Law & Order, Season 21

Price:
You can't prove what actually happened. You can only guess. That's the issue. We don't know what happened. And in this political climate, there's no way a jury is going to convict a woman for murder one based on these facts.

Cosgrove:
You mean there's no way they're ever going to convict a Black woman for shooting a white cop. That's what you're really saying, isn't it? Because if Kendra Daniels was white...

Price:
But she's not. She's Black. There's a certain reality to that fact that if you don't understand that, or you can't appreciate that, that's on you. I'm doing the best I can with the facts and the evidence I have. I'm sorry you don't approve, but don't you dare question my integrity.

Cosgrove:
Or what?

Bernard:
Hey! That's enough. The man's just doing his job.

Cosgrove:
His job is to prosecute Kendra Daniels to the fullest extent of the law, not make excuses for her just because she's Black.

Bernard [stepping in] Hey, give me a second, Price. [to Cosgrove] Hey, man. You gotta back down.

Cosgrove:
That woman shot and killed Jimmy Doyle, Kev. And she knew he was a police officer. That's it. That's all that matters.

Bernard:
That's what you believe, Frank? Hmm? You believe it's that simple? A Black woman and a white cop? Hmm? [Cosgrove walks off]

Bernard:
Hey, Price.

Price:
Yeah.

Bernard:
Frank is a good man. Says what he feels, and right now he's feeling a lot of pain. And for the record... I respect what you're doing. Takes a lot of guts to stare down NYPD on a case like this.
