Cops breaking the law to quote, defend the law, is a real terrible slippery slope.
It has given license to the breaking of law everywhere, justified it and excused it.
Thats something that were going to have to collectively address all cop shows.
In a touchingInstagram post, Crews wrote, Cant believe youre gone so soon.
He continued: Thank you for your wisdom, your advice, your kindness and your friendship.
Deepest condolences to your wife and family in this difficult time.
You showed me what a life well lived looks like.
Rest In Peace, Andre.
I love you, man.
Will miss your dulcet tones.
