Det. Ware:
Don't you ever wish it didn't matter?

Derek Morgan:
"It"?

Det. Ware:
Color.

Derek Morgan:
Judge me by the content of my character.

Det. Ware:
I mean, why does it even have to be part of the equation? People are dying. We need to get the bad guy. That should be it. No half-cocked reverends running around, getting people mad about the wrong thing. No mayors so afraid of offending black folks, he doesn't even wanna tell the community what to look out for.

[sighs]

Det. Ware:
It's exhausting sometimes.

Derek Morgan:
It's the way it's always been, man. Politicians, community leaders, they do what they do. You and me, we do what we do. We're the foot soldiers in these streets getting the job done.
