:11:04
The officer falls in the street
and he was in the first traffic lane.
:11:08
He lay there and bled to death.
:11:11
So she's out of the car.
:11:12
She empties her pistol
at the fleeing suspect...
:11:15
and she runs to his aid.
:11:20
Procedure says you grab the radio
and call for an ambulance.
:11:23
Common sense would tell you that.

And that time, she's so... just tore down.
:11:31
And the blood.
An enormous amount of blood.

I don't want to get stopped anymore.
:12:39
"I'm afraid."
:12:45
If you're the investigator
assigned to the murder...
:12:48
you get frustrated with other witnesses.
:12:50
But when you got a police officer
that witnessed it...
:12:53
you expect that they would know
a little more than she knew.
:12:58
Procedure.
:12:59
When there's a two-person unit,
when either one approaches the car...
