Rudy Timmons: Because once you familiarize yourself with the chains of bondage you prepare your own limbs to wear them. Fuckin' Abraham Lincoln said it, and I fuckin' believe it, so you have got to get me the fuck out! Now.
Question: How did Danny not get charged for taking hostages? He is even reinstated back into the police force.





Answer: Given the department-wide conspiracy he uncovered it's clear the authorities were unwilling to prosecute him.
Danny was so good with the hostages; I'm sure they wouldn't testify against him either. It would be too risky for the D.A. to try and prosecute.
