The video captured their argument.
Victoria's call.
And her repeated assertions that a man who looked like Malik couldn't possibly own the property.
The footage also showed Rourke shoving Malik and knocking the phone from his hand.
The sergeant's body-camera recording provided another angle.
It captured Malik repeatedly offering to verify ownership.
It also captured the officer refusing to examine the available information before escalating the confrontation.
The investigator compared the recordings with Rourke's written report.
Several descriptions didn't match.
The report characterized Malik as physically aggressive.
But the available video showed the officer initiating the shove.
It described Malik making a sudden movement toward an object.
Yet the recording showed him explaining that he intended to retrieve his phone for registration information.
And it suggested that Malik refused to identify himself, despite his repeated offers to provide the relevant documents.
Those differences required explanation.
Rourke arrived at his interview with legal representation.
He was angry.
He believed the department was abandoning him because the person involved happened to be wealthy.
He argued that officers often had to make quick decisions when responding to suspicious activity.
The investigator agreed that police officers sometimes faced uncertain situations.
Then asked Rourke to identify the specific facts supporting his conduct.
The sergeant described Victoria's report.
The expensive vehicle.
And Malik's behavior.
The investigator asked what Malik did that suggested he was stealing the Ferrari.
Rourke hesitated.
"He was standing beside it."
The investigator looked toward the report.
"On private property that was later verified to belong to him?"
Rourke shifted.
"At the time, I didn't know that."
The investigator nodded.
"Did you attempt to verify ownership before using force?"
The sergeant looked toward his attorney.
For several seconds, he didn't answer.
Then said, "I was securing the scene."
The investigator asked whether Malik had threatened anyone.
Rourke acknowledged that he hadn't observed a threat.
The interviewer then played the recording of the phone being knocked onto the driveway.
Rourke watched.
For a moment, his expression tightened.
Then he said the movement was accidental.
The investigator asked why he struck Malik's hand rather than taking the offered device or instructing him to set it down.
Rourke became irritated.
"You're watching a few seconds of video without understanding what it's like out there."
The investigator didn't argue.
He asked Rourke to explain what happened before those seconds.
The sergeant described the sequence again.
This time, the answers were less confident.
The investigator continued methodically.
No shouting.
No insults.
And no assumption that Malik's wealth made him right.
