Plot summary

Dennis Williams is stopped by police officers who let him go once they see he is a cop himself. Manny Ortega lives in Brooklyn with his wife Marisol, their daughter and his mother, and hesitates over the felony question on a job application. Out with friends near a dice game, he watches six officers move to arrest Darius Larson, who sells loose cigarettes near a bodega. A shot is fired and Darius is killed; Manny records it on his phone. Back home, he watches the video again, and a newspaper reports that police say Darius reached for their gun. Two officers corner him in a park and press him not to make the recording public, while Marisol warns that releasing it could cost him the job he is trying to get.
