'Glass Shield'

Crime Scene: Los Angeles

Good Cop J.J. Johnson

Bad Cop: The L.A. Sheriff's Department

Incident report: J.J., an enthusiastic rookie, learns about the corruption in the department and attempts to link his bosses to murders and other nefarious schemes that they were involved in.

Criminal intent: A small one that starts the spiral. J.J. (Michael Boatman) agrees to back up his partner, Deputy Bono (Don Harvey), by lying about detaining a suspect (Ice Cube) for a bogus traffic violation. Perjury, guilt, and eye-opening ensue.
