00:12:36,623 --> 00:12:38,256 So, coming back to the road 208 00:12:38,358 --> 00:12:40,692 and being able to get back in there, 209 00:12:40,694 --> 00:12:42,127 put the uniform back on, 210

the outcome was what it was 213 00:12:50,704 --> 00:12:52,303 versus what it could've been 214 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,207 Overall, when you think about it, you are, like, 215 00:12:57,144 --> 00:12:59,010 it turned out okay, 216 00:12:59,012 --> 00:13:01,346 Officer Cusack recovered. 217 00:13:01,447 --> 00:13:04,682 And, it's just something tha we're always gonna think bac 218

00:17:22,409 --> 00:17:24,742 because you've got armor that covers your whole chest 280 00:17:24,811 --> 00:17:26,210 and this just happen to go, 281 00:17:26,212 --> 00:17:29,047 maybe an inch or two lower than the armor was. 282 00:17:31,384 --> 00:17:33,117 I mean, you've got a bunch of organs, 283 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:34,752 intestines, everything in that area. 284 00:17:39,826 -->

--> 00:18:26,637 she was pretty intoxicated, too. 296 00:18:34,747 --> 00:18:37,048 [Officer Thomas] As we pull on the scene, 297 00:18:37,116 --> 00:18:39,851 I've charged the weapon, put a line in chamber, 298 00:18:39,952 --> 00:18:42,620 in case I have to immediately use it. 299 00:18:45,125 --> 00:18:48,126 We make it over to the Centerville PD officer's car 300 00:18:53,433 --> 00:18:54,632 So, officer Wilcox 301 00:18:54,734 --> 00:18:57,768 is explaining to me what the situation is. 302 00:19:00,206 --> 00:19:01,706 [narrator] More officers arrive, 303 00:19:05,111 --> 00:19:06,611 and

enough to comply. 307 00:19:30,803 --> 00:19:33,804 I felt a large blow to my right foot. 308 00:19:35,408 --> 00:19:37,208 I am thinking, you're kidding. 309 00:19:37,210 --> 00:19:41,212 You got shot earlier, and here you are getting shot again. 310 00:19:41,214 --> 00:19:44,215 So, I start scanning for the suspect, 311 00:19:44,217 --> 00:19:46,217 I need to stop the threat. 312 00:19:48,054 --> 00:19:49,954 Eventually, I see his muzzle flashes. 313 00:19:50,924 --> 00:19:53,024 So, I line up my sights and I shoot at him. 314 00:19:59,332 --> 00:20:01,699 At that point I didn't know whether I hit him or not. 315 00:20:11,110 --> 00:20:14,011 I knew Corporal Mashuga was gonna need surgery 316 00:20:14,013 --> 00:20:16,113 for that abdominal wound. 317 00:20:16,115 --> 00:20:18,950

thought I had was to get him to the hospit 323 00:21:02,228 --> 00:21:03,828 as fast as possible. 324 00:21:03,830 --> 00:21:06,364 We didn't really have a step-by-step game plan. 325 00:21:06,465 -->

00:22:00,718 and exchange Corporal Mashug 334 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:02,520 and let him go to county hospital. 335 00:22:06,326 --> 00:22:08,526 [narrator] On the perimeter a relative of the shooter

398 00:26:53,012 --> 00:26:55,946 and was writing on the walls 399 00:26:56,015 --> 00:26:59,249 [narrator] Harry Baggett is sentenced to 100 years in prison 400 00:26:59,318 --> 00:27:01,719 for criminal attempt to commit malice murder, 401 00:27:01,721 --> 00:27:04,355 and aggravated assault on a peace officer. 402 00:27:04,423 --> 00:27:07,524 45-year-old Baggett won't be eligible for parol 403 00:27:07,526 --> 00:27:08,826 for 60 years. 404 00:27:09,428 --> 00:27:10,594 I just didn't understand. 405 00:27:10,696 --> 00:27:13,063 I didn't understand what the reason behind it was. 406 00:27:13,165 --> 00:27:14,698 [gunshot] 407 00:27:14,700 --> 00:27:17,401 What made him, you know, wanna just 408 00:27:17,403 --> 00:27:19,303 have an all-out standoff with police 409 00:27:20,006 --> 00:27:21,839 for a domestic that 410 00:27:21,874 --> 00:27:23,807 we were to come out, separate the parties. 411 00:27:23,809 --> 00:27:26,143 Nobody would've been arrested at that point. 412 00:27:27,813 --> 00:27:30,347 [narrator] Corporal Mashuga returns to light duty 413 00:27:30,416 --> 00:27:32,816 two months after the shootin 414 00:27:32,818 --> 00:27:35,719 I do believe that all the officers that responded that night 415 00:27:35,721 --> 00:27:37,087 did save my life. 416 00:27:37,089 --> 00:27:40,457 And that I owe them something I'll never be able to pay back. 417 00:27:41,961 --> 00:27:43,927 [Officer Karl] I've trained for a lot of my life, 418 00:27:43,929 --> 00:27:47,364 and until you're in that situation, 419 00:27:47,466 --> 00:27:49,033 you really don't know how you're gonna do. 420 00:27:49,101 --> 00:27:51,935 And I was able to perform. 421 00:27:52,037 --> 00:27:54,171 [Officer Thomas] It doesn't any good living the rest of my life 422 00:27:54,173 --> 00:27:55,606 having hard feelings about it. 423 00:27:55,675 --> 00:27:59,309 I mean, I signed up for this job knowing the risks, 424 00:27:59,311 --> 00:28:01,311 and I knew that this was possible. 425 00:28:01,313 --> 00:28:03,714 But, I'm not gonna live the rest of my life 426 00:28:03,716 --> 00:28:04,815 angry about it. 427 00:28:11,624 --> 00:28:13,957 [narrator] 20-miles north of Detroit, 428 00:28:14,059 --> 00:28:16,827 is the suburb of Clinton Township. 429 00:28:21,701 --> 00:28:25,102 Sergeant David Holdwick with Clinton Township PD 430 00:28:25,104 --> 00:28:26,804 is working the Sunday shift 431 00:28:29,709 --> 00:28:33,043 Typically, a Sunday patrol shift is slower than normal. 432 00:28:33,045 --> 00:28:35,546 Businesses are closed, schools are closed, 433 00:28:35,647 --> 00:28:36,947 lighter traffic. 434 00:28:39,719 --> 00:28:41,151 Even though it was a Sunday 435 00:28:41,153 --> 00:28:43,220 there's still people drivin in excess of the speed limit 436 00:28:45,024 --> 00:28:46,757 As this vehicle went past me 437 00:28:46,859 --> 00:28:49,226 it was abundantly apparent how fast he was going. 438 00:28:51,030 --> 00:28:53,530 I immediately put the car in gear, 439 00:28:53,532 --> 00:28:55,232 and went to go stop him. 440 00:28:55,301 --> 00:28:56,800 [police car siren wailing] 441 00:28:59,839 --> 00:29:01,037 [narrator] Just up the road 442 00:29:01,107 --> 00:29:03,907 is Macomb County Sherriff's Deputy Jake Stark, 443 00:29:03,909 --> 00:29:06,110 and his trainee deputy. 444 00:29:06,112 --> 00:29:09,012 Our dispatch aired that Clinton Township Police Department 445 00:29:09,014 --> 00:29:11,815 was chasing a suspect, northbound on Dalcoma, 446 00:29:11,817 --> 00:29:13,117 exactly where we were. 447 00:29:14,553 --> 00:29:16,420 We back them on big incident 448 00:29:16,422 --> 00:29:19,256 We never want any police officer to be by himself. 449 00:29:20,693 --> 00:29:22,826 In our minds, we ultimately 450 00:29:22,828 --> 00:29:24,661 had to think pretty quickly on our feet 451 00:29:24,663 --> 00:29:26,830 to try and get involved in this pursuit. 452 00:29:34,507 --> 00:29:36,039 I knew at that point 453 00:29:36,141 --> 00:29:39,143 he wasn't running simply because he didn't want a traffic ticket. 454 00:29:39,211 --> 00:29:41,011 There was something else going on. 455 00:29:42,214 --> 00:29:43,313 [narrator] Back down the roa 456 00:29:43,315 --> 00:29:45,048 officers want to find out 457 00:29:45,050 --> 00:29:48,218 exactly what the driver of the vehicle was getting rid of. 458 00:29:52,925 --> 00:29:54,291 [Deputy Stark] When they told us 459 00:29:54,293 --> 00:29:56,426 that the suspect had thrown something out of the window 460 00:29:56,428 --> 00:29:57,861 we don't know what it is at that time, 461 00:29:57,897 --> 00:30:00,831 which makes the chase a little more serious. 462 00:30:00,833 --> 00:30:03,300 We don't know what he is into, or who he is. 463 00:30:09,241 --> 00:30:11,508 We don't for certain, but there could be 464 00:30:11,510 --> 00:30:13,544 a potential of a weapon inside that vehicle. 465 00:30:32,932 --> 00:30:35,499 I didn't know that the Sheriff's department was near 466 00:30:35,501 --> 00:30:37,201 until I looked into my rearview mirror, 467 00:30:37,203 --> 00:30:38,735 and saw their flashing light 468 00:30:39,905 --> 00:30:41,805 [Deputy Stark] When we approached officer Holdwick 469 00:30:41,807 --> 00:30:44,308 we have to go by what he is doing. He is the lead officer, 470 00:30:44,310 --> 00:30:46,043 he's the one in charge right now. 471 00:30:46,078 --> 00:30:47,411 It's not like a normal pursuit. 472 00:30:47,479 --> 00:30:49,813 You know, the suspect was driving at a slower rate of speed. 473 00:30:51,517 --> 00:30:53,350 [Sgt Holdwick] As we approached the first traffic lights, 474 00:30:53,419 --> 00:30:54,551 the thing that struck me as odd is, 475 00:30:54,620 --> 00:30:56,420 the car stopped at the red light, 476 00:30:56,422 --> 00:30:58,488 like you would for normal traffic. 477 00:30:58,490 --> 00:31:01,825 I've never seen someone stop at red lights, 478 00:31:01,827 --> 00:31:04,561 while they were actually trying to get away. 479 00:31:11,003 --> 00:31:12,569 When the vehicle stopped, 480 00:31:12,571 --> 00:31:14,905 my thought process was that he was going to open the door, 481 00:31:14,907 --> 00:31:16,172 and take off running. 482 00:31:16,174 --> 00:31:19,543 And, it was then going to turn into a foot pursuit. 483 00:31:26,452 --> 00:31:28,252 But he continued to drive. 484 00:31:34,727 --> 00:31:36,727 [police car siren blaring] 485 00:31:40,566 --> 00:31:42,199 [Deputy Stark] The best way to get him to stop 486 00:31:42,201 --> 00:31:44,101 is to get him to slow down, 487 00:31:45,437 --> 00:31:46,937 and to get him boxed in, 488 00:31:47,039 --> 00:31:49,106 to allow him not to be able go left or right. 489 00:31:54,713 --> 00:31:57,114 Unfortunately, we only had two patrol cars at this time 490 00:31:57,116 --> 00:31:59,616 So, he was able to get out of our box. 491 00:32:18,203 --> 00:32:19,937 So, as the pursuit went northbound on Van Dyke, 492 00:32:19,939 --> 00:32:22,506 approaching Hall Road, we had a red light. 493 00:32:22,508 --> 00:32:24,608 Hall Road would be the last road, 494 00:32:24,677 --> 00:32:27,210 that I would pick to run a red light at. 495 00:32:27,212 --> 00:32:29,513 That's when things really go serious for me. 496 00:32:29,515 --> 00:32:31,682 There's a chance that he is now endangering the public. 497 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,721 [police car siren blaring] 498 00:32:53,339 --> 00:32:54,805 [Officer Stark] As we cross Hall Road, 499 00:32:54,807 --> 00:32:56,907 you know, your mind is going a thousand miles. 500 00:32:56,909 --> 00:32:58,308 You wanna make sure and hope 501 00:32:58,310 --> 00:32:59,810 that the suspect is not gonna crash. 502 00:33:02,014 --> 00:33:03,313 There was one vehicle in particular 503 00:33:04,817 --> 00:33:06,950 that he almost collided with 504 00:33:07,019 --> 00:33:08,452 It was pretty close to a miracle 505 00:33:08,553 --> 00:33:09,820 that nobody got severely injured 506 00:33:09,822 --> 00:33:11,121 going through those intersections. 507 00:33:17,563 --> 00:33:19,830 [Former Deputy] There were other vehicles that back-traced 508 00:33:19,832 --> 00:33:22,666 the steps of where the pursuit was. 509 00:33:22,668 --> 00:33:24,835 And then that's when they found the narcotics. 510 00:33:24,903 --> 00:33:26,603 [Deputy Stark] Once we found out there is narcotics 511 00:33:26,705 --> 00:33:28,238 there's a reason he is running. 512 00:33:28,340 --> 00:33:30,006 He could have a lot more narcotics in there. 513 00:33:38,083 --> 00:33:40,617 [Officer Stark] We don't kno if he does have a gun at this point. 514 00:33:40,619 --> 00:33:44,221 We did see him reach into his center console multiple times. 515 00:33:44,223 --> 00:33:47,057 So that obviously has heightened our awareness 516 00:33:47,159 --> 00:33:49,159 way more than just a normal pursuit. 517 00:33:50,696 --> 00:33:53,330 So, we are now approximately 8-10 miles 518 00:33:53,332 --> 00:33:56,133 north of where the actual pursuit started. 519 00:33:56,234 --> 00:33:58,301 We are trying to do everything we can to stop the suspect 520 00:33:58,303 --> 00:33:59,669 before he can continue. 521 00:34:02,207 --> 00:34:04,708 Once we turned eastbound on 27 Mile Road, 522 00:34:04,710 --> 00:34:06,710 his speeds definitely were increased. 523 00:34:20,025 --> 00:34:22,059 [Sgt Holdwick] We are enteri more of a farm land. 524 00:34:22,528 --> 00:34:23,593 More dirt roads, 525 00:34:23,595 --> 00:34:26,229 getting away from subdivisions and neighborhoods, 526 00:34:26,231 --> 00:34:27,631 and more into open country. 527 00:34:30,436 --> 00:34:32,936 We actually had a second Clinton Township ca 528 00:34:32,938 --> 00:34:34,704 joining the pursuit. 529 00:34:34,806 --> 00:34:36,706 We could see the Sheriff's Department vehicle ahead 530 00:34:36,808 --> 00:34:38,708 with its overhead lights activated. 531 00:34:47,820 --> 00:34:50,220 [Deputy Stark] There's no ca in plain sight. 532 00:34:50,222 --> 00:34:52,122 It's a country-style road. 533 00:34:53,926 --> 00:34:56,626 Knowing the road and knowing we were at, 534 00:34:56,695 --> 00:34:59,129 I knew we would hit gravel at that rate of speed. 535 00:34:59,131 --> 00:35:01,031 There's a good chance that one of us could lose control. 536 00:35:04,670 --> 00:35:06,670 [Former Deputy] As soon as we hit the dirt road, 537 00:35:06,672 --> 00:35:09,706 I knew that this chase was gonna end soon. 538 00:35:20,052 --> 00:35:21,818 I knew that his options 539 00:35:21,820 --> 00:35:24,221 of where he was gonna go, was running thin. 540 00:35:26,859 --> 00:35:28,859 And, now we're going into an area 541 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:30,927 that we are not 100% familiar with. 542 00:35:31,864 --> 00:35:33,797 But he may be very familiar with. 543 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,400 I did consider that there was the potential 544 00:35:37,402 --> 00:35:39,536 of us getting involved in some sort of ambush. 545 00:35:50,249 --> 00:35:53,116 [Former Deputy] When he started slowing up as we are behind him, 546 00:35:53,118 --> 00:35:54,351 I wanted to have the advanta 547 00:35:54,452 --> 00:35:55,919 of having my door somewhat open. 548 00:35:57,422 --> 00:35:59,055 If he fled on foot, 549 00:35:59,157 --> 00:36:01,057 I get out, and then chase him on foot. 550 00:36:05,998 --> 00:36:08,698 [Deputy Stark] My number on concern was does he know the people that live here? 551 00:36:08,700 --> 00:36:11,101 Are there going to be peopl waiting for us behind the house? 552 00:36:11,103 --> 00:36:12,502 We don't know at that time, 553 00:36:12,504 --> 00:36:13,803 so, our awareness 554 00:36:13,805 --> 00:36:15,438 is definitely very high. 555 00:36:19,711 --> 00:36:22,946 There was dense woods behind the house that he went into. 556 00:36:23,949 --> 00:36:26,082 I knew that as he pulled in that driveway, 557 00:36:26,084 --> 00:36:28,418 that he was gonna make a dash for those woods 558 00:36:34,226 --> 00:36:35,891 I saw that there was a big ditch. 559 00:36:38,230 --> 00:36:41,131 Unfortunately, the suspect was able to up and over that ditch, 560 00:36:41,934 --> 00:36:43,500 and then crash into a set of trees. 561 00:36:44,503 --> 00:36:45,936 And then, took off on foot. 562 00:36:47,706 --> 00:36:49,806 I am not familiar with the area. 563 00:36:49,808 --> 00:36:51,675 We don't know what he is doing out there, 564 00:36:51,677 --> 00:36:53,009 we don't know if he has a gun on him. 565 00:36:55,414 --> 00:36:57,347 It definitely makes it lot more dangerous. 566 00:37:01,787 --> 00:37:04,521 [Former Deputy] As the vehic is approaching the backyard I'm thinking in my mind, 567 00:37:04,523 --> 00:37:07,123 this individual could either have more drugs on him, 568 00:37:07,125 --> 00:37:08,959 or the biggest thing is, he has a weapon. 569 00:37:10,128 --> 00:37:13,029 Deputy Stark began pursuing him on foot. 570 00:37:13,031 --> 00:37:14,264 I went the other way, 571 00:37:14,333 --> 00:37:16,433 opposite of where he was going, 572 00:37:16,534 --> 00:37:19,536 so that all points of entry were covered. 573 00:37:19,638 --> 00:37:21,938 And, all the points of him exiting the field 574 00:37:21,940 --> 00:37:23,239 were covered as well. 575 00:37:24,543 --> 00:37:26,209 [Deputy Stark] As we see his car come to a stop, 576 00:37:26,812 --> 00:37:28,178 there's wood everywhere. 577 00:37:28,180 --> 00:37:30,313 We don't know where he is at that point. 578 00:37:45,831 --> 00:37:48,164 Fortunately for us, I was able to locate him, 579 00:37:48,233 --> 00:37:49,599 give him multiple verbal commands 580 00:37:49,668 --> 00:37:51,401 to stop, stop running, 581 00:37:51,403 --> 00:37:53,536 let him know that the police are here. 582 00:37:53,638 --> 00:37:55,438 And he continued to run on foot. 583 00:37:58,877 --> 00:38:00,343 [Former Deputy] The terrain was awful. 584 00:38:00,412 --> 00:38:02,412 We didn't know exactly what was in the wate 585 00:38:02,414 --> 00:38:04,447 We didn't know if there were any trenches, 586 00:38:04,516 --> 00:38:05,949 or if the water was going to get deeper. 587 00:38:06,051 --> 00:38:07,350 We had no idea. 588 00:38:09,087 --> 00:38:11,621 If I'm in deep waters, and he's out of deep waters 589 00:38:11,623 --> 00:38:13,923 and, he does engage me, 590 00:38:13,925 --> 00:38:15,058 I am an open target. 591 00:38:19,364 --> 00:38:20,664 The further we got into the woods, 592 00:38:20,666 --> 00:38:22,231 the more water there was. 593 00:38:24,036 --> 00:38:26,536 There was probably a good 1-and-a-half to 2-feet of water, 594 00:38:26,638 --> 00:38:28,038 that we are running through 595 00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,907 which makes our clothes that much more weighted down 596 00:38:34,246 --> 00:38:37,147 I was approximately 30 yard from where the suspect was. 597 00:38:38,950 --> 00:38:40,617 All I was trying to do was keep an eye on him, 598 00:38:42,421 --> 00:38:43,953 even if didn't gain ground on him. 599 00:38:46,058 --> 00:38:48,258 I didn't know if I was going to encounter him 600 00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:50,527 laying down, behind the tree. 601 00:38:52,964 --> 00:38:55,031 I didn't know if I was walking into an ambush. 602 00:38:56,802 --> 00:38:59,102 I didn't know if I had to engage this individual, 603 00:38:59,104 --> 00:39:02,405 if this individual was going to start firing upon me. 604 00:39:04,209 --> 00:39:06,209 [Deputy Stark] There's multiple times when he looked back 605 00:39:06,211 --> 00:39:07,344 to see where we were. 606 00:39:07,346 --> 00:39:09,312 But, we don't know why he's looking back at us 607 00:39:09,314 --> 00:39:11,514 We don't know if he has a gun in his hand. 608 00:39:18,323 --> 00:39:20,724 The terrain that we are running through 609 00:39:20,726 --> 00:39:22,359 was a lot of water. 610 00:39:22,427 --> 00:39:23,893 We got tired, he got tired. 611 00:39:33,305 --> 00:39:37,240 [Former Deputy] I was trying to find any sort of tree, 612 00:39:37,342 --> 00:39:39,409 or any thick brush 613 00:39:39,411 --> 00:39:41,611 that I can get behind, 614 00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:44,614 and get some form of concealment. 615 00:39:45,817 --> 00:39:48,318 I was keeping my eye out for him 616 00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:49,819 because I didn't know exactly where he was. 617 00:39:56,161 --> 00:39:58,328 [Former Deputy] I knew the general direction of travel, 618 00:39:58,330 --> 00:40:00,797 and I can see a break 619 00:40:00,799 --> 00:40:02,899 that opened up to a more open area. 620 00:40:04,503 --> 00:40:06,136 When I saw that, I thought to myself, 621 00:40:06,204 --> 00:40:07,771 "Okay, this is where the suspect is going." 622 00:40:08,874 --> 00:40:10,340 [Deputy Stark] Fortunately, I was able to see 623 00:40:10,442 --> 00:40:12,308 his hands to know that he didn't have any weapons 624 00:40:12,310 --> 00:40:13,910 in his hand at the time. 625 00:40:13,912 --> 00:40:15,412 And that he was probably just looking to see 626 00:40:15,414 --> 00:40:16,413 exactly where we were. 627 00:40:32,664 --> 00:40:34,431 I come out of the woods, 628 00:40:34,433 --> 00:40:36,800 and at that point, I know his hands are in the air, 629 00:40:36,802 --> 00:40:38,802 but we don't know if he can make any sudden movement. 630 00:40:38,903 --> 00:40:40,437 So, I do pull my gun. 631 00:40:42,908 --> 00:40:46,609 I could hear my trainee, along with another officer, 632 00:40:46,611 --> 00:40:47,811 yelling verbal commands, 633 00:40:47,879 --> 00:40:49,512 for him to get down on the ground, 634 00:40:49,514 --> 00:40:50,780 and put his hand behind his back. 635 00:40:52,250 --> 00:40:54,017 Once I hear that, my adrenaline is running. 636 00:41:16,541 --> 00:41:18,875 We eventually take the suspect into custody. 637 00:41:26,351 --> 00:41:29,018 [narrator] The items thrown out of the suspect's car 638 00:41:29,020 --> 00:41:30,720 test positive for cocaine. 639 00:41:34,192 --> 00:41:37,160 The suspect is Aniano-Arialo Mora. 640 00:41:39,030 --> 00:41:42,198 He pleads no contest to multiple charges, 641 00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:44,434 including fleeing an officer 642 00:41:44,536 --> 00:41:48,304 and possession of narcotics under 25 grams. 643 00:41:48,306 --> 00:41:50,707 He is sentenced to two years probation, 644 00:41:50,709 --> 00:41:53,243 and released into substance abuse treatment. 645 00:42:01,119 --> 00:42:03,052 Anytime that you assist another department 646 00:42:03,054 --> 00:42:04,554 in a big incident, 647 00:42:05,323 --> 00:42:06,322 we're all one team. 648 00:42:07,425 --> 00:42:08,457 At the end of the day, 649 00:42:08,459 --> 00:42:09,926 we wanna make sure that they're safe, 650 00:42:09,928 --> 00:42:11,227 they wanna make sure that we are safe. 651 00:42:12,330 --> 00:42:14,497 I think that really made thi 652 00:42:14,499 --> 00:42:16,699 the best outcome possible. 653 00:42:16,701 --> 00:42:19,302 Nobody wearing a badge got hurt that day, 654 00:42:19,304 --> 00:42:21,905 no civilians were injured that day, 655 00:42:21,907 --> 00:42:23,606 the suspect wasn't injured that day. 656 00:42:24,309 --> 00:42:25,341 That's ultimately 657 00:42:25,410 --> 00:42:26,509 what you want, 658 00:42:27,212 --> 00:42:28,244 being in law enforcement.
