Detective Barrett: How would you characterize Officer Nolan?
Officer Nolan is one of the finest people
I've ever known.
Back at the academy,
when everyone was gunning for each other,
he'd stay up late and help you study,
even if that meant bombing the test himself.
Is he on any medication?
Not that I know of.

wanting to use force?
Wanting to? No.

He pursued an armed robber into an occupied house.
Fired one shot.
Hopefully it's as straightforward as it sounds.
Is this the first officer under your command
to take a life?
Yes.
But you've been through the process yourself.
You read my file, Commander.

What?

Civil liability is covered up to $2 million

No.
Only civilians have the right to remain silent.

Percy: Did you have any less-than-lethal weapons available?
Taser? Pepper spray? Yes.
Did you attempt to use
any of these less
No.
Why not?

You're not sure or you didn't have time?
I-I didn't have time.
My hand was on my gun.
I couldn't reach for my Taser.
Did you have cover or concealment?
No.
Did the suspect discharge his firearm?
No.
How many rounds did you fire?
-One.
Him, his chest.
Center mass, like we were trained.
Did you hit what you were aiming at?
Yes.
Describe what he did or what you saw
to make you think you struck the suspect.
There was blood. He fell.
