:16:00
District Attorney Loew ?
:16:02
You and officer Stensland
brought the liquor to the station.
:16:06
Stensland was already drunk.
:16:08
Appearing as a
voluntary witness against him...
:16:11
... could offset damage to yourself.
:16:14
I won't testify against him,
or anyone else.
:16:16
This man is a disgrace.
:16:19
Your badge and gun, officer.
:16:21
You're suspended from duty.
:16:24
Dismissed.
:16:42
we need police witnesses to offset
the damage done to the Department.
:16:46
Justice has to be served.
Of course I'll testify.
:16:52
I'm glad you feel that way, Edmund.
:16:54
Most don't.
:16:55
They think silence and integrity
are the same thing.
:16:58
Not exactly the image of the...
:17:01
... new LAPD we're trying to create.
:17:03
welcome to Los Angeles,
the city of the future.
:17:06
- May I make a suggestion, sir ?
- By all means.
:17:09
The public will expect the Department
to sweep this under the carpet.
:17:14
Don't.
:17:16
Shift the guilt to men
whose pensions are secured.
:17:19
Force them to retire.
:17:22
But somebody has to swing.
:17:24
So indict, try and convict...
:17:27
... Richard Stensland and Bud white.
:17:29
Secure them jail time.
:17:31
The message will be clear.
:17:33
This Department...
:17:34
... will not tolerate officers
who think they're above the law.
:17:39
Dick Stensland is an embarrassment
as a policeman.
:17:42
He's had rotten fitness reports
from every C.O. he's served under.
:17:46
But Bud white is a valuable officer.
:17:48
white's a mindless thug.
:17:50
No, Edmund...
:17:52
... but he can answer ""yes"" to those
questions I've asked you before.
:17:56
The Department and the public
need role models.
:17:59
Clean-cut, forthright men
the public can admire.
