suddenly became the bad guy and you take one or two bad apples and the media will not leave it alone. They play that 24/7."

30:47 "I used to be a field training officer. And the first thing I would tell you is this, start down here, because if you start up here, you've got nowhere else to go. You have nowhere else to go... we're our own worst enemies nowadays."

33:37 "15 minutes may not sound like much, but when you're working and going and getting an hour and another hour and a half each week of that, just as the refresher, it keeps your reaction time sharp, it keeps your mind sharp."

36:20 "If you're in an area where it's not great, it's not because of the police. It's not the police that failed you. It's the mayor and the chief. The fish rot from the head first, the commissioner and the mayor."
