Goofs:

Continuity: The drive-by shooters who shot up Janila's house used automatic weapons: machine guns. However, police are shown picking up red shotgun shells from the living room floor inside the house. Machine guns don't have plastic shell casings; even if they did, they wouldn't be inside the house, but rather on the street where the weapons were fired.

Quotes:

Det. Lydia Adams: [on finding a baby in the street] I don't know... Maybe the mom ran to the store or somethin', got picked up, didn't tell the cops about the baby?
Det. Russell Clarke: Maybe it was a carjacking - they look in the back seat, they see the baby, they freak out, they dump it.
Ofcr. John Cooper: [facetiously] Or maybe God dropped it down.
[the two detectives stare at him]
Ofcr. John Cooper: Come from heaven.
