1
00:00:09,843 --> 00:00:11,594
There is too much gossip here.

00:00:11,678 --> 00:00:14,014
AN ORIGINAL DOCUMENTARY SERIES
FROM NETFLIX

3
00:00:16,558 --> 00:00:21,479
This is an article that I wrote.

4
00:00:22,439 --> 00:00:25,900
I started with...

5
00:00:25,984 --> 00:00:31,531
“I checked in with the Flint police
almost 20 years ago...

6
00:00:33,116 --> 00:00:35,952
...because I thought
that I could make a difference.

7
00:00:39,330 --> 00:00:41,583
<i>As an officer, you are a problem solver,</i>

8
00:00:42,208 --> 00:00:46,212
<i>but sometimes it works,</i>
<i>as if the problems never stop.</i>

9
00:00:48,590 --> 00:00:51,885
How can things go so wrong for a city,

10
00:00:51,968 --> 00:00:56,222
<i>that we can no longer see the solutions?</i>

11
00:00:58,558 --> 00:01:01,102
<i>In one of America's most dangerous cities...</i>

12
00:01:01,686 --> 00:01:06,357
<i>...are the ones who must keep the city safe,</i>
<i>more unsafe than ever.</i>

13
00:01:09,235 --> 00:01:10,779
But we continue to work...

14
00:01:12,363 --> 00:01:15,742
<i>...as we did,</i>
<i>when we lost General Motors...</i>

15
00:01:17,035 --> 00:01:19,871
<i>...during the crack epidemic...</i>

16
00:01:19,954 --> 00:01:26,419
<i>...and more recently under</i>
<i>the lead poisoning of Flint residents.</i>

17
00:01:29,589 --> 00:01:35,428
Protecting the city's residents is about
more than crime fighting.

18
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,518
<i>Ultimately there rests</i>
<i>a heavy responsibility on the shoulders of the police,</i>

19
00:01:41,601 --> 00:01:46,815
<i>because they have the power</i>
<i>to either make the city go under...</i>

20
00:01:47,732 --> 00:01:49,526
...or hold it together."

21
00:02:10,463 --> 00:02:11,798
Hello.

22
00:02:13,216 --> 00:02:15,468
Yes, I tell her that.

23
00:02:15,552 --> 00:02:19,097
She will talk to you later,
but I will probably pass the message on.

24
00:02:20,056 --> 00:02:22,433
Okay, I love you. Goodbye.

25
00:02:24,978 --> 00:02:26,479
Okay my friend…

26
00:02:28,148 --> 00:02:32,402
<i>Tim Johnson, Flint Police Chief.</i>

27
00:02:36,156 --> 00:02:41,411
FEBRUARY 2016: FIRST MONTH
WITH THE NEW CHIEF OF POLICE

28
00:02:42,203 --> 00:02:44,622
<i>Two new managers take the job in Flint.</i>

29
00:02:44,706 --> 00:02:50,336
<i>The city has taken Mayor Weavers</i>
<i>new police chief and fire chief sworn in.</i>

30
00:02:50,420 --> 00:02:54,048
<i>They join at some point,</i>
<i>where the city is having a hard time.</i>

31
00:02:54,132 --> 00:02:56,384
The city is suffering from a water crisis.

32
00:02:56,467 --> 00:03:01,180
The city has a bad economy
and staff shortages.

33
00:03:02,765 --> 00:03:07,812
<i>I probably shouldn't say that,</i>
<i>but I'm not here to kiss ass</i>

34
00:03:07,896 --> 00:03:12,025
<i>and make everyone happy.</i>
<i>This job is not about that.</i>

35
00:03:13,443 --> 00:03:17,155
<i>I am not a politician,</i>
<i>I'm a crime fighter.</i>

36
00:03:17,238 --> 00:03:21,242
<i>I can fight crime all day</i>
<i>and go home with a smile on your face.</i>

37
00:03:22,869 --> 00:03:26,456
I have lived in the city for over 30 years,
and most people know me.

38
00:03:27,498 --> 00:03:31,544
<i>Although I have arrested them</i>
<i>or sent a relative behind bars,</i>

39
00:03:31,628 --> 00:03:36,591
<i>then I did it with respect,</i>
<i>and I think the residents understand that.</i>

40
00:03:38,509 --> 00:03:43,348
I saw the report on the Humvee.
When will it appear?

41
00:03:43,431 --> 00:03:47,894
<i>As soon as possible it sounded like.</i>

42
00:03:47,977 --> 00:03:52,857
<i>We have to borrow...</i>
<i>Did you say your brother had a trailer?</i>

43
00:03:52,941 --> 00:03:59,197
- Yes, otherwise we have to send it back.
<i>-We will solve it no matter what.</i>

44
00:03:59,614 --> 00:04:01,950
Okay, we'll see what happens.

45
00:04:03,159 --> 00:04:06,371
<i>For us, the biggest challenge is</i>

46
00:04:06,454 --> 00:04:10,625
<i>achieving results with the scarce</i>
<i>resources available to us.</i>

47
00:04:13,169 --> 00:04:17,382
<i>We need more officers,</i>
<i>considering our workload.</i>

48
00:04:17,465 --> 00:04:19,842
<i>We need more officers.</i>

49
00:04:20,551 --> 00:04:27,558
<i>We are hiring four new full-time employees,</i>
<i>which we pick up at the police academy.</i>

50
00:04:29,310 --> 00:04:31,646
<i>I'm trying to find people in Flint.</i>

51
00:04:31,729 --> 00:04:37,277
<i>The crisis taken into account</i>
<i>is it easier to find people from here</i>

52
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,405
<i>than recruiting from other cities.</i>

53
00:04:48,788 --> 00:04:50,623
Pay attention!

54
00:04:51,624 --> 00:04:57,630
Flint police are sending new recruits
in 16 weeks of basic education.

55
00:04:59,757 --> 00:05:05,305
The police will receive four recruits this year. It is
the city's first police aspirants in three years.

56
00:05:06,973 --> 00:05:10,643
DION REED
THE POLICY CADET

57
00:05:15,898 --> 00:05:17,150
Setup.

58
00:05:19,485 --> 00:05:20,903
Well done.

59
00:05:22,780 --> 00:05:26,326
<i>In fourth grade we had to write</i>
<i>an assignment about ourselves in ten years.</i>

60
00:05:26,409 --> 00:05:28,369
Great, Reed.

61
00:05:28,453 --> 00:05:30,455
Come on, Reed!

62
00:05:30,955 --> 00:05:32,290
Come on!

63
00:05:32,373 --> 00:05:34,876
<i>I was the only one who had a plan.</i>

64
00:05:34,959 --> 00:05:36,794
- Great.
- Good pace.

65
00:05:37,378 --> 00:05:41,883
<i>After high school I wanted to study</i>
<i>to college and become a police officer.</i>

66
00:05:43,301 --> 00:05:45,386
<i>The teacher didn't believe it.</i>

67
00:05:47,430 --> 00:05:51,434
<i>She told my mother that when I turned 18,</i>
<i>would I sit inside or be dead.</i>

68
00:05:52,894 --> 00:05:53,978
Time has passed.

69
00:05:59,442 --> 00:06:04,322
<i>I didn't think I would get the job,</i>
<i>because my mother also applied.</i>

70
00:06:04,405 --> 00:06:05,490
Come on, Reed.

71
00:06:05,573 --> 00:06:10,578
<i>She called and said she was</i>
<i>was hired and so was I.</i>

72
00:06:10,661 --> 00:06:13,998
MARIA REED
THE POLICEMAN, DION'S MOTHER

73
00:06:16,542 --> 00:06:21,422
<i>Officers must build trust so we know</i>
<i>that we can trust each other.</i>

74
00:06:22,590 --> 00:06:24,675
<i>I trust her completely.</i>

75
00:06:25,093 --> 00:06:28,554
You must fully master the technique.

76
00:06:28,638 --> 00:06:33,726
If you only make a half-hearted effort,
then the result will be then.

77
00:06:34,310 --> 00:06:37,897
Here and there, before he can react.

78
00:06:40,650 --> 00:06:46,364
He has always been there for me,
so we trust each other.

79
00:06:48,658 --> 00:06:53,287
<i>Doing this with him...</i>
<i>It feels like it's predetermined.</i>

80
00:06:54,372 --> 00:06:55,623
Push-ups.

81
00:06:55,706 --> 00:06:58,626
- Push-ups?
-Yes, but not really.

82
00:06:58,709 --> 00:07:01,212
<i>My mother can be a little too sweet.</i>

83
00:07:01,295 --> 00:07:05,341
<i>But she'll be fine,</i>
<i>because she can also be a bit mean.</i>

84
00:07:07,051 --> 00:07:12,682
Everyone thinks I will respond to a certain one
way if my mother is attacked,

85
00:07:12,765 --> 00:07:16,561
but I will be at least as tough
towards her like everyone else.

86
00:07:16,644 --> 00:07:20,523
5-16! Serve, protect, support!

87
00:07:22,233 --> 00:07:25,236
STOPPING PLACES ONLY TONIGHT!

88
00:07:44,380 --> 00:07:46,674
- These are good seats.
-Yes.

89
00:07:51,304 --> 00:07:55,850
We met a few months later,
that I started here.

90
00:07:55,933 --> 00:07:59,854
He was to train me for a few weeks.

91
00:07:59,937 --> 00:08:02,482
No, not what you think...

92
00:08:04,817 --> 00:08:08,321
He taught me
and then we worked together for some time.

93
00:08:09,780 --> 00:08:12,575
<i>We were colleagues.</i>

94
00:08:14,202 --> 00:08:16,787
<i>I was a little afraid of him.</i>

95
00:08:16,871 --> 00:08:22,460
He is a hard banana. He has
a big mouth and can be an asshole.

96
00:08:23,336 --> 00:08:25,630
<i>But I liked him</i>
<i>from the beginning.</i>

97
00:08:26,589 --> 00:08:33,387
She sent me a picture
from some event.

98
00:08:33,471 --> 00:08:39,393
He wrote: "Looks like fun."
And I wrote: "Only you were here."

99
00:08:39,477 --> 00:08:41,312
"What kind of..."

100
00:08:43,147 --> 00:08:44,440
Yes.

101
00:08:44,524 --> 00:08:51,322
<i>Even today I have no idea,</i>
<i>how I succeeded.</i>

102
00:08:51,405 --> 00:08:52,615
<i>No idea.</i>

103
00:08:52,698 --> 00:08:55,785
<i>She plays in another division,</i>

104
00:08:55,868 --> 00:08:59,747
<i>but for some reason it works,</i>
<i>so I fight on.</i>

105
00:09:00,957 --> 00:09:02,792
It's fantastic.

106
00:09:11,592 --> 00:09:15,388
<i>We have an attempted burglary in progress.</i>

107
00:09:16,889 --> 00:09:19,308
22, can she still see him?

108
00:09:20,476 --> 00:09:22,395
<i>No, not right now.</i>

109
00:09:24,021 --> 00:09:25,856
BURGLARY IN PROGRESS

110
00:09:25,940 --> 00:09:29,402
<i>The one who called</i>
<i>can't see him anymore.</i>

111
00:09:44,041 --> 00:09:47,128
According to the call, they entered
with a sledgehammer.

112
00:09:54,135 --> 00:09:55,553
Such.

113
00:09:55,636 --> 00:09:59,098
- Is that okay?
-Yes...

114
00:09:59,181 --> 00:10:00,850
are you coming

115
00:10:00,933 --> 00:10:02,435
Piss.

116
00:10:04,061 --> 00:10:06,397
I don't want to cut myself.

117
00:10:07,481 --> 00:10:09,859
Crawl through the fence.

118
00:10:19,702 --> 00:10:21,996
How did they get away so quickly?

119
00:10:26,250 --> 00:10:30,963
-Is it wet?
-Yes, it is damp.

120
00:10:32,048 --> 00:10:34,467
Does it smell of something?

121
00:10:34,550 --> 00:10:36,260
Yes, it smells like cigarettes.

122
00:10:40,348 --> 00:10:42,850
You can feel the heat
from a human.

123
00:10:43,934 --> 00:10:45,436
Cool if they've lost a hat.

124
00:10:50,149 --> 00:10:55,529
We received an anonymous call about,
that they walked around with a sledgehammer here.

125
00:10:55,613 --> 00:10:59,992
- They tried to break open the safe.
<i>-Is it at the workshop?</i>

126
00:11:00,076 --> 00:11:04,789
Yes. They have caused great damage.
They have broken up the safe from the floor.

127
00:11:04,872 --> 00:11:08,125
<i>-You best.</i>
-And it's big.

128
00:11:09,377 --> 00:11:11,337
I must go on.

129
00:11:11,420 --> 00:11:13,672
<i>-Be careful. I love you.</i>
-In the same way.

130
00:11:14,340 --> 00:11:15,841
Goodbye.

131
00:11:21,389 --> 00:11:24,725
I'm filthy.

132
00:11:31,899 --> 00:11:36,070
People say it takes more time,
and I need more practical experience.

133
00:11:36,153 --> 00:11:38,114
I don't know if I want to.

134
00:11:40,950 --> 00:11:46,622
<i>Another reason I applied to the police,</i>
<i>was to become a detective.</i>

135
00:11:48,416 --> 00:11:51,752
<i>To work with</i>
<i>intricate investigations</i>

136
00:11:51,836 --> 00:11:55,840
<i>and solve high-profile cases.</i>

137
00:11:55,923 --> 00:11:59,510
There are many things I want to achieve.

138
00:12:01,262 --> 00:12:05,266
I don't know what career path,
I have to choose, but I will probably…

139
00:12:06,934 --> 00:12:09,562
...work for the federal police,
if i can.

140
00:12:09,645 --> 00:12:13,941
everybody says
that you get good work experience here.

141
00:12:14,024 --> 00:12:17,903
<i>In less than a week</i>
<i>I start with the criminal police.</i>

142
00:12:18,737 --> 00:12:22,741
<i>Police Chief Johnson takes over.</i>

143
00:12:22,825 --> 00:12:27,788
Every time there are changes in management,
everything feels a little uncertain.

144
00:12:27,872 --> 00:12:30,082
You never know what will happen...

145
00:12:33,461 --> 00:12:35,629
We'll see how he goes.

146
00:12:38,716 --> 00:12:43,179
<i>Police veteran Tim Johnson</i>
<i>takes office as police chief in Flint.</i>

147

<i>He started on Monday morning and says,</i>
<i>that there is much to be done.</i>

148
00:12:47,725 --> 00:12:49,727
It's about the people of Flint.

149
00:12:49,810 --> 00:12:52,438
If they don't
can count on the help of the police,

150
00:12:52,521 --> 00:12:56,525
then the officers must
that do not help them are removed.

151
00:12:57,109 --> 00:13:01,405
<i>Police Chief Johnson will not meet</i>
<i>some drastic personnel decisions</i>

<i>The water crisis in Flint will undoubtedly be</i>
<i>one of the topics of debate.</i>

154
00:13:10,289 --> 00:13:13,542
<i>Both Bernie Sanders</i>
<i>and Hillary Clinton has criticized</i>

155
00:13:13,626 --> 00:13:17,630
<i>the republican governor</i>
<i>Rick Snyder's handling of the disaster.</i>

156
00:13:22,051 --> 00:13:23,344
How to...

157
00:13:24,970 --> 00:13:29,433
If I suddenly jerk my head,
then I fell asleep.

158
00:13:39,735 --> 00:13:40,694
Hello.

159
00:13:41,487 --> 00:13:44,240
JAZMIN TUTTLE
DION'S FIANCE

160
00:13:44,323 --> 00:13:48,035
<i>I didn't have a father figure,</i>
<i>when I was a child.</i>

161
00:13:48,118 --> 00:13:53,123
<i>My father is an alcoholic,</i>
<i>but won't admit it.</i>

162
00:13:53,207 --> 00:13:57,336
<i>When I was little, he called and said,</i>
<i>that he would come and get me.</i>

163
00:13:57,419 --> 00:13:59,838
<i>So I packed my things</i>
<i>and waited at the door.</i>

164
00:14:01,215 --> 00:14:02,967
<i>I fell asleep at the door...</i>

165
00:14:04,552 --> 00:14:06,303
<i>...and woke up in the same place.</i>

166
00:14:06,387 --> 00:14:09,848
<i>When we finally meet,</i>
<i>there was always alcohol.</i>

167
00:14:09,932 --> 00:14:12,476
<i>There was always marijuana.</i>

168
00:14:12,560 --> 00:14:15,521
<i>People fought and carried weapons.</i>

169
00:14:16,814 --> 00:14:21,402
<i>I promised myself never</i>
<i>to become like him.</i>

170
00:14:21,485 --> 00:14:24,363
<i>I wanted to be there for my child.</i>

171
00:14:33,414 --> 00:14:38,961
<i>Having a daughter is scary.</i>
<i>Imagine if I don't come home one day.</i>

172
00:14:39,545 --> 00:14:43,007
<i>But I don't do it only</i>
<i>for the local community and for my own sake,</i>

173
00:14:43,090 --> 00:14:47,219
<i>but because she needs to be able to live</i>
<i>a better life here.</i>

174
00:14:47,303 --> 00:14:50,180
<i>Back!</i>

175
00:14:50,264 --> 00:14:53,183
Back!

176
00:14:53,267 --> 00:14:55,686
THE POLICE SCHOOL
WEEK 3 OF 16

177
00:14:55,769 --> 00:14:58,314
Stop!

178
00:14:59,773 --> 00:15:02,568
When you are stressed,
then you get tunnel vision.

179
00:15:02,651 --> 00:15:06,614
This is nothing
in relation to what you will meet.

180
00:15:07,239 --> 00:15:11,994
MATTERS BEFORE THE DEBATE

181
00:15:15,748 --> 00:15:18,584
The protesters will be here.

182
00:15:18,667 --> 00:15:21,462
Commissioner Bernritter leads Group 1.

183
00:15:21,545 --> 00:15:22,963
Everyone must wear gas masks.

184
00:15:23,047 --> 00:15:25,049
Group 2 is led by Pilsbury.

185
00:15:26,842 --> 00:15:30,763
We find a good place for the equipment.

186
00:15:30,846 --> 00:15:34,058
This is our city
so you can park where you want.

187
00:15:34,642 --> 00:15:38,312
I think about what could happen
but hope for the best.

188
00:15:38,395 --> 00:15:42,858
You know how important it is.
This is our town.

189
00:15:43,442 --> 00:15:47,780
If something happens that you cannot do
handle, then contact a superior.

190
00:15:47,863 --> 00:15:49,990
This is our city
so we have to be in control.

191
00:15:50,824 --> 00:15:53,661
Back!

192
00:15:54,828 --> 00:15:59,375
<i>Ladies and gentlemen,</i>
<i>Democrat presidential candidates!</i>

193
00:16:02,586 --> 00:16:08,300
If it becomes necessary to use tear gas,
then it is the responsibility of the state police.

194
00:16:08,384 --> 00:16:12,846
Pick up the mask. Keep your chin up
left hand and put it on with the right.

195
00:16:12,930 --> 00:16:16,308
We have come to Flint,
because the city is in crisis.

196
00:16:16,392 --> 00:16:20,229
Here in the city is the drinking water,
as you probably know, poisonous.

197
00:16:21,647 --> 00:16:23,899
The demonstrators are behind.

198
00:16:23,983 --> 00:16:27,653
Keep them right where they should be.

199
00:16:27,736 --> 00:16:31,991
We are waiting,
until they reach the sidewalk there.

200
00:16:32,074 --> 00:16:34,493
This is our limit.

201
00:16:34,576 --> 00:16:39,123
Those who do not go back, we arrest.

202
00:16:40,457 --> 00:16:42,751
Then they have to take the consequences.

203
00:16:44,586 --> 00:16:48,340
-I'm voting for Hillary.
-Are you taking the piss out of me?

204
00:16:48,424 --> 00:16:51,885
- That does not apply.
- Hell no, I'm voting for Trump.

205
00:16:52,553 --> 00:16:54,638
I would never vote for those women.

206
00:16:54,722 --> 00:16:58,642
-Why not?
-She's lying.

207
00:16:58,726 --> 00:17:01,353
Bill opted out of her.
Shouldn't we do the same?

208
00:17:01,437 --> 00:17:03,605
I'd rather take a bullet to the forehead.

209
00:17:03,689 --> 00:17:06,567
The FBI is investigating her.
Why should she become president?

210
00:17:07,151 --> 00:17:10,863
Everyone who speaks out
do it at your own expense,

211
00:17:10,946 --> 00:17:14,783
not as representatives
for the police in Flint.

212
00:17:14,867 --> 00:17:16,660
Exactly!

213
00:17:17,745 --> 00:17:19,788
-What do we want?
-15!

214
00:17:19,872 --> 00:17:21,081
-When?
-Now!

215
00:17:22,207 --> 00:17:28,005
<i>If you become president, how will you</i>
<i>then regain my trust in the authorities?</i>

216
00:17:29,548 --> 00:17:31,091
<i>That is a fair question.</i>

217
00:17:31,175 --> 00:17:36,764
The responsible politicians have failed you,
your children and the people of Flint.

218
00:17:41,018 --> 00:17:47,399
The governor here must know
that his neglect of duty is irresponsible.

219
00:17:47,483 --> 00:17:49,860
He should go off.

220
00:17:52,446 --> 00:17:55,407
Out with the governor!

221
00:17:56,075 --> 00:17:59,661
<i>Regarding crime fighting,</i>
<i>then the police must be strengthened.</i>

222
00:17:59,745 --> 00:18:02,623
<i>Body cameras, no racial profiling...</i>

223
00:18:02,706 --> 00:18:08,837
<i>We must do everything to improve the relationship</i>
<i>between the local community and the police.</i>

224
00:18:08,921 --> 00:18:12,716
We want more pay!

225
00:18:13,884 --> 00:18:18,680
<i>I would drop militarization</i>
<i>by local police authorities.</i>

226
00:18:23,727 --> 00:18:28,899
<i>What's happening in Flint</i>
<i>is happening all over the country.</i>

227
00:19:07,980 --> 00:19:09,231
Flint...

228
00:19:10,315 --> 00:19:16,113
...home town of different ethnicities
and cultures...

229
00:19:17,406 --> 00:19:20,742
...where everyone has fallen victim to
the same poisoning.

230
00:19:20,826 --> 00:19:22,578
-Amen?
-Amen.

231
00:19:22,661 --> 00:19:28,250
How to change this water crisis
our view of Jesus?

232
00:19:31,044 --> 00:19:37,718
Maybe we should open our eyes to
a Jesus with birth defects.

233
00:19:38,427 --> 00:19:42,931
With permanent brain damage
because of the water.

234
00:19:44,933 --> 00:19:48,437
Maybe we should open our eyes to…

235
00:19:50,439 --> 00:19:52,441
...The new face of Jesus.

236
00:19:54,610 --> 00:19:56,028
How do you see Jesus?

237
00:19:56,111 --> 00:19:59,615
FLINT
THE CAR CITY

238
00:20:02,367 --> 00:20:08,207
<i>I am pastor of two churches,</i>
<i>besides my job in the police.</i>

239
00:20:08,290 --> 00:20:10,876
<i>It's another side of my life.</i>

240
00:20:10,959 --> 00:20:15,631
<i>I see the negative sides on the police side,</i>

241
00:20:15,714 --> 00:20:20,719
<i>but on the spiritual side</i>
<i>there is always hope.</i>

242
00:20:23,055 --> 00:20:25,307
<i>It means that I...</i>

243
00:20:26,183 --> 00:20:29,728
This means,
that I don't get too burnt out.

244
00:20:35,150 --> 00:20:39,112
This is an adopted child,
who often run away from home.

245
00:20:39,196 --> 00:20:45,869
It doesn't seem like the best place
for a child, but…

246
00:20:48,664 --> 00:20:52,668
I hope not
that the girl is running around out here in the snow.

247
00:21:04,221 --> 00:21:05,597
It's the police.

248
00:21:05,681 --> 00:21:08,350
<i>The door is locked. It is barricaded.</i>

249
00:21:08,433 --> 00:21:11,019
Barricaded? Okay.

250
00:21:13,355 --> 00:21:17,567
-I'm looking for a girl.
<i>-I haven't seen her.</i>

251
00:21:18,735 --> 00:21:22,614
She left the house earlier last night.

252
00:21:23,991 --> 00:21:26,827
Her mother thought,
that she might have gone over here.

253
00:21:32,165 --> 00:21:36,420
<i>"How should the residents of Flint</i>
<i>trust the police to protect them...</i>

254
00:21:36,503 --> 00:21:40,632
<i>...not even the authorities</i>
<i>can supply them with clean drinking water?</i>

255
00:21:43,051 --> 00:21:46,263
This type of question has brought

256
00:21:46,346 --> 00:21:50,684
the police and African-American residents
on a collision course.

257
00:21:53,353 --> 00:21:56,898
<i>The police are perceived as the enemy in the cities.</i>

258
00:21:58,817 --> 00:22:01,528
<i>White cops are considered racist.</i>

259
00:22:02,946 --> 00:22:09,036
Black cops like me
may be considered traitors.

260
00:22:11,121 --> 00:22:14,708
<i>We must uphold the law in a society,</i>
<i>who fights for his survival.</i>

261
00:22:14,791 --> 00:22:18,211
<i>Where there is an abundance of drugs and weapons</i>

262
00:22:18,295 --> 00:22:21,631
<i>and the extreme has become normal.”</i>

263
00:23:01,046 --> 00:23:04,591
Told Dion he has
birthday today? He turns 21.

264
00:23:04,674 --> 00:23:08,136
It was damn!
You must carry a weapon before you can drink.

265
00:23:08,220 --> 00:23:11,264
- You must be 21.
-Let's sing to him.

266
00:23:11,348 --> 00:23:13,475
THE POLICE SCHOOL
WEEK 8 OF 16

267
00:23:14,976 --> 00:23:17,395
<i>Happy birthday</i>

268
00:23:18,021 --> 00:23:20,690
<i>Happy birthday</i>

269
00:23:21,399 --> 00:23:25,320
<i>Happy birthday, Dion</i>

270
00:23:25,403 --> 00:23:28,115
<i>Happy birthday</i>

271
00:23:28,198 --> 00:23:32,994
Thanks! I am grateful for all that,
You have done for me.

272
00:23:33,078 --> 00:23:36,581
-How old are you?
- Nice that you are with the family.

273
00:23:37,541 --> 00:23:39,543
I have my family here.

274
00:23:39,626 --> 00:23:41,670
-At work.
-Precise.

275
00:23:47,050 --> 00:23:49,511
<i>-24.</i>
- 24 here.

276
00:23:49,594 --> 00:23:52,764
<i>-Knife stabbing.</i>
-I'm on my way.

277
00:24:04,025 --> 00:24:09,447
<i>I want to participate in a car chase,</i>
<i>it seems like the funnest thing.</i>

278
00:24:11,074 --> 00:24:14,953
<i>The adrenaline is pumping,</i>
<i>and you don't know what will happen.</i>

279
00:24:15,036 --> 00:24:20,458
<i>I like that. I don't want to sit</i>
<i>at a desk and do the same.</i>

280
00:24:20,542 --> 00:24:22,544
<i>I want to be on the dope.</i>

281
00:24:27,966 --> 00:24:28,967
Cool!

282
00:24:30,343 --> 00:24:31,761
It must not break.

283
00:24:31,845 --> 00:24:35,557
It was cool when it got dark,
and the street lights were turned on.

284
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,475
You couldn't see the cones anymore.

285
00:24:38,935 --> 00:24:42,606
- I don't freeze anymore.
-Same here.

286
00:24:44,024 --> 00:24:45,984
It's probably the adrenaline.

287
00:24:46,067 --> 00:24:48,528
- I'm ready.
- Yes, I'm up and running.

288
00:24:48,612 --> 00:24:51,907
I will do the dodge again,
it was the funnest.

289
00:24:51,990 --> 00:24:54,117
<i>Those who don't have to drive,</i>
<i>go to the bus.</i>

290
00:24:54,701 --> 00:24:57,495
We go to the bus.
I won't be done yet.

291
00:25:00,665 --> 00:25:05,420
<i>Did you feel the adrenaline rush? Take a deep</i>
<i>breathing and learn to control it.</i>

292
00:25:05,503 --> 00:25:07,881
Otherwise it will control you.

293
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,968
You will spend 70% of your time with
to drive around.

294
00:25:12,052 --> 00:25:14,054
That number must decrease.

295
00:25:14,638 --> 00:25:16,681
You have to go out there and talk to people.

296
00:25:17,349 --> 00:25:19,226
This is what we need.

297
00:25:19,309 --> 00:25:23,313
We have to get to know people,
and they must get to know us. We need good cops out there,
who do the right thing at the right time.

298
00:25:38,203 --> 00:25:42,457
<i>It wasn't that,</i>
<i>we learned at the police academy.</i>

299
00:25:42,540 --> 00:25:45,502
We boxed. It was real.

300
00:25:45,585 --> 00:25:48,964
I don't know if they do that anymore.

301
00:25:49,047 --> 00:25:52,133
They have a lot of breaks
and don't want it to be too hard.

302
00:25:52,217 --> 00:25:57,389
Just look at what the public wants.
They don't want tough cops.

303
00:25:57,472 --> 00:26:02,686
They want a soft guy in a purple uniform,
who gives them a hug and comforts them.

304
00:26:02,769 --> 00:26:05,146
It works sometimes,
but not always.

305
00:26:05,230 --> 00:26:11,236
Sometimes there is a need
a hard banana that can protect everyone.

306
00:26:11,319 --> 00:26:17,409
But everybody wants the soft guy,
who comfort people and hand out teddy bears.

307
00:26:17,492 --> 00:26:21,329
All the new ones should know,
that Bridgette and Andy...

308
00:26:22,414 --> 00:26:25,709
Without a doubt, our best officers.

309
00:26:26,584 --> 00:26:30,005
They are slightly behind compared to,
how far we were at that point.

310
00:26:30,088 --> 00:26:36,928
They get no experience,
because there are emergency calls all the time.

311
00:26:37,012 --> 00:26:40,557
We talked about Bridgette earlier.

312
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,268
She feels burnt out after 2 1/2 years.

313
00:26:43,351 --> 00:26:47,022
-Were you burnt out after 2 1/2 years?
- That's where I killed someone.

314
00:26:47,105 --> 00:26:49,774
That's where I killed one.

315
00:27:06,499 --> 00:27:09,336
<i>You get nightmares afterwards.</i>

316
00:27:15,091 --> 00:27:19,179
<i>You dream of a different course,</i>
<i>where you might get shot yourself.</i>

317
00:27:27,896 --> 00:27:32,108
<i>You analyze the incident in your head</i>
<i>a billion times, with multiple outcomes.</i>

318
00:27:37,697 --> 00:27:43,995
We got a call about,
that a guy had robbed a kiosk

319
00:27:44,079 --> 00:27:46,373
and had taken a bag of chips.

320
00:27:46,456 --> 00:27:50,794
He threatened the staff with a gun
and shot out into the parking lot.

321
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:57,425
<i>I was given an address where he</i>
<i>according to the information shot into a house.</i>

322
00:27:58,885 --> 00:28:02,931
<i>We went there and shouted "police".</i>

323
00:28:05,016 --> 00:28:08,895
<i>We heard a loud bang and saw a flash of light.</i>

324
00:28:08,978 --> 00:28:11,481
<i>I knew,</i>
<i>that he had fired his gun.</i>

325
00:28:11,564 --> 00:28:14,901
<i>I looked around the corner</i>
<i>and saw him run away.</i>

326
00:28:16,444 --> 00:28:21,241
I lost sight of him for two seconds,
if so long.

327
00:28:24,536 --> 00:28:28,373
<i>He didn't care what we said.</i>

328
00:28:28,456 --> 00:28:33,503
<i>We screamed at him:</i>
<i>"Hands up! Down on the ground!"</i>

329
00:28:35,130 --> 00:28:39,592
<i>He felt his jacket</i>
<i>and put his hands in his pockets.</i>

330
00:28:42,721 --> 00:28:45,348
<i>I thought he was going to pull the gun.</i>

331
00:28:47,851 --> 00:28:50,979
I thought he was going to kill me.

332
00:28:51,062 --> 00:28:53,148
Then I shot.

333
00:28:54,274 --> 00:28:57,110
I thought he was going to kill me.

334
00:28:59,904 --> 00:29:04,033
In the two seconds I didn't see him,

335
00:29:04,117 --> 00:29:08,371
had he thrown the gun away
approximately 15 meters away.

336
00:29:24,471 --> 00:29:29,184
<i>In my situation...</i>
<i>I was white and he was black.</i>

337
00:29:29,267 --> 00:29:34,397
<i>They talked about it on the news.</i>
<i>But only in the local news.</i>

338
00:29:36,691 --> 00:29:39,819
<i>Today I risk being sued.</i>

339
00:29:39,903 --> 00:29:44,073
<i>You risk being hanged</i>
<i>on all the social media.</i>

340
00:29:44,157 --> 00:29:48,495
<i>It's scary.</i>
<i>It is expected that you will continue to work,</i>

341
00:29:48,578 --> 00:29:55,001
<i>but you are constantly worried about,</i>
<i>how it will be presented.</i>

342
00:29:55,084 --> 00:29:58,213
<i>You can lose your job</i>
<i>or go to jail.</i>

343
00:30:12,936 --> 00:30:14,437
There he is.

344
00:30:15,897 --> 00:30:20,401
And they talk about my guns…
How many guns do you have?

345
00:30:21,402 --> 00:30:23,822
They talk about me carrying weapons.

346
00:30:23,905 --> 00:30:28,493
How many guns do you have?
He probably has four.

347
00:30:31,037 --> 00:30:33,331
-Værsgo.
-Then we'll get started.

348
00:30:35,834 --> 00:30:40,296
Bernritter if you are not in too much of a hurry
with Facebook...

349
00:30:40,380 --> 00:30:43,675
The department works on...

350
00:30:43,758 --> 00:30:49,806
The only thing that worries us is the number
of cars that we have - or don't have.

351
00:30:52,016 --> 00:30:57,814
We have a staff shortage,
and there are problems with some of the cars.

352
00:30:57,897 --> 00:31:02,277
We still have problems with the computers.

353
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:08,658
Can't we just take the cars and give them away?
them back when the equipment arrives?

354
00:31:08,741 --> 00:31:15,331
- They have no radio.
- The officers have it. We need them.

355
00:31:15,415 --> 00:31:19,085
The cars must have a radio,
but it seems to take three months.

356
00:31:19,168 --> 00:31:21,212
We don't have that.

357
00:31:21,296 --> 00:31:26,926
We use the cars we have,
and communicates with our equipment.

358
00:31:28,261 --> 00:31:35,018
Night team A had
938 radio calls in February.

359
00:31:35,977 --> 00:31:38,271
They have worked really hard.

360
00:31:38,354 --> 00:31:43,776
<i>I attend all the meetings and ask,</i>
<i>what the departments need.</i>

361
00:31:43,860 --> 00:31:46,404
<i>"How's this going...?"</i>

362
00:31:46,487 --> 00:31:51,451
You can restructure some things
and make sure that this is done.

363
00:31:51,534 --> 00:31:53,912
Out with some people, in with some new...

364
00:31:53,995 --> 00:32:00,168
If some officers do not perform optimally,
then we have to move them around.

365
00:32:00,251 --> 00:32:03,963
That helps us
to achieve the results we want.

366
00:32:04,047 --> 00:32:06,424
We restructure all the time.

367
00:32:06,507 --> 00:32:09,135
There are many changes coming.

368
00:32:09,218 --> 00:32:15,183
Don't think we don't do anything,
just because we walk around smiling.

369
00:32:15,266 --> 00:32:20,021
I only smile because things get done
it's that simple.

370
00:32:20,104 --> 00:32:23,358
Thank you. Keep doing what you're doing.

371
00:32:23,441 --> 00:32:25,109
Good evening, boss.

372
00:32:32,075 --> 00:32:38,748
Tonight we have Grohowski the Paw Patrol,
Balasko and Cramer at the hospital.

373
00:32:38,831 --> 00:32:44,253
Police Chief Johnson asked me to
to cancel all transfers.

374
00:32:44,337 --> 00:32:50,051
I know you were up to
the criminal police on Sunday, Balasko.

375
00:32:55,765 --> 00:33:01,104
-Bridgette, say something positive.
- I don't have anything today.

376
00:33:01,187 --> 00:33:03,439
- Nothing?
-No.

377
00:33:16,369 --> 00:33:18,371
<i>I'm sorry for the bad news.</i>

378
00:33:18,454 --> 00:33:25,378
<i>But he will take stock and then</i>
<i>make his own decisions.</i>

379
00:33:25,461 --> 00:33:28,297
<i>That is his right as the new police chief.</i>

380
00:33:33,386 --> 00:33:34,971
<i>That's bullshit.</i>

381
00:33:37,056 --> 00:33:39,058
I feel lost.

382
00:33:41,185 --> 00:33:43,062
I don't know what to do.

383
00:33:46,691 --> 00:33:53,489
I have made many life decisions
based on my job, and...

384
00:33:55,783 --> 00:33:59,370
Of course I take it personally.

385
00:33:59,454 --> 00:34:06,169
I should not let my happiness
stand and fall with this.

386
00:34:06,252 --> 00:34:08,296
It shouldn't matter that much.

387
00:34:09,839 --> 00:34:12,967
But it does,
I really want to do it.

388
00:34:13,051 --> 00:34:16,512
I was so close, just two days away.

389
00:34:17,597 --> 00:34:19,682
It would have happened on Monday.

390
00:34:21,309 --> 00:34:24,270
I'm just really…

391
00:34:30,193 --> 00:34:33,029
...disappointed with how it went.

392
00:34:41,204 --> 00:34:42,538
Damn.

393
00:34:56,886 --> 00:34:58,471
The car is not out there yet.

394
00:35:03,684 --> 00:35:05,311
It is nice.

395
00:35:12,568 --> 00:35:14,237
Give me a kiss.

396
00:35:18,991 --> 00:35:20,493
Be careful tonight.

397
00:35:21,619 --> 00:35:23,788
-I love you.
-In the same way.

398
00:35:23,871 --> 00:35:25,998
- Take good care of yourself.
-For sure.

399
00:35:26,082 --> 00:35:27,917
I'm going to bed.

400
00:35:36,425 --> 00:35:38,678
<i>She is heartbroken.</i>

401
00:35:38,761 --> 00:35:41,889
<i>It feels so unfair.</i>

402
00:35:41,973 --> 00:35:47,520
<i>She always wanted this. It is</i>
<i>the kind of police work she wants to do.</i>

403
00:35:47,603 --> 00:35:53,109
<i>She has worked hard here.</i>
<i>She has really worked hard for the department.</i>

404
00:35:53,818 --> 00:35:59,448
<i>Unfortunately, it doesn't matter,</i>
<i>how much one sacrifices.</i>

405
00:36:00,992 --> 00:36:04,162
<i>When it comes down to it,</i>
<i>only seniority counts.</i>

406
00:36:37,695 --> 00:36:40,364
The hands! Hands up!

407
00:36:40,448 --> 00:36:42,366
Down on the floor!

408
00:37:00,426 --> 00:37:01,844
Check it out.

409
00:37:06,807 --> 00:37:09,268
- Piss.
- Were you hit?

410
00:37:24,617 --> 00:37:27,870
-Did you get hit, Dion?
-Yes.

411
00:37:29,205 --> 00:37:31,624
And then you gave up?

412
00:37:31,707 --> 00:37:34,210
I thought you were done
if you were hit.

413
00:37:34,293 --> 00:37:37,004
We've reviewed it here.

414
00:37:37,088 --> 00:37:39,090
THE POLICE SCHOOL
WEEK 10 OF 16

415
00:37:39,173 --> 00:37:40,925
I should have kept shooting.

416
00:37:41,008 --> 00:37:46,222
I thought it was a shot
who talked, like in paintball.

417
00:37:46,305 --> 00:37:48,557
You've been hit all day.

418
00:37:48,641 --> 00:37:50,643
It was the first time for me.

419
00:37:50,726 --> 00:37:53,729
Getting hit doesn't mean
that it is over.

420
00:37:53,813 --> 00:37:56,107
-Don't think like that.
-Okay.

421
00:37:56,190 --> 00:38:01,112
Although the gunshot wound is fatal,
then you still have a few minutes.

422
00:38:01,195 --> 00:38:04,365
Keep fighting, don't give up.

423
00:38:04,448 --> 00:38:09,662
When you gave up
he was totally unprotected on both sides.

424
00:38:11,205 --> 00:38:16,294
-Where were you hit? In the arm?
-Yes. In paintball, one hit is enough.

425
00:38:16,377 --> 00:38:19,297
- This is the reality.
- Yes, I know that.

426
00:38:19,380 --> 00:38:22,383
- It's not paintball.
-Okay.

427
00:38:23,926 --> 00:38:26,846
- It's just a gunshot wound.
-Yes.

428
00:38:26,929 --> 00:38:30,683
-It's not even the trigger arm.
- Go on.

429
00:38:30,766 --> 00:38:34,145
If it was the trigger arm,
then you just switch hands.

430
00:38:34,228 --> 00:38:36,480
-Change hands. Okay?
-Yes.

431
00:38:37,106 --> 00:38:41,819
Dion? This is not paintball.
If we make a mistake, people die.

432
00:39:15,770 --> 00:39:18,105
Can you take off his hat?

433
00:39:19,106 --> 00:39:21,275
Wait... Yes.

434
00:39:22,568 --> 00:39:24,570
It looks like a hole. An execution.

435
00:39:29,075 --> 00:39:32,828
He has a platinum card.

436
00:39:32,912 --> 00:39:35,915
It's not a vagabond.

437
00:39:39,502 --> 00:39:41,587
He has been executed.

438
00:39:51,138 --> 00:39:54,141
<i>There is a dark cloud over the city.</i>

439
00:39:56,894 --> 00:39:59,230
<i>The residents deserve better.</i>

440
00:39:59,313 --> 00:40:05,277
They have suffered long enough. I will make sure
that they get what they deserve:

441
00:40:08,656 --> 00:40:11,117
<i>They must feel safe in the city.</i>

442
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:15,371
<i>They should not be afraid of</i>
<i>to be robbed or assaulted.</i>

443
00:40:15,454 --> 00:40:17,456
<i>It must stop.</i>

444
00:40:24,255 --> 00:40:29,301
<i>You have to be proactive to protect</i>
<i>the city and reduce crime.</i>

445
00:40:31,095 --> 00:40:32,930
<i>You have to get soil under your nails.</i>

446
00:40:34,890 --> 00:40:40,187
<i>Police in Flint</i>
<i>will work in a completely new way.</i>

447
00:40:41,355 --> 00:40:43,107
<i>We introduce zero tolerance.</i>

448
00:40:45,234 --> 00:40:50,114
It doesn't matter where they hide,
for we will find them.

449
00:40:51,407 --> 00:40:53,742
<i>We will enforce all applicable laws.</i>

450
00:40:53,826 --> 00:40:58,080
<i>If the trousers hang too far down,</i>
<i>then it is defamation.</i>

451
00:40:58,164 --> 00:41:00,249
Then you get arrested. Enough.

452
00:41:02,751 --> 00:41:06,964
<i>I want to gather our ten best officers</i>
<i>in one unit.</i>

453
00:41:07,047 --> 00:41:11,218
The CATT Squad must specialize
