Michael McGrady: Detective Daniel Salinger

Quotes 

• Detective Daniel Salinger : Remember the face. It's the reason we drag our sorry asses to work every morning in the service of a city that just doesn't give a damn. Fighting Gang Crime is like punching water. No matter how hard you hit, you just can't leave a dent. When a baby gets murdered, it makes you remember what it felt like the first time you put your blues on and stood in front of a mirror. It makes you remember WHY you became a cop. The Mission is clear. Punish evil everywhere. There are hard working, decent folks in these communities. Certain lines cannot be crossed, and there is only one way to send this message sometimes. So we're gonna send our boots so far up these gangsters asses, they wont ever dream about pulling this bullshit ever again.
