I saw Orlando Highgate have an altercation

From what I could tell, it involved some debt
- that Fox owed. - Who's Tyson Fox?
He's the nephew of a woman who lives here.
Um, a woman who I've gotten friendly with.
The nephew lives here?
- Not exactly... - SUAREZ: Officer,
what do you mean by "not exactly"?
He's been staying with his aunt.
He just got paroled.
He spent three and a half years in Otisville
for dealing narcotics. When I found out,
I told her that it was against Housing Authority regulations.
I'm assuming he moved out once you told her that.
She asked if he could stay until he got another place,
and I gave her three days.
You understand you had no authority to do that.
Yeah, I understand.
When I made arrangements with the Housing Authority
for members of the service to live here, I assured them
we'd abide by the rules.
She promised me he was moving...
Yeah, okay, Officer.
Why don't you go back to doing whatever it is
you're supposed to be doing?
Sorry, boss.
Oh, man.
- This is bad. - I encouraged her
and Bentley to cultivate ties with the residents.
It's possible that she lacked the experience
to know what to do with that encouragement.
If that's the case, I may have provided insufficient supervision.
Yeah. You may have.
- You all right? - Yeah.
You tell 'em about Thora's nephew?
SANDEFORD: You can sometimes get away
with leaving out a few details.
SUAREZ: Donaldson wants to be commissioner so bad he can taste it.
He's gonna use all this.
We don't know for sure that the guy who's on parole's the shooter.
He's gonna make your officer wrong
for going against regulations. He's gonna make
you wrong for putting cops in housing projects.
He's gonna make me wrong for letting you.
BENTLEY: Cops make judgment calls
- all day long. - QUINLAN: Yeah.
But when they lead to a double homicide,
that judgment generally gets called into question.
SANDEFORD: Bentley.
SUAREZ: I mean, you know as well as I do... Appearances count.
For everything.
Uh, if it just appears that-that a cop
who has moved into public housing is responsible in any way
for some kind of escalation in violence,
it doesn't matter whether or not it's true.
If it is true, I imagine that's the end of all of our careers.

but in the executive ranks of the department
it doesn't translate into effective leadership.
SHARPE: And regardless of where you wind up,
it will come up with a sweetening of rank.
Be nice to drop the "Deputy" in front of "Inspector,"
- wouldn't it? - That is a fitting resolution to this
according to you, isn't it, Inspector?
A serious attempt at changing
the public perception of who we are
and what we do scrapped, we all go back to business as usual,
and because I get to put eagles
instead of oak leaves on my epaulettes,
I can quietly take my place among the disenchanted...
and the indifferent.
Believe it or not, Deputy Inspector,
the department doesn't base its policies
on providing you with a sense of personal gratification.
Chief Donaldson, you seem to take delight
in going after me personally.
Is it my imagination, or am I in the way of some personal
gratification on your part?
You're out of line, Deputy Inspector.
If you can't be trusted to observe
the most basic protocols of rank,
the most appropriate action for the department to take
might be to strip you of your command
while we figure out what to do with you.
SHARPE: Uh, excuse me.
I would like Chief Suarez to weigh in on that point.
Chief, you've had the greatest amount of
day-to-day contact with the deputy inspector.
What do you think the most appropriate action should be?
She should continue doing what she's doing.
Let her stay where she is. (DONALDSON CHUCKLES)
Is there something going on between
the two of you that I should know about?
- Chief Padaro. - SUAREZ: Chief.
- ROJAS: Chief. - SHARPE: Wasn't expecting
the chief of the department to favor us with his presence.
I just stopped off at the hospital.
Looks like we got lucky this time.
Our ESU officer is going to be okay.
It was suggested that I take a look at the situation in the 7-4.
From what I've been able to piece together,
the shooting at Ruskin Gardens
had nothing to do with Deputy Inspector Haywood's initiative
- to have cops living there. - If you don't mind my saying so, Chief,
it's still creating a heightened risk
for our officers while doing nothing to bring down violent crime.
Actually, year-to-date stats for Brooklyn North
came in and show the decline in violent crime
in the 7-4 precinct make the whole borough look good.
What that tells me is that whatever
Deputy Inspector Haywood's doing is working.
That square with your evaluation, Chief Suarez?
Yes, it does.
We keep going with the programs she's initiated?
With your blessing, I'd like to have the other
nine precincts under my command to adopt her programs.
You available to work with the other precincts, Deputy Inspector?
I'll make myself available.
I'll want to see something on paper laying out
an implementation plan by week's end... that doable?
- Yes, sir. - Thank you, Deputy Inspector.
Thank you, Chief.
