parent of the Year speaking Terry baby talk to me where the hell is Mumu oh no I think Terry has a child named Mumu and we forgot to pick her up it's not a baby Jake it's kagney's blankie she calls it that because it has a little cow head she said she had it in a minivan where is it now uh up down up down up down up down up down up down up down never let him play with the windows that's parent one1 and Santiago I can't believe you didn't stop it I'm sorry sir I knew it was wrong and I did nothing which is ultimately worse KAG can't sleep without Mumu and if Kagney doesn't sleep Lacy doesn't sleep and if Kagney and Lacy don't sleep Terry doesn't sleep no Jake doesn't live oh my God where did you start letting them play with the windows uh on 8th it was close to the house it better be the sitter leaves in 10 minutes and this is the last thing I need okay I'm so sorry about this sge oh and one more thing I love you I love you too Jay Momo Momo what's going on buddy oh hey don't move oh I was just step back keep your hands right can see him drop that what's wrong I got stopped by a cop last night sto for what stop for walking that makes zero sense unless oh crap I see what happened yeah SS that's terrible that's so messed up oh jeez I have no idea what's going on he got stopped for being black get woke Scully what happened it was right after I found Mumu what are you doing in the sa buddy I live here listen who you need to lower your voice lower my voice you know put your hands on your head turn around don't make any sudden movements I didn't do anything also I'm keep talking see what happens next huh they got well did you tell him you're a cop I tried to but things escalated so quickly and I didn't have my badge on me I eventually told him and he finally looked me up in the system and let me go I can't believe this I mean nothing like that has ever happened to me and I've done some pretty suspicious things in the street hey hey hey there what are you doing I'm just playing a prank on my buddy sounds fun carry on it was a very good prank I totally thought I was going to die I mean I've had run-ins with officers before but this one really stings it was right outside my home so what are you going to do slash his tires you shouldn't do that but just out of curiosity what kind of car does he drive and where does he park it you could file an official Complaint and Captain Holt would wield that like a hammer and crush the guy I don't want to start a whole H blo all right I mean I think I just need to sit down with the guy and have a direct conversation just make sure he doesn't ever do anything like this again that makes sense thanks for coming I'm really glad you set this up so sorry for what happened oh wow I am really happy to hear that I was thinking this conversation was going to go a lot differently no no no it was an honest mistake I mean if I known you were a cop I never would have treated you that way so you're sorry for not knowing I was a cop sooner yeah and that's it yeah but you shouldn't have treated me that way whether I was a cop or not what do you mean I was just walking down the street there's nothing suspicious or illegal about that okay but you and I both know that you don't exactly look like you belong in that neighborhood I live there look 9 out of 10 times I get call to that neighborhood it's about a guy that looks like you were you responding to a call no you're missing the point no you're missing the point I just want you to admit you only stop me because I'm black to apologize and to say you won't do it again hey look we wouldn't even be having this conversation if you had your badge on you next time don't forget it oh so this is all my fault I'm not apologizing for doing my job that's not the job man I can't believe it went down like that should we maybe revisit some of our earlier ideas Vis A tires and slashing I should have known there was no talking to a guy like that I don't see any other option I'm submitting an official Complaint with Hol I know it might feel weird to report another officer but it's the right move Holt's going to eat him for for breakfast malde has no idea what's about to hit him I'm not going to submit this what why not because I think it's a [Music] mistake sir I can't get why you don't want me to file a complaint I thought you of all people would support me first of all let me say what that officer did to you was wrong deeply wrong and I'm furious about it okay so why don't you back me up because that complaint could backfire cops who blow the whistle off other cops almost always face a backlash just like people who socialize with Margot invariably hear about our trip to Scottdale you real worked up about Margot sorry she's horrible listen I don't want to see your career derailed because you were bmer merched for reporting on another officer but what he did was wrong he should be besched yes but is that Bing worth the greater Bing of your career you have to balance Bings there's politics to being a cop but I wasn't harassed for being a cop I was harassed as a black man I'm not saying do nothing I'm saying the most powerful action you can take is to rise through the ranks so that you can make large scale changes I've had to pick my battles and it hasn't always been easy but now I have my own Precinct a Precinct whose offices would never do to you what office am out act did Terry I know you're upset but this is the right thing to do you're this close to the city council position and that's just the beginning it would be a shame to jeopardize that look I get that the guys in our Precinct wouldn't profile me but it still happened only one Precinct over which is why you need to keep pushing forward in your career so that you can change the system Terry you're a great cop you could become a chief or hire how long will it take to make change that way Malak is on the street now you know why I became a cop please share because when I was a kid I always wanted to be a superhero stop it stop bothering Little T or what or I will defeat you whoa I wanted to help people like that cop helped me but right now I don't feel like a superhero I feel the opposite when I got stopped the other day I wasn't a cop I wasn't a guy who lived in the neighborhood looking for his daughter's toy I was a black man a dangerous black man that's all he could see a threat and I couldn't stop thinking about my daughters and their and how years from now they could be walking down the street looking for their kids MooMoo and get stopped by a bad cop and they probably won't get to play the police card to get out of trouble I don't like that thought now I'm going to do something about it so I don't care if it might hurt my career I'm filing that report even if I have to go over your head to do it good reason I thought a lot about our conversation when I was a young police officer and and things like this would happen to me I felt very alone I wanted to call out every bad cop I encountered and there were a lot but as a black gay man I never had a superior who was on my side so the advice I offered you that came from a different place a different time I put all my energy towards rising to a rank where I can make a difference well I'm there now and I realize that if I don't back you up on this I would be betraying the very thing that I work so hard for so I filed the complaint I appreciate that captain we're celebrating to doing the right thing I don't know maybe we shouldn't have filed the complaint maybe I could have done more if I had gotten a liazon job maybe but one thing's for certain Malak will think twice before making another bad stop like that again again and that's a win yeah it's tough it [Music] is
