Who Shot Miguel?

Who Shot Miguel? is the title given to the first two episodes of 2008 for TROOPS:NY. The primary story revolves around the shooting of Miguel Chavez by officers from the NYPD. A secondary story revolves around that crazy Colonel Thompson attempting to arrest Tyler for the shooting.

Part 1 (3.8)
Miguel stumbles upon police officers responding to a liquor store robbery. However, the suspects decide to shoot it out with the police. During the gun battle, numerous PD rounds strike Miguel. In the ensuing investigation, Kelly Felth notes that Miguel was struck by more PD bullets then the suspects were. Tevin Felth and Richie Terrik soon discovers that the officers involved have a history of using excessive force with Latino suspects. Meanwhile Colonel Thompson who is now obsessed with sending Tyler to prison for the rest of his life, is obstructing Tevin's investigation by chasing Tyler. Eventually, the NYPD decides to obstruct the investigation as well leading to Bryan Khayman and Davin Felth deciding that the best course of action is for Ryan Pratchard to convine a special grand jury to hear testimony, review evidence, and decide what action is warranted. As the grand jury debates a course of action, Tyler takes up a vigil on Miguel's bedside. The episode ends with Thompson being sent to Alaska, and the officers who shot Miguel being indicted and arrested for attempted murder.

Part 2 (3.9)
The LAPD sends detectives to arrest Miguel on charges of transporting drugs. Ryan begins the prosecution of the cops involved in the shooting. Miguel wakes up and realizes just how much of a close knit group of people he's working with. Bryan, Tevin, Richie, and Davin continue their work on breaking down the NYPD's wall of silence even if it means using the 501st. Tyler and Joe decide to solve the "Thompson problem" by arresting him for obstruction of justice.
