Frank Murphy: Catch ya later.

Jack Braddock: Who are you fooling with that phony radio bullshit? Jesus Christ, Frank, that went out three days after Marconi invented the fucking thing.
Lymangood: You mind if I ask you what you're doing.
Frank Murphy: No... I don't mind at all.
Frank Murphy: Stop calling me Sir - you sound like David Copperfield.
Frank Murphy: Uh-oh... uh-oh. You'd better hold your nose. We're in deep shit.
Jack Braddock: I've been trying to get you all night. Why don't you answer your fucking beeper?
Frank Murphy: I just wanna tell you, Jack, that the next time I'm suspended, so is my fucking beeper.

Suggested correction: The Blue Thunder is caught on camera by a TV helicopter during the aquaduct chase which is evidence it existed.
A helicopter is filmed on CCTV, yes, which gives no detail at all to its use, where it came from, or anything about the conspiracy behind it. The helicopter is proof of the sinister plot and Murphy just destroyed it.
Suggested correction: What you are forgetting is Murphy is already a criminal with or without the helicopter. He stole blue thunder, destroyed two police helicopters, a jet and a police car, endangered civilians lives and finally killed Cochrane. Even if he could prove the conspiracy, there was no way he was avoiding jail. When he walks off at the end, he knows the future is bleak for him.

In no way does that correct the posting. Murphy would have an open-and-shut defence against all "criminal" charges if he could show he was acting against a much larger criminal conspiracy, which he now cannot do. Not only has he scuppered his own chances of defending himself he has handed the real criminals a Get Out Of Jail Free card. The posting is absolutely correct.
