Test

What is the Justice Department unwilling to admit?

What are the police trying to do?

Arrest everybody. We spoke about this. I... I heard you.

But why? What's the mission?

- The drug war. - Exactly.

And in a war, you need warriors.

In a war, you have enemies.

In a war, civilians get hurt and nobody does anything.

In a war, you count the bodies and then you call them victories.

Is the Justice Department, or even the Office of Civil Rights,

ready to declare that we long ago lost this war?

That we have achieved nothing but full prisons, and routine brutality,

and a complete collapse of trust

between police departments and their cities?

I fought this war, Nicole. I was even good at it

and honest when I did it. But it was lost when I got there,

and I did nothing but lose in my time, and the guys who are out there right now

on the street, they all know it's lost.

Are you people ready to say that out loud?

Is anybody?
