Transcripts - Forever Dreaming

[SIGHS]

So this really something you're doing

- with every officer from CPD?

- Yes, sir.

Hey, you don't have to call me sir.

It's pretty formal for somebody who's gonna ask me my deepest, darkest secrets.

[LAUGHS]

It won't be that, I promise.

I'm simply asking questions designed to forecast future problems.

To predict the future?

Oh, that'd be nice, wouldn't it?

But no.

This is just another supplement to Early Intervention Strategy.

Right, to predict if I'm gonna do something stupid on the job in the future.

It's purely supportive, not punitive.

What if I answer a question wrong?

There is no wrong.

Any answer would just help us understand you.

- Who you are.

- Well, I get that.

I've been to therapy before, so lay it on me.

So how do you like your coffee?

Black.

How do you like yours?

[LAUGHS]

I don't drink coffee.

And have you always taken it that way?

Yes, one cream, one sugar, every morning.

Does that say something about me?

Would you consider yourself a creature of habit?

Uh, no, no, I drink all the drinks.

Have you ever used a racial slur?

[SCOFFS]

That's a hell of a segue.

No, no I have not.

Have you ever heard a family member use a racial slur?

I don't know.

Maybe.

Yeah.

Would you say you have a good relationship

- with your family?

- I'd say it's fine.

Do you consider the police force your family?

My unit.

And the rest of the police force?

No, coworkers.

Have you ever felt what you would categorize as anger issues?

Nope.

And what about trauma?

Yes.

Have you experienced post-traumatic stress?

Yes.

Have you ever made a mistake on the job?

Have you ever had to fire your w*apon?

Have you ever k*lled someone?

Have you ever felt fear on the job?

Do you believe you are the wrong fit for this job?

Are you proud to be an officer of the Chicago Police Department?

Do you believe you're capable, worthy, right?

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

What the actual hell do they think they're gonna get out of all of that?

They should check my police record if they wanna know if I'm a good or a bad cop.

Am I right?

Am I?

Nah, nah, they don't wanna know who you are now.

They wanna know who you gonna be then.

One hour with them, and you're a psychic too?

Maybe I got the future in me, but if asking us questions is gonna help us find prejudice, prevent problems, and progress policing, then I'll sit for it all damn day.

I get the intention.

It's just, I don't know, seems a little overzealous, right?

I'm just saying, you don't punish the many to get to the few, you know?

Grill good cops looking for cracks that ain't there.

I just wanna know what my coffee order

- has to do with anything.

- Hey, guys.

What's going on?

We got a case?

- An officer-involved sh**ting.

- [SIGHS]

- A bad one.

- No.

What happened?

A buddy of mine in patrol sent over this civilian witness video.

Somebody caught it on a cell phone.

I said get your hands all the way up and turn around.

Stop pointing your g*n at me!

Hands up!

Turn around!

Your g*n is pointed at me, and I did nothing wrong.

So no.

Then this is the last time.

Okay?

You're gonna get your hands away from your w*apon, and you're gonna turn around.

He's still bleeding, isn't he?

He was shot hours ago.

If he's still bleeding, then he's dying.

You know that.

[MOANING]

George, I need an ambo to Marquette.

GSW victim.

- Copy that, George.

- Ambo on the way.

Look, I'm just saying, okay?

Three decades I protected those people, and now I'm getting judged for five minutes on a video showing me being police.

- You hear this dude?

- I'm trying not to.

...but this guy wasn't that!

All right?

He was not compliant from the start!

Please, I just...

Please.

Let's just ignore him.

Stay calm.

[SIGHS]

Why?

Why am I keeping calm?

Why are you so calm?

How can you just sit there with me listening to this man defend himself acting like we didn't just see the same tape?

- Bro, I... it was a bad sh**t.

- What do you want from me?

I'm just trying to get through this, okay?

I just wanna go home.

I don't want to get involved in things that are above us.

That's all!

Let me tell you what we ain't gonna do.

We ain't gonna say this is above our paygrade.

We are not going to dismiss this man as one bad apple because we are in this, all right?

- We got stop hiding behind...

- Behind what?

Being white.

Being white?

Really?

You don't gotta be Black to know wrong from right.

I never said that anything that that man did was right.

Did you hear me say that?

Think about what this white man did and how the next Black kid is gonna look at you

- the next time you go out there.

- I know.

I know, but I'm not doing this with you right now.

Why not?

Why not?

We're here.

We might as well.

We have been shot at, chased down, all while protecting the white cop that k*lled the Black kid, and I gotta live with that.

Why not you?

I gotta be angry.

Why not you?

'Cause you the good white cop that can't understand?

Who has nothing to do with any of this?

Is that what you're trying to say?

Because I don't!

That's not me.

What's inside of him is not inside of me, and you should be the one to know that!

How dare you, man!

I'm sick of you questioning me all the time.

Why is it me?

Why is it me that has to answer for this guy?

Huh?

Ask yourself that question!

Yeah, you see?

He knows I'm innocent.

Shut up!

You know I am, and your old man would say the same thing.

Do not talk to me about my father.

Okay, yeah.

I feared for my life.

Your life wasn't even in danger!

And you don't think I can feel when it is?

Huh?

I did years in a warzone.

You know how many men I put away who shot then got right back out on the street and shot again?

How many dying kids I held in my arms?

How many b*ll*ts went past my head?

And you're gonna tell me that I don't know when my life is danger?

Huh?

I feared for my life!

You feared Jeff Duncan.

You saw another Black thug toting a g*n.

Oh, man, it had nothing to do with race ever!

It everything to do with it.

Jeff was noncooperative, okay?

And you saw that.

No, I saw a man who lost empathy for the people he swore to serve and protect.

- He resisted...

- I saw a man who was scared.

- He was...

- Scared of those people, and you were scared way before you even pulled the trigger.

My life was in danger.

- You ain't gonna do that.

- Not this time.

You're not gonna defend yourself by blaming a dead Black victim.

Look at that.

Let's just calm down.

Wheelan!

Now!

What did you do to it?

That...

that ain't the video.

He moved.

His hand moved for his w*apon.

It moved!

- Yes, he did.

What, did you alter it?

You altered it.

And why would you do that?

Why would you do that?

I know he moved, okay?

'Cause I saw him move.

He moved.

Wheelan.

He never moved.
