Detectives on the scene
26 October 2017
In an unusual twist to the Law And Order standard pattern, Detectives Logan and Greeney were on the scene of not one but two homicides. First a man lands on the roof of their car during a surveillance of a drug dealer. Then while Chris Noth and George Dzundza check out the apartment where the recently deceased fell from, two uniform cops go to the roof in pursuit of the fleeing subject of the surveillance. Shots ring out and Logan and Greeney find one of the uniform officers dying of a gunshot wound and the partner Wendy Makkena just numb in a state of shock.

Every person on the NYPD is out after the drug dealer that was being watched who is now labeled a cop killer. Still during the course of the investigation a lot of unpleasant facts about the deceased are found out.

One of Michael Moriarty's finest pieces of acting comes in the final scene where ADA Ben Stone is before the Grand Jury presenting the facts. I only wish it had gone on a bit longer.
