I can't answer that for you.
I can tell you that this year has been tough for all of us.

tell Chris you're there for him.

take an RV and camp, hike,

Officer Erin Cole never switched her camera on during the raid.
She's a rookie, so it could just be a mental error.
Or she did it on purpose to cover up taking the gun.
Either way, we need to talk to her.

How was Officer Cole at the Academy?
Solid.
Yeah, she was a go-getter.
I mean, she wasn't the strongest or the fastest,
but she made up for it with passion.
I certainly wouldn't have flagged her as someone who'd betray the badge.
And as a rookie?
Maybe she didn't turn. Maybe she was rotten from the onset.
Meaning what?
She was put into the department by the Derian family
as a mole?
Anything? No.
No sign of Cole yet.
