When a white detective that works in the NYPD is shot and killed by one of his own, the black officer that pulled the trigger will not be charged for his death, because the incident falls under the Friendly Fire law. This causes many in the community to become enraged, so they come together and organize a march for justice--even prompting opposing gang members to stop warring with each other and unite to fight for change in the judicial system. The accidental shooting also leads the officers in the NYPD to do an intervention in an attempt to get rid of discriminatory practices and prejudices within the police force.
