Law & Order · Season 22, Episode 9

Shaw and Price in “The System”

You know, I thought I could help people by going to law school, fight the system that way. It didn't work out for me the way I thought. So I joined the Police Academy. I thought I could do more good on the streets, have more of a direct impact. I became a cop to keep innocent Black men out of prison, not put them in there.

No matter how hard we all try, every once in a while we get it wrong. It's just the way it is.

That's a hell of a speech, unless your name is Troy Booker.
