MC ? white desk cop
MC flaw ? afraid of confrontation after he wasn't able to stop his black, pregnant wife's gangbanger relatives from beating him years ago & nearly killing him
Inciting incident - a court releases a troublesome activist from jail on behalf of? the mayor - the activist has a long instigating history of violence -? his latest charge was hitting and disarming a police officer during a protest, which led to an accidental shooting of a black teen
Action ? Out of embarrassment & spite of the mayor's increasing anti-cop rhetoric, the cop who was hit/disarmed & injured the black teen and ultimately suspended, successfully persuades the majority of the force to call in sick at an upcoming rally that's promised to be a "day of rage" by local protesters

Goal ? white desk cop leads what's left of the police force between an all-out war of black protestors vs. anyone who gets in their way
