CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Season 10

Brass:
I put my crediblity on the line for you. CSIs said excessive force, I said 'no way'.

Officer Finn:
That's right.

Brass:
Oh, yeah? (plays the dispatch recording of Officer Finn calling Sergeant Johnson a black son of a bitch)

Officer Finn:
I don't remember saying that.

Union Rep:
I'm advising you not to speak, not until we hear the full recording and the witness statements.

Officer Finn:
You think I'm racist? I don't remember, if I said he was black, I was decribing the suspect. I was so focused on what the gun was doing I...

Brass:
Did you see his face?

Officer Finn:
No, it was dark out.

Brass:
Are you telling me, you didn't recognize Scott Johnson? He was a trainee, he rode with you, he was your partner for four months. You spent 8 hours a day in a car together. You saw more of him than you did of your wife.

Union Rep:
This was over 5 years ago.

Brass:
Are you telling me you didn't recognize a guy who put a formal complaint in your file for racial discrimination? Let me read this to you: (starts reading the complaint) "Frequent and excessive use of racial epithets including the 'N' word."

Officer Finn:
First of all, no. I didn't recognize Johnson. And second, yeah, I use street talk with the trainees.

Brass:
Come on, you know that doesn't fly anymore.

Officer Finn:
But believe me, what they get from me is nothing compared to what they're gonna get from the real gorillas in the jungle.

Union Rep:
That's a poor choice of words.

Officer Finn:
I am training them for the real world and out of the dozens and dozens of people I have trained, and that is every color of the rainbow, pal. That hard ass was the only one who ever complained. The only one. He's the racist, not me.
