covered up by the police because he was black. Green interrogates Stevie solo at one point, speaking to him both as a cop and as a black man. He is called to testify in court, and at the end of the episode is seen reminding Van Buren that, while Eric Thomas' death creates guilt for those responsible, Eric is still dead. Another instance of racial issues connected to Green is the episode "Prejudice", wherein a racist kills a black man over a taxi. When Briscoe and Green search the suspect's apartment, Green attempts to arrest him. However, the suspect throws him off and says he will comply only for Briscoe ("Not for you; for him!"); Green nonetheless forcefully handcuffs the man. Like most other detective characters who join the series after 1993, Green carries a Glock 19 pistol as his service weapon. Van Buren reprimands Green for getting personal while interviewing a suspect in the case of an abortion of a fetus thought to have Down syndrome. After Van Buren leaves, Green reveals to Lupo that he was once engaged to a woman who became pregnant; they ordered an amniotic test and "couldn't decide what to do". They eventually terminated the pregnancy. Awards and decorations The following are the medals and service awards worn by Ed, as seen in "Gunplay" (season 15, episode 5).
