Green, Smith and others in “Black, White and Blue”

Green

[of the victim] Last time anybody saw him, he was leaving his apartment at around 10:30.

We saw two male blacks hanging out about then. We circled a few times, let him know we were on him.

Green

What do you mean, hanging out?

You know, standing around.

Briscoe

What did they look like?

Average height. Late teens, early 20s. Dark clothes.

Briscoe

That the best you can do?

Yeah. We don't make detailed notes on every Tom, Dick and Harry. They weren't bothering anybody.

Green

Then why did you notice them at all?

Because we get paid to.
