Transcript:

Police Officer: Put it this way, ma'am - if I drew my gun and intervened, the mugger would have come at me with his knife, I would shoot him, the public would cheer and the grand jury would fail to indict me... Then some folks would start yelling, "Callous shooter of innocents," etc., then the D.A. would see a handy political issue, then the Grand Jury would haul me off to court... To hell with it! Punk: What you see is what you Goetz!
