QUOTES
02:15 "'Any officer that was fired upon that afternoon, as far as we
are concerned, is a victim of attempted murder,' said Voci. Moments
after the preliminary hearing, the DA's office announced 62 new
charges against Hill for the dozens of other officers that were fired
on during the standoff."
02:57 "Federal money for crime victims comes not from tax dollars but
from fines and penalties in federal criminal cases which have been
declining. Insiders say the spending cutback is due mostly to concern
in Congress that the overall crime-victim fund should not be unduly
depleted."
06:24 "The officer reacted by grabbing the subject and attempted to
remove him from the motorcycle. These attempts were defeated as the
motorcyclist accelerated rapidly causing the officer to be struck and
dragged across several lanes of 118th."
07:51 "Goetsch and Schmoker are among 18 individuals who have been
awarded the Carnegie Medal – the highest honor for civilian heroism in
the U.S. and Canada – for risking their lives while trying to save
others from drowning, burning vehicles, or burning homes."
