officer tom shaffer: through high school and college i worked as a community center director in lower

income neighborhoods. i'm able to relate and get along with the people a lot better having prior experience with dealing with this type of environment and i feel it's made me more effective as a police officer being able to relate to these people. understand what their culture is about and just understand them as a human being and giving them respect whereupon they give me respect in return and assist me in performing my job. ...copter is following a vehicle. i've got the copter following a vehicle. the guy's bailed out of a possible stolen car. he's following the car right now that they got into. okay, now they're going to come back north. i'm advised that they've bailed out of the car and they're hiding right now. they believe under a tree. they're bailing out of the car and they're running, let's see now... we've got

them going all different directions. they're heading... east and westbound. the passenger's going eastbound here. ( garbled radio transmission ) ...he's running. yes, yes, yes. where's he at? he's laying right in here. i thought i heard something. he went this way and he went here. two of them... two of them went eastbound. the driver had the multi-colored and the baseball hat on. he's wearing orange. why did they get in the damn car when he..? no, this was a separate car. this was a maroon car that was pulling... i caught it on 33rd street. i couldn't get on the radio because the copter was on it. shaffer: can they follow you, colonel? another vehicle checked out, but we couldn't see them. of boulevard in the alley north of 30th. a tan-colored vehicle

along .... building... go get him. there he is! ( yelling ) show your hands! show your hands! let me see your hands. you give up? yes! shaffer: we have this one under control. keep the perimeter up. we still have one over here. irwin: turn around, face the fence. where's your buddy at? where's your buddy? i don't got no buddy. where's the guy in the orange coat? the dude came through the alley he said, "you better run." yeah, right. please don't let that dog get me. his buddy's got to be right around here with him. oh, ( bleep ) sit down. they suspected one stolen car. they got out got into another car possibly stolen. got out of that car.

possibly got into a third car or they were just with the other group that was allegedly stripping a car at this time from what the copter's saying. and we've got one apprehension on the subjects. we've still got three out. we've got a good perimeter on the two that ran westbound. go up there and cuff him. man: get him off! okay, get up. he's already handcuffed. where are you at, colonel? okay, it's cracked. there's keys in it. that's a fake key. the ignition is in the "off" position. they punched the column on the other side. started it with a screwdriver. but they stuck a key in it so if the police pull up they think the police will think the car's not stolen 'cause they see the key. however, if you're a good police officer you'll see that it's not cranked forward which would give

us a hint that the car was stolen. irwin: it went up the alley just west of 31st and graceland, northbound and then they bailed out mid-alley. four of them jumped out. the vehicle continued northbound and hit a fence. we took off on foot after two of them. the subject in the orange hat was the driver the subject in the green michigan jacket was the back seat passenger. this car that you had in pursuit it's stolen. it's punched, no keys in it and the owner's signing a verification right now. okay, that's what we needed. looks like a pretty decent quantity of cocaine. so, not only have we got a stolen car he fled in the vehicle which is a felony to flee in a vehicle and jumped out of the vehicle while it was running and also he had narcotics besides the vehicle being stolen. you got four stolen cars. and then the other car

was stopped behind the van. then the van had six guys in it. roger got two guns out of it. then we had an abandoned car that they tried to get into and steal the radios out of it. plus, they find narcotics in the car. are you going to write these guys down as suspects on this stuff? i don't think they can be identified with it. i think they're just stuck with the guns. these are the guns that were taken out of the van. a very old colt .38 special. had six in it. it was lying under the passenger-side front seat of the van. if i'm correct it was on the driver's side. the beretta nine millimeter was under the passenger-side seat. if they're into stealing cars like they are they were a cover car. there's too many cars for this...

there had to be somebody that was going to load the stuff up. hopefully, their information will match up on the prints, maybe. ♪ ♪ [ male announcer ] pain not sitting too well? burning to feel better? itching for relief? preparation h offers the most maximum strength solutions for all hemorrhoid symptoms. from the brand doctors recommend most. preparation h. don't stand for hemorrhoids.

officer emmanuel toliver: i always use my tour of duty as if i was playing baseball. it takes a lot of people to win a game. each position is an important position. if you're the catcher you got to know what the pitcher will do. if you're the first baseman you got to know where the guy is on second. if you're in the center field you got to know who will score the next run. life is the same way-- you got to realize where you are and how you'll get there. everybody get a chance to bat and when this is your turn you do your best. you might get a walk or you might get a homer. you might even get a grand

slam. you even might strike out but at least you get to play the game and everybody get that chance to do. everybody get a chance to play the baseball game. dispatcher: 1490, 1433, or 33 adam. ( siren wailing ) we're stepping it up because the officers are calling for help. i guess the subject that they're trying to detain is fighting, so we're going to see what's going on. get some gloves. i'll bet i ain't going to get no better. ( bleep ) no, me and my old lady got into it. sit down. i ain't going to sit down. like i said, i don't want to. just let them take care of you. if they're going to take me there they can take me to jail. don't put that on. we

ice-cold. yes, it is. i can feel it through the glove. you really need to go now, pat. you got to go to the hospital. you need to get a bandage on it. i ain't did nothing wrong and i ain't done nothing to you. nobody said you did anything wrong. let me do what i want to do. i'm going to go to the hospital. you can't tell me i got to go right now. we'd like you to go, patrick. we want your hand to be okay. patrick. if he don't want to go we're going to go ahead and lock him up. okay, check this out, g. yeah, come on, turn around. you're under arrest, okay? y'all are standing around here. i can't go no damn where. so where is he going? he's going to the hospital. which hospital? ( indistinct ) get my coat. i'm not getting in there. yes, you are. you're going

to get messed up for no reason, at all, okay? step up there. you don't want to go up there? i'm going to take you down if you don't. you don't want to go up there? you going? facedown or on your back? how's that? hey, man, you're hurting my... that's your fault. no, it's your fault. i told you to leave me alone. here's your hat. you tightened them up. okay, lift me up. toliver: i believe this one could have escalated to a lot worse than what it could have been. he was upset with this girl. he probably don't like the police anyway and he wanted to fight. i didn't

want to fight. i wanted to get him to a hospital to seek help get him some help instead of fighting him. yeah. he's better now. he said he was going to be okay. oh, okay. my brother-in-law's a doctor and... oh, man. take that one off. what happened? you and her was just arguing? me and my old lady got into it. what did she do, cut you with a..? no. she didn't mean to. she hit you with a bottle? huh? no, she had a bottle but she didn't mean to cut me like she did. you want to press charges on her? no. toliver: he said that he's going to be okay and he appreciated what i done for him. i advised him that i wasn't going to arrest him but i was going to detain him so he wouldn't bleed to death. i was more afraid of that than anything else.

so i explained it to him and he appreciated it and i think i got a friend in sean and sean got a friend in me.

( several people talking ) shh. what are you saying happened here? he ain't supposed to be around here. is he supposed to live in here? no. the cops done been called... where did he come in through? woman: the side door. okay. and then what happened? he started grabbing on him started grabbing on... grabbing on him? the guy with the broken leg. then who did what? how did he get the injury? he started grabbing so i... what did you cut him with? nothing. how are you involved in this? he's my uncle. i went outside with him a few minutes ago. there wasn't nothing wrong with him. he wasn't bleeding or nothing. have you been huffing tonight? no, i don't huff. who's been sniffing

the glue? not me. have you been huffing? who's been huffing? him? why does it smell like glue in here? i'm getting a buzz right now in here. his whole family does this. schutz: i think he got hit with something. he didn't get shot or stabbed. they're saying he came in through the side door and this gentlemen right here supposedly defending himself according to a variety of people in the building he struck him with his fist. he's not sure what he struck him with he's so huffed out. yeah. he's having seizures. ruptured his insides. exactly. i just want to know what was going on. he was outside disconnecting the cable box. why was he doing that? i don't know. he's been doing it for the last three days. how did he get punched? he jumped on me, so i jumped on him. what did

you hit him with? i didn't hit him with nothing. he's gonna go to the hospital in stable condition, but he's breathing. slip by the door and give me a hand. he's high too. they're manufacturing toluene downstairs. oh, they're making it? yeah. there could be tons of it sitting out there in the garage. can we go back there or you want to sit here with him? go back in there and just see if we can see it? where's the stuff, downstairs? yeah, i pulled one of the jugs from over here. there's another one right there. okay. this right here is another can-- a nice gallon can of toluene. this is basically a glue type of... varnish. paint solvent. it's a paint solvent, right. what they'll do is they'll put it in a rag and just huff it and

puff it till it blows your house down so to speak. and, uh, a lot of times what they'll do is they'll also take paint, typical paint-- white. doesn't matter. and they'll put their face around it and, um... a pretty common indicator is a big white ring all around their mouth. she's probably tallywagged out. you've heard of a crack house. this is kind of a toluene house a glue house in essence and, uh, they just get about six or seven people in here and all they do is huff and puff and even the dog upstairs is high. it's shivering and shaking so you really don't know what's going on. the dog is probably about as high as everybody else. if you stay in here longer than ten minutes

you're going to end up testing positive on something. we're going to roll on back to the garage where apparently they've got their own lab of sorts. it looks like they caught it on fire too. toluene can there. as you can see there's burnt toluene cans right there. there's one, two, three, four, six... seven. you have to realize this is the cheapest way to get a buzz. it's about five dollars a can for a whole gallon. it's a lot cheaper than, uh...cocaine it's a lot cheaper than, uh... cigarettes. it's a lot cheaper than beer. the main problem is it will kill you in about... half the time. officer: i've got him at gunpoint. dispatcher: gunpoint, 132 and bush. cover is code three.
