Sergeant Jeffords: Officer Maldack. Thanks for coming.
Officer Maldack: Hey. I'm really glad you set this up. I'm so sorry for what happened.
Sergeant Jeffords: Oh. Wow. I am really happy to hear that. I was thinking this conversation was gonna go a lot differently.
Officer Maldack: No, no. It was an honest mistake. I mean, if I had known you were a cop, I never would've treated you that way.
Sergeant Jeffords: So you're sorry for not knowing I was a cop sooner?
Officer Maldack: Yeah.
Sergeant Jeffords: And that's it?
Officer Maldack: Yeah.
Sergeant Jeffords: But you shouldn't have treated me that way whether I was a cop or not.
Officer Maldack: What do you mean?
Sergeant Jeffords: I was just walking down the street. There's nothing suspicious or illegal about that.
Officer Maldack: Okay, but you and I both know that you don't exactly look like you belong in that neighborhood.
Sergeant Jeffords: I live there.
Officer Maldack: Look. Nine out of ten times I get called to that neighborhood, it's about a guy that looks like you.
Sergeant Jeffords: Were you responding to a call?
Officer Maldack: No, but you're missing the point.
Sergeant Jeffords: No, you're missing the point. I just want you to admit you only stopped me because I'm black and to apologize and say you won't do it again!
Officer Maldack: Hey, look. We wouldn't even be having this conversation if you had your badge on you. Next time, don't forget it.
Sergeant Jeffords: Oh, so this is all my fault?
Officer Maldack: I'm not apologizing for doing my job.
Sergeant Jeffords: That's not the job, man.
