a perfect system.

You know, we get hundreds
of complaints every month.

It takes time
to sort this stuff out.

But I do understand how
that level of frustration

could lead to a confrontation.

- I'm saying maybe
you confronted Blaine.

You wanted to get some things
off your chest.

Maybe he didn't like
what you had to say

so he got aggressive.

Maybe he reached for his gun.

You just did what you had to do
because you were afraid

he might cause you
serious bodily harm.

That would be self-defense.

You wouldn't be responsible
for his death.

Sorry.

why not help us

Never have.

Officer Blaine attacked me,

wrongfully imprisoned me,

All right, we gotta find
another way to nail this prick.

He was there the night
of the murder.

Maybe he saw Torres.
- Yeah, she's right.

Give it a shot.
Let's go.

- Zach, we need to talk
to you one more time.

Mike Blaine.

We just want you to look

Did you see any of these men

following him?

You saved my life.
Thank you.

Coffee, water?

Maybe the odd candy bar--

- Okay.

Well, now that you've had
some time to calm down--

- I refuse to answer.

- Okay.

Zach, we believe the offender
saw you on the news,

talking to reporters,
so he knows you were there,

that you saw him arguing
with Blaine,

maybe even shooting him.

Okay, that makes you a witness.
It also makes you a target.

He's not gonna stop
coming after you.

- That's my problem.

I'll move out of state

until all this nonsense
blows over.

- It's not nonsense,
and it's not gonna blow over,

not without your help.

- Zach,
she just saved your life.

Without this woman, without
this evil cop right here...

you'd be dead.

You get that, right?

- I do,
and I'm very appreciative.

But that doesn't change--
- Yes, it does!

It does.

You need to quit hating.

And if not for yourself,
then do it for Blaine's family,

and help them get justice.
- Justice?

W-we don't know what
he was doing with this guy.

He could've been
dealing drugs--

- We do know what he was doing!

He was trying to save
a young woman's life,

to stop this guy
from continuing to abuse her.

That's what he was doing there.

- That very well may
be true, but--

- No, it is true!
That's a fact!

- And what he did to me
is a fact.

And if I choose to hate him
for that, that's up to me,

not you.

- Zach, let it go.
Just let it go.

Accept the fact
that he made a mistake.

- No, that was not a mistake.
That's who he was.

I could see it in his eyes.

He was a mean, violent man.

What he did was unforgivable.

he did to help protect
a victim of domestic abuse.

- He borrowed $3,000
from a convicted felon,

failed to report
the domestic abuse incident,

and violated countless rules
and regulations.

- Okay?

What's your point?

- Blaine was far from perfect.
- You're right.

But he was a good man.

He died trying to protect

a scared, vulnerable
young mother.

And how he did it?

I mean, what rules
he chose to ignore?

Who cares?

He was trying to do
something good.

That's what matters.

You know, there was a time
we actually forgave people

for their mistakes.

We understood that
human beings are fallible.

brave...

- Today, we apprehended the man
we believe murdered

Officer Michael R. Blaine,
a 22-year veteran

of the Chicago Police
Department.

Officer Blaine died
the same way

he lived his life:

trying to do what was right,

trying to serve
this city with dignity.

And like most of us,

Officer Blaine
was not perfect.

But when you look at the sum
of the parts...

at the man in full,

it's clear that the good
offset the bad,

that he was a brave
and decent police officer

who died on the job
trying to save

a young woman,
who was tragically stuck

in a violent
and abusive relationship.

To me, that makes
Mike Blaine a hero.

He represented
the best of what

the Chicago Police Department
is all about.

That being said,
it's important to acknowledge

that we don't always
get it right.

The Chicago Police Department
is not flawless.

We've made some mistakes.

We've committed
certain unforgivable acts.

But those misdeeds,
no matter how egregious,

should not define us,

but rather motivate us
to do better,

to be more complete
and compassionate

human beings
and police officers.
