- Tabin Cordon: She did not call the cops on me. Ma!
- Aaron Thorsen: Hey, hold on. It's... It's alright. Tabin, right? Officer Thorsen. Call me Aaron.
- Tabin Cordon: She's crazy, okay?
- Aaron Thorsen: Your mom didn't call us, okay? But she is worried about you.
- Tabin Cordon: What am I supposed to do? Stay cooped up in here? I-I want to live my life.
- Aaron Thorsen: Right, and she wants you to live a long and good life, too. All moms do. You know, it's just, sometimes, they can trip about everything. Listen. I know how you feel, okay? My mom, she's a piece of work, too. Sometimes I feel like she's the kid and I'm the adult.
- Tabin Cordon: Yeah. Yeah. You know.
- Aaron Thorsen: Right. But you still got to show her respect, okay? No matter how angry you get. When I was your age, I was angry, too. Listen to her, right? If you get upset or whatever, just take a beat before answering. I mean, she changed your diapers, man, okay? You owe her that.
- Tabin Cordon: I hear you.
- Tim Bradford: Anything else bothering you? Kids at school?
- Tabin Cordon: Nah.
- Tim Bradford: You use?
- Tabin Cordon: No, sir.
- Tim Bradford: Good. Any gangs pressuring you to join?
- Tabin Cordon: No, no.
- Aaron Thorsen: Here's my card, alright? It's got my cell on it. Anything stresses you out, you give me a call, okay? But no more slamming these doors. You feel me?
- Tim Bradford: Hello, ma'am. We had a noise complaint. Yelling. Everything okay?
- Althea Cordon: I was just arguing with my son. Ain't no need for the police.
- Aaron Thorsen: Okay, so what's the problem, ma'am?
- Althea Cordon: My son, Tabin.
- Aaron Thorsen: Mm-hmm.
- Althea Cordon: He won't listen. He cuts school. He won't pick up after himself. And the mouth on that boy.
- Aaron Thorsen: And how old's your son?
- Althea Cordon: 15.
- Tim Bradford: He threaten you?
- Althea Cordon: He knows he better not!
- Tim Bradford: Okay. Any drugs, weapons, other criminal behavior?
- Althea Cordon: Tabin? Absolutely not. I see him drifting. He's running the streets instead of doing schoolwork. Told him he's gonna end up like his sister. I already lost one child. I'm not gonna lose another.
- Aaron Thorsen: And let me guess... He didn't want to hear that, huh?
- Althea Cordon: He says I don't know what I'm talking about. Starts yelling and... and slamming doors. I told him, "You break my house, I'mma break your head."
- Tim Bradford: Okay. Well, we can't arrest him if he hasn't committed a crime.
- Althea Cordon: Ain't nobody asking you to do all that. You can't talk to him, put the fear of Jesus in him, help keep him out of trouble? I pay your salaries. You know what? We should defund y'all ass.
- Aaron Thorsen: Look, um, I-I'll talk to him, okay? Is he inside?
- Althea Cordon: Mm-hmm.
