CSI: NY · Season 9
You saw him take a shot at Hopkins?
No.
You hear the shot?
No.
So how do you know that Brown took a shot at Hopkins?
Because Kevin said so, and that's good enough for me.
Well, that's not good enough for me.
What do you think?
Flack': It would've been so easy for him to cover for Hopkins and lie. All he would have to do is say that he heard two shots, and there would be nothing we could do to dispute it.
So you think the vic really did take a shot at Hopkins?
I think he thinks the vic took a shot at Hopkins. But the truth is, no one knows what happened in that alley except for Hopkins and Timothy Brown. We need evidence.
It's all over the news, and now half the community is outside. There's maybe 1,500 people out there.
Respectfully, Sir, I think locking him up and letting the grand jury sort it out is a cop-out. I realize the political implications of this, but we deserve more time, and Hopkins deserves better than punting to the grand jury.
Officers and detectives are more or less barricaded inside, as demonstrators have virtually surrounded the precinct. Officials within the NYPD are not releasing the names of the officers involved in the shooting, but we have learned that they are officers Kevin Hopkins and Trey Jensen.
Might as well hang wanted posters outside.
The thing is, you didn't have to lie. You didn't need it. Here's what I think happened. You chased a guy who just robbed a jewelry store. You came around the corner, you identified yourself as a police officer, he disobeyed your command, he spun around with his hand up by his chest, and you fired. You did everything right. The truth would've been enough, the truth is enough. But you thought it wouldn't look good, so you had to say he fired at you. You're a good police officer, Kevin, but you got to stop lying to me.
Detective Taylor, I respect you, I got respect for you, but screw you. That kid, he pointed a gun and he shot at me and I will go to my grave swearing by that.
Take me out there. I will... I will walk you through it.
It's too dangerous to bring you out there. But we can bring the scene to you.
There's no way I'm chasing a guy who may or may not have a gun down this alley.
When's the last time you chased anyone at all?
This is gonna get ugly again. And I don't care how many reinforcements we call in, if they want to get in, they're getting in.
Finding them hanging out in the streets seems like a long shot.
You might be right, but right now, it's the only good lead we've got.
Tonight's top story continues to be the community unrest outside the 12th Street Precinct in Manhattan over the alleged shooting of an unarmed man by police. The mayor and police commissioner continue to call for calm, but protesters remain defiant. Some in the community are labeling the death of Timothy Brown a cold-blooded murder.
Any of those jackass reporters that talk to Kevin Hopkins for five minutes... they'd realize how ridiculous that statement is.
(To Mac) Boss, I don't want to tell you how to conduct your business, but you got to answer your phone. Okay? Your voicemail's all jacked up, Jo doesn't pick up her phone... I was literally left unsupervised for a really long time.
How the hell did you get past that mob outside?
Well, I parked my car, like, 20 blocks away and I walked. And I'm not gonna lie, I almost got jacked a couple times, but as long as I, you know, pumped my fist up in the air and yelled some crazy things and kicked over a garbage can, I was... I was good, I was totally good.
(After Jo shoots a perp) Everybody okay?
Yeah, everybody but him (He checks the victim for weapons) There's no gun. Did you see a gun?
No, but I saw him reaching for something in that mailbox.
(About a gun) It belonged to everybody. That gun always in that mailbox. It's like... going to the library or something. Taking out a book. You go in there, you take it, you need it, you use it, you put it back, that's it... it's the honor system.
