:55:08
Praise the Lord!
:55:12
Ladies, listen up.
:55:15
Perry and Keough will give you
some background on the players.
:55:17
These are the two shitbirds
that took out...
:55:19
one of our dispatchers
and a few other innocents.
:55:22
No one fucks with our family.
:55:23
And remember--
SlS doesn't have a jail...
:55:26
so if you knock
one of these pricks down...
:55:28
make sure he stays down.
:55:29
I remember
one fine spring day...
:55:31
about 25 years ago.
:55:35
I had just graduated
from the Police Academy.
:55:38
I felt so proud
with my brand new blues...
:55:43
coming to church that Sunday.
:55:45
I felt so proud with
my new badge on my chest.
:55:49
Bottom line, gentlemen,
watch your asses...
:55:51
and pay attention
to your fields of fire.
:55:53
Once we have secured
the location...
:55:54
we turn it over
to Perry and his people.
:55:57
Sergeant, take over.
:55:58
A couple of weeks ago...
:56:00
some gentlemen
from Cleveland called me.
:56:02
They wanted me
to move out to Ohio...
:56:04
to become the Chief
of their police department.
:56:09
That opportunity
is knocking mighty loud...
:56:14
and my LAPD badge
doesn't seem to glow anymore...
:56:18
and I'm not as proud of my blues
as I used to be.
:56:23
Today, I called those gentlemen
in Cleveland...
:56:28
and I told them I'm staying put.
:56:33
Questions?
:56:34
We'll be pulling out
in 15 minutes.
:56:41
I stand before you tonight...
:56:44
to declare
my goal of becoming...
:56:47
the first African-American
Police Chief of Los Angeles.
