- TriviaThe book that the shooting victim's sister is reading in the hospital waiting room is Beloved by Toni Morrison (Ben says that he likes the book and read it for a Black Studies class). "Beloved" was published in 1987 and won the Pulitzer Prize. In 2006 a panel of writers and critics named it the best work of American fiction of the past 25 years. It is one of the most frequently assigned novels in the American secondary and higher education system.
- GoofsDepending on how tight the shot is on the police car and the officers inside, sometimes the rearview mirror on the windshield is in place, sometimes it's been removed to not obstruct the view of the characters as they speak.
- Quotes
Ofcr. John Cooper: Burn squad just showed up. You heard of Warner Brothers? This is "warn a brother" - you don't lie; that's how they get you. Lying is worse than an out-of-policy shooting. You just tell it like it happened, you'll be fine - no big deal.
Ofcr. Ben Sherman: Taking a life is a big deal to me, okay?
Ofcr. John Cooper: What the hell did you think the gun was for, huh? Show-and-tell? Look, you'll get over it - all right, they'll send you to BSS, you'll do all that Buddhist "I love and revere all sentient beings" crap; then at o'dark-thirty, next time you're up, you will drag your weary, fried ass out of bed, you will put on your gun and your vest, and you will do it all over again. You know why? Because this is a front row seat to the greatest show on earth. Can you abuse it? Yes, sir - you can, and you will; I guarantee it. Because it is relentless, and it gets to you, and it seems like it changes nothing. But a day like today, with some interesting capers, and a few good arrests? That's good. But every once in a while, you get to take a bad guy off the streets for good... and that, my friend, is God's work. So now you wanna be a pussy and quit, you quit. You're a cop because you don't know how not to be one. If you feel that way, you're a cop. If you don't, you're not - you decide.

This is a gritty drama, filled with blunt action (some of it harrowing). The characters may come at you fast and furious here, but give this just a little bit of time.
It will develop into something special.
