06:46 "You need to talk to somebody who has been there who can calm you and make sure you know, above and beyond, that you are not alone. And that's really the thing that the film really hammers home."
13:19 "When you are put in a place, let's say the theater of war and you're going to see terrible things, the bottom line is some people are going to react differently. But you're not going to come back the person you were. It's going to change you."
15:16 "My films that are pro-law enforcement and are meant to tell both the positive stories about law enforcement that the mainstream media ignores, as well as address the critical issues that law enforcement faces that the mainstream media also tends to ignore, I'm sure they don't fit that algorithm."
17:06 "It is a culture issue where, as a profession, I believe that we have failed mightily to ensure that police officers know as part of their profession, they need to stay proficient in these tactics."
21:09 "I think as a profession, we can continue to do better. We have to evolve and become something more along the lines of what people actually perceive. No, we can't kick everybody's ass. No, we're not superheroes but we can still be better."
